Carbon foam characterization: sandwich flexure, tensile and shear response
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The focus of this research is characterizing a new material system composed of carbon and graphite foams, which has potential in a wide variety of applications encompassing aerospace, military, offshore, power production ...
Capacity estimation and code design principles for continuous phase modulation (CPM)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Continuous Phase Modulation is a popular digital modulation scheme for systems which have tight spectral efficiency and Peak-to-Average ratio (PAR) constraints. In this thesis we propose a method of estimating the capacity ...
A CMOS 500MHz continuous-time fourth order 0.05degree equiripple linear phase filter with automatic tuning
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The growing demand of portable electronic equipment and system-on-a-chip has been pushing the industry to design circuits with very low power supply voltage and low power consumption. The Hard Disk drive industry is looking ...
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 ...
