Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration as an Approach to Motor Control Design
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Recent work in motor controls has been utilizing the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) instead of using the more standard microprocessors or digital signal processors. FPGAs have the advantage of flexibility and ...
A Variable High Gain and High Dynamics Range CMOS Phase Shifter for Phased Array Antenna Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Phase shifters can adjust phases electronically and hence is very popular for phased array antenna applications where radiation angle can be scanned electronically avoiding bulky mechanical rotation arrangement. In this ...
Using Formal Methods to Validate the Usage, Protocols, and Feasibility in Large Scale Computing Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
A paradigm shift has occurred in the Information and Communication Technology sector. The main obstacle to relegate complex and sensitive tasks is not the inadequate speed and unsatisfactory computing power of the existing ...
A Formal Verification Methodology for Real-time FPGA
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Real-time systems in safety-critical and mission-critical domains have stringent or hard timing constraints. The correctness of such systems is of prime importance to avoid any unacceptable consequences like a big financial ...
Energy Efficient Resource Scheduling Methodologies for Cluster and Cloud Computing
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
One of the major challenges in the High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, Data Centers, and Cloud Computing paradigms is intelligent power management to improve energy efficiency. The key contribution of the presented ...
On Measuring the Robustness of Cloud Computing Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The diverse computing services offered by the cloud computing paradigm have escalated the interest in cloud deployment to a great extent. Cloud systems need to be resilient to uncertainties and perturbations. However, the ...
A Phase Correction Technique Based on Spatial Movements of Antennas in Real-Time (S.M.A.R.T.) for Designing Self-Adapting Conformal Array Antennas
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research presents a real-time adaptive phase correction technique for flexible phased array antennas on conformal surfaces of variable shapes. Previously reported pattern correctional methods for flexible phased array ...
Thrombolysis of Blood Clots using Wirelessly Powered Inferior Vena Cava Filters
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Venous thromboembolisms (VTE) are estimated to affect up to 900,000 individuals in the U.S. each year. Traditionally, VTE is treated prophylactically with anticoagulants or directly with thrombolytic therapies. Both ...
Power Efficient Embedded Memory Design for Mobile Video Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This thesis mainly addresses the issue of low-power technology for streaming media
applications. In order to ensure high output video quality under low-voltage supply, the proposed
8-bit pixel memory is sized by different ...
Provable Data Possession Using Sigma Protocols
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
A Provable Data Possession (PDP) scheme allows a client which has stored data at an untrusted server to verify that the server possesses the original data that it stored without retrieving the entire file. In this thesis ...
