1 Myers, Chris J.; Gopalakrishnan, GaneshAchieving fast and exact hazard-free logic minimization of extended burst-mode gC finite state machinesAbstract This paper presents a new approach to two-level hazard-free logic minimization in the context of extended burst-mode finite state machine synthesis targeting generalized C-elements (gC). No currently available minimizers for literal-exact two-level hazard-free logic minimization of extende...2000
2 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James KevinAdsorption and desorption of the surfactant Sb on GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyIt has been determined that ordering has a profound effect on the bandgap energy of many compound semiconductor alloys. Therefore, ordering must be controlled for devices such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and diode lasers. Since ordering depends on the surface properties during organomet...Time dependent surface photoabsorption (SPA); Compound semiconductor alloys2000
3 Myers, Chris J.Automatic abstraction for synthesis and verification of deterministic timed systemsThis paper presents a new approach for synthesis and verification of asynchronous circuits by using abstraction. It attacks the state explosion problem by avoiding the generation of a flat state space for the whole design. Instead, it breaks the design into sub-blocks and conducts synthesis and veri...2000
4 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Bi surfactant control of ordering and surface structure in GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyStudies the effect of the surfactant bismuth on the ordering and surface structure in GaInP layers grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. Disordering caused by the addition of bismuth during growth; Changes in surface structure occurring with the disordering.Thin films, Multilayered; Bismuth2000
5 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James KevinBi surfactant effects on ordering in GaInP grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxyThe effect of the isoelectronic surfactant Bi on surface structure and ordering has been studied for GaInP semiconductor alloys grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy. A small amount of Bi trimethylbismuth added during growth is found to result in disordering for layers grown using conditions t...Surfactant; Semiconductors; Trimethylbismuth2000
6 Tasdizen, TolgaBoundary estimation from intensity/color images with algebraic curve modelsA new concept and algorithm are presented for noniterative robust estimation of piecewise smooth curves of maximal edge strength in small image windows - typically 8 x 8 to 32 x 32. This boundary-estimation algorithm has the nice properties that it uses all the data in the window and thus can find l...2000
7 Stevens, KennethCA-BIST for asynchronous circuits: a case study on the RAPPID asynchronous instruction length decoderThis paper presents a case study in low-cost noninvasive Built-In Self Test (BIST) for RAPPID, a largescale 120,000-transistor asynchronous version of the Pentium® Pro Instruction Length Decoder, which runs at 3.6 GHz. RAPPID uses a synchronous 0.25 micron CMOS library for static and domino lo...2000
8 Stevens, KennethFsimac: a fault simulator for asynchronous sequential circuitsAt very high frequencies, the major potential of asynchronous circuits is absence of clock skew and, through that, better exploitation of relative timing relations. This paper presents Fsimac, a gate-level fault simulator for stuck-at and gate-delay faults in asynchronous sequential circuits. Fsimac...2000
9 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James KevinHeterostructures in GaInP grown using a change in Te dopingIn organometallic vapor phase epitaxy, changes in growth conditions can be used to modulate the extent of CuPt ordering and, hence, the band gap energy of GaInP. One method is to add Te during growth. An increase in the band gap energy of 0.1 eV due to a decrease in ordering has been obtained by ...Heterostructures; Alloys2000
10 Mathews, V. JohnImage enhancement via adaptive unsharp maskingAbstract-This paper presents a new method for unsharp masking for contrast enhancement of images. Our approach employs an adaptive filter that controls the contribution of the sharpening path in such a way that contrast enhancement occurs in high detail areas and little or no image sharpening occur...2000
11 Tasdizen, TolgaImproving the stability of algebraic curves for applicationsAn algebraic curve is defined as the zero set of a polynomial in two variables. Algebraic curves are practical for modeling shapes much more complicated than conics or superquadrics. The main drawback in representing shapes by algebraic curves has been the lack of repeatability in fitting algebraic...2000
12 Harrison, Reid R.Integrating sensorimotor systems in a robot model of cricket behaviorThe mechanisms by which animals manage sensorimotor integration and coordination of different behaviors can be investigated in robot models. In previous work the first author has built a robot that localizes sound based on close modeling of the auditory and neural system in the cricket. It is known ...2000
13 Myers, Chris J.Interfacing synchronous and asynchronous modules within a high-speed pipelineAbstract-This paper describes a new technique for integrating asynchronous modules within a high-speed synchronous pipeline. Our design eliminates potential metastability problems by using a clock generated by a stoppable ring oscillator, which is capable of driving the large clock load found in pre...2000
14 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Surfactant controlled growth of GaInP by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyThe effect of the surfactant Sb has been studied for GaInP semiconductor alloys grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. Dramatic changes in the optical and electrical properties of GaInP with CuPt ordering have been observed. A small concentration of triethylantimony TESb in the vapor is fou...Semiconductors; Surface active agents2000
