Power supply partitioning for placement of built-in current sensors for IDDQ testing
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
IDDQ testing has been a very useful test screen for CMOS circuits. However, with each technology node the background leakage of chips is rapidly increasing. As a result it is becoming more difficult to distinguish between ...
A class of non-binary LDPC codes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In this thesis we study Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) and LDPC like codes over
non-binary fields. We extend the concepts used for non-binary LDPC codes to generalize
Product Accumulate (PA) codes to non-binary fields. ...
Design of a 3.3 V analog video line driver with controlled output impedance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The internet revolution has led to the demand for high speed, low cost solutions for providing high bandwidth to the consumers. Cable and DSL systems address these requirements through sophisticated analog and digital ...
Optimization studies on thermal and mechanical manufacturing processes for multifilament superconducting tape and wire
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
There are many parameters that significantly affect the electrical performance of ceramic-core superconducting composite wire and tapes, which remain ambiguous and require more labor on their optimization. BSCCO 2212 has ...
The development and application of a diode-laser-based ultraviolet absorption sensor for nitric oxide
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis describes the development of a new type of sensor for nitric oxide (NO) that can be used in a variety of combustion diagnostics and control applications. The sensor utilizes the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) ...
Predictions of monthly energy consumption and annual patterns of energy usage for convenience stores by using multiple and nonlinear regression models
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Thirty convenience stores in College Station, Texas, have been selected as the samples for an energy consumption prediction. The predicted models assist facility energy managers for making decisions of energy demand/supply ...
The Mepkin Abbey shipwreck: diving into Mepkin Plantation's past
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
When discovered by sport divers in 1970, the Mepkin Abbey shipwreck was immediately reported to the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA). The wreck was first investigated in 1980, and a preliminary ...
The Vogelbarke of Medinet Habu
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The Sea Peoples are generally assumed to be a loose confederation of clans that first appeared in the historical record in the 14th century B.C.E. Over a century of scholarship has puzzled over whether they were responsible ...
Tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser using an intra-cavity filter
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Linear tuning the frequency of an erbium-doped fiber ring laser using both a Fabry-Perot filter and an electro-optic tunable filter has been experimentally demonstrated. The rate of frequency change is determined by ...
Landowner survey of a cost-share brush management program in two Texas watersheds
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
With the expanding population of Texas and the resulting increase in demand for water, the scarcity of water is becoming an increasingly urgent issue and research is being conducted to find ways to improve water yield, the ...
