Classification of skin abnormalties using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes a study for the classification of skin abnormalities using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy as part of the goal to provide a computer-assisted tool to dermatologists for lowering the ...
On-chip spectrum/vector analyzer for built-in testing of analog integrated circuits
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The number of functions that can be integrated on a single chip has increased during the last years, making the functional testing of circuits a challenging task. Even though the digital testing has reached certain maturity ...
Robustness of the detection probability for the sign detector
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The sign detector and robustness have been studied in many applications. Users of the sign detector need to know when this tool is appropriate, especially when parameters of the noise, such as the variance, are unknown. ...
A switched capacitor, fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator for 20MHz IF digitization
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The past few years have witnessed an explosive growth of wireless applications for mobile communications and wireless networking. With modern sub-micron technologies, it is feasible to achieve complete integration of the ...
Error rate and power dissipation in nano-logic devices
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Current-controlled logic and single electron logic processors have been investigated with respect to thermal-induced bit error. A maximal error rate for both logic processors is regarded as one bit-error/year/chip. A maximal ...
A system for catheter tracking using magnetic resonance
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
MRI guidance of surgical and diagnostic tools is a topic of active research. This thesis describes a system developed in a collaborative effort between BioTex, the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas A&M to monitor the ...
A preference-based extension for the scalable consensus-based bandwidth allocation protocol in a multicast video conference environment
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis develops a protocol extension, the Preference-based Allocation eXtension for Layered Sources (PAXLS), to complement the existing Scalable ConsensUs based Bandwidth Allocation (SCUBA) protocol used in allocation ...
Modeling the probability of excitation and the defective part level as testing progresses
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The primary purpose of digital circuit manufacture testing is to detect defective parts so that they will not be sold to customers. Predicting the defective part level, which results after a set of test patterns has been ...
Low power RF CMOS phase-shifting dual modulus (16/17) prescaler
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This report describes the research work I undertook for my M.S. degree requirements. The conventional and phase-shifting architectures are compared. Problems with the phase-shifting architecture are analyzed and a new ...
A pulsed electromagnet controller for prepolarized MRI
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular medical imaging modality that provides high resolution images with superior contrast. Conventional MRI systems rely on large magnets to generate the main magnetic field, B₀, ...
