Conventional level one data caches are widely used in high-performance microprocessors. Shrinking process parameters in chip fabrication technology allow a much larger number of devices on a chip with every new generation. ...

It is common practice to perform accelerated aging with 60 Hz ac to determine the lifetime characteristics of insulation used in the machine. Comparable breakdown measurements are performed at different voltage levels and ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor that is currently of major interest for power electronics applications. SiC-based semiconductor devices and circuits are presently being developed for use in high-temperature, ...

With the increased requirements for personal portable power systems to be more capable and better matched to the load and the mission, manufacturers have become interested in improved methods for predicting the performance ...

This paper presents an exploratory study of aircraft engine fault indicators obtained from sound and vibration recordings. Observing time sequence and frequency spectra of the recordings, a simple yet cost-effective method ...

A packet buffer for the protocol processor is a large memory space that holds incoming data packets for an application. Data packets for each application are stored in the form of FIFO queues in the packet buffer. Packets ...

THE CRITICAL FLASHOVER (CFO) VOLTAGE OF AN INSULATION STRUCTURE IS COMMONLY USED TO DESCRIBE THE INSULATION STRUCTURE¡¯S LIGHTNING IMPULSE STRENGTH. THE FIBERGLASS DISTRIBUTION POLE WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED TO POWER ...

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of JPEG2000 compression on texture feature extraction from digitized mammograms. A partially automated computer aided diagnosis system is designed, implemented, and ...

Magnet wires find many applications in modern world. Magnet wires used for the electrical insulation in fly-back transformers, solenoids, sensors, adjustable speed drives etc. are subjected to multistress aging factors ...
