Multiple View Image Denoising
(2009-12-15)A pinhole camera (large depth of field) image capture is essential in many computer vision applications such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, 3D reconstruction, video surveillance. For these applications obtaining ... -
Examination of Field Electron Emission from Knife-Edge Structures
(2009-12-15)This thesis reports the experimental and modeling research carried out on eld and thermal emission from knife-edge structures. Field emission arises from electron emission from a surface under the in uence of intense ... -
Optimal Proxy-Limited Lines for Representing Voltage Constraints in a DC Optimal Powerflow
(2009-12-15)With the recent restructuring of the electric industry away from the vertically integrated monopolies, electricity markets have emerged in various parts of the country. Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Air Conditioner Motors and Investigation of Cascaded Stalling
(2009-12-15)Air conditioner (A/C) motor stalling is considered as one of the main reasons for the occurrence of delayed voltage recovery events leading to voltage collapse. In recent years, the phenomenon of Fault-Induced Delayed ... -
Analysis of worst case Power system contingencies using vulnerability frontier
(2010-05-15)One of the most important aspect in a power system network is to make a network secure against unanticipated events. In general, a power system network is always made N-1 secure: any single outage will not lead to ... -
Optimizing Hierarchical Algorithms for GPGPUs
(2010-05-15)The performance potential of future architectures, thanks to Moores Law, grows linearly with the number of available devices per integrated circuit. Whether these future devices are ultra-small CMOS transistors, nano-tubes, ... -
Acceleration of MP3 encoder by using the GPU
(2010-05-15)At the present time, CUDA is a useful and common computing engine used by many people. It accelerates the computing speed by running simply same tasks at the same time which is called the parallel processing. Many scientists ... -
Load Dynamic Performance Sensitivity Analysis with respect to End-Use Motor Characteristics and Distribution Feeder Networks
(2010-05-15)Motor dynamics sensitivity analysis with respect to end-use motor characteristics (inertia, load torque profile, electrical parameters) is presented in this thesis. Mechanical data of motors play a very important role ... -
Galois Field Hardware Architectures for Network Coding
(2010-05-15)This paper presents and analyzes novel hardware designs for high-speed network coding. Our designs provide efficient methods to perform Galois field (GF) dot products and matrix inversions, which are important operations ... -
SALIENT POINT DETECTION
(2010-05-15)In psychology, visual saliency is the study of how the human visual system collects, processes, and interprets the world around it. Psychologists hope to uncover data pathways in the brain to understand what brain functions ... -
Performance/cost analysis of Software Implemented Hardware Fault Tolerance Techniques
(2010-05-15)As Moore's law projections continue to hold true, more and more transistors are getting integrated on a single chip. These transistors are being smaller each passing technology generation. Forecasts suggest that the ... -
Automatic generation of high-performance multipliers for FPGAs with asymmetric multiplier blocks
(2010-05-15)The introduction of asymmetric embedded multiplier blocks in recent Xilinx FPGAs complicates the design of larger multiplier sizes. The two different input bitwidths of the embedded multipliers lead to two different shifting ... -

Finding the Parasitic Inductances in a VLSI System Utilizing an Efficient Tree-Code Algorithm
(2010-05-15)Area and power have become larger motivators recently than in the past in both the general purpose and ASIC environment. With the advent of sub-45 micron technologies, more transistors can be fit into a specified area, ... -
A Tool for the Analysis of Market Power Potential in Electric Energy Markets
(2010-05-15)Market power is the ability of a market participant to alter the market price of a good or service without losing customers to competition. The participant's price is profitably maintained above a competitive level for a ... -
Ion energy distributions for collisional ion sheaths at an rf-biased plasma electrode
(2010-05-15)In plasma etching for materials processing, ions are often accelerated towards the substrate via a sheath electric field generated by a bias voltage applied to the substrate electrode. By applying at tailored bias waveform ... -
