Characterization of underground cable incipient failures from on-line monitoring of underground distribution power systems
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
With the imminent re-regulation of the power industry and investor owned utilities becoming more cost conscious, the need for an on-line, non-destructive, incipient cable fault detection system is prevalent. With such an ...
New approach to the fault location problem using synchronized sampling
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis presents a new approach to solving the problem of fault location on a transmission line using synchronized data from both ends of the line. The synchronized phase voltage and current samples taken during the ...
Gossiping in distributed systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Exchange of information between various nodes in a distributed network can be useful to utilize the available resources effectively. Gossiping algorithms can be used for this purpose. We begin with a survey of various ...
An X-based spatial oxide growth visualization software for furnace characterization
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
used for developing the temperature contours inside the furnace. The resulting oxide thickness profiles generated can be viewed either as a color coded graph or portrayed in 3 dimensions. Several conveniences like a user ...
Automatic recognition codes for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis describes an automatic recognition code system designed for non-stop toll collection (part of Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems). The system uses Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem (BCH) codes to encode the ...
On dynamic parallel execution of large scientific codes
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Detection and utilization of the natural parallelism of a program is the key to exploiting the computing power of a massively parallel processing (MPP) computing system. In this thesis some large scientific codes written ...
Switch level optimization for CMOS circuits
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
In this report, 'Input vs Path Matrix 'Techique' and 'Node vs Input Matrix Technique' techniques for reducing transistor count in the pull-up and the pull-down array of CMOS circuits are proposed. Also, algorithms for ...
A WWW-based in-class response system
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Using the current network infrastructure and the Internet capabilities, a WWW-based in-class-response system is developed from which the instructor can obtain instant feedback about the student's comprehension level during ...
EM algorithm estimation of TCM scheme over multipath fading
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The performance of Trellis Coded Modulation scheme via Expectation-Maximization algorithm utilizing a Kalman filter over multipath fading is presented. EM algorithm offers an easier computation than the classical ML ...
Yield learning with line width, sample size and bridge resistance variation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Rapid failure analysis and continuous monitoring of the fabrication line are required in order to maximize the slope of the semiconductor manufacturing yield ramp. Metrology costs are the fastest rising expense occurring ...
