(2015-01-12)The consumer?s demand for state-of-the-art multimedia devices such as smart phones and tablet computers has forced manufacturers to provide more system features to compete for a larger portion of the market share. The added ... -
Low power low-density parity-checking (ldpc) codes decoder design using dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
(2009-05-15)This thesis presents a low-power LDPC decoder design based on speculative scheduling of energy necessary to decode dynamically varying data frame in both block-fading channels and general AWGN channels. A model of a ... -
Low Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition of Zirconium Nitride in a Fluidized Bed
(2012-10-19)The objective of this research was to design, assemble, and demonstrate the initial performance of a fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD) system capable of producing thin, uniform zirconium nitride (ZrN) coatings ... -
Low voltage vertical recording preamplifier for hard disk drives
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Higher data rate hard disk drives(HDD) and improved read channel electronics are demanding preamplifier performance be extended well beyond 1 Gb/s. Historically, preamplifier power requirements were of low ... -
Low-cost motor drive embedded fault diagnosis systems
(2009-05-15)Electric motors are used widely in industrial manufacturing plants. Bearing faults, insulation faults, and rotor faults are the major causes of electric motor failures. Based on the line current analysis, this dissertation ... -
Low-dimensional Lattice Codes for Bidirectional Relaying
(2011-08-08)We consider a communication system where two transmitters wish to exchange information through a central relay. The data is assumed to be transmitted over synchronized, average power constrained additive white Gaussian ... -
Low-energy Passive Solar Residence in Austin, Texas
(2010-10-12)From the various studies, it can be concluded that the excessive summer heating and the humidity are one of the major problems of the hot, humid climatic region. The literature review for this study shows that natural ... -
Low-frequency variability of currents in the deepwater eastern Gulf of Mexico
(2009-05-15)Vertical structure of the low frequency horizontal currents at the northern edge of the Loop Current during eddy shedding events is observed using concurrent hydrographic, moored, and satellite altimetry data from 2005. ... -
Low-level convergence and its role in convective intensity and frequency over the Houston lightning and rainfall anomaly
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)An increase in the amount of lightning and rainfall over the Houston area, compared to the surrounding rural areas, has been well documented in previous studies. The placement of a Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and ... -
Low-power current-mode ADC for CMOS sensor IC
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)A low-energy current-mode algorithmic pipelined ADC targeted for use in distributed sensor networks is presented. The individual nodes combine sensing, computation and communications into an extremely small volume. The ... -
Low-Power Low-Noise CMOS Analog and Mixed-Signal Design towards Epileptic Seizure Detection
(2013-04-25)About 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy and one third of them have seizures that are refractory to medication. In the past few decades, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been explored by researchers and ... -
Low-Power Wireless Medical Systems and Circuits for Invasive and Non-Invasive Applications
(2014-04-23)Approximately 75% of the health care yearly budget of public health systems around the world is spent on the treatment of patients with chronic diseases. This, along with advances on the medical and technological fields ... -
Low-temperature solution synthesis of alloys and intermetallic compounds as nanocrystals
(2009-05-15)The synthesis of solid state materials has traditionally been accomplished using rigorous heating treatments at high temperatures (1,000?C) to overcome the slow rate of diffusion between two reactants. Re-grinding and ... -
Low-voltage, low-power circuits for data communication systems
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)There are growing industrial demands for low-voltage supply and low-power consumption circuits and systems. This is especially true for very high integration level and very large scale integrated (VLSI) mixed-signal chips ... -
LRFD Calibration of Bridge Foundations Subjected to Scour and Risk Analysis
(2013-04-30)Bridge scour is the loss of soil by erosion due to water flowing around bridge supports. Scour has been the number one cause of bridge collapse in the United States with an average rate of 22 bridges collapsing each year. ... -
LTCP-RC: RTT compensation technique to scale high-speed protocol in high RTT links
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In this thesis, we propose a new protocol named Layered TCP with RTT Compensation (LTCP-RC, for short). LTCP-RC is a simple modification to the congestion window response of the high-speed protocol, Layered TCP (LTCP). In ... -
