This Project presents an easily testable design for Programmable Logic Arrays (PLAs). The design is made in such a way to make the PLAs fully testable. This is achieved by adding extra logic. The extra logic added consists of one shift register, two o . . .

It is sometimes difficult to purchase an IC to perform the exact function one desires. Generic motor controller parts are usually available, but they contain many useless functions and lack others for specific applications. This project covers the des . . .

The research described in this report is the application of numerical and parameter identification techniques to the pressure and flow data from a group of maximal expiratory flow tests to estimate the mechanical properties of the lungs (pleural press . . .

VHDL is a hardware description language that can be used to model a digital system. It contains elements that can be used to describe the behavior or structure of the digital system, with the provision for specifying its timing explicitly. A top down . . .

This project examines a practical method for the compression of images using the discrete cosine transform (DCT). The basics of image compression are examined, including a general description of transform coding. The DCT is analyzed from two different . . .

An X-band design using NE4210S01 's scattering parameters, the input and output matching networks were designed to create four Maximum Gain Amplifiers which are combined with four 90 Degree hybrid couplers, designed using Microstrip Line Technology, t . . .

This project is considered as a portion of the XCoNet (Xilinx Chip on the Net). The main goal of XCoNet project is to connect Xilinx FPGAs to the Internet directly so that the chip can be re-configured and upgraded by receiving the configuration bitst . . .

The aim of the project is to study state of the a1t in the design, development and applications of RF MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) devices, with primary emphases on RF MEMS switches, in the context of its imminent insertion and deployment i . . .

The Project is to investigate the current techniques for fingerprint recognition. This target can be mainly decomposed into image preprocessing, feature extraction and feature match. For each sub-task, some classical and up-to-date methods in literatu . . .

This report focuses on issues affecting the performance of Numerical Algorithms on general-purpose processors (Pentium 4, Athlon) and the Centered DFT/IDFT method developed by Dr. John W. Adams of California State University, Northridge. The foundatio . . .
