2Stringfellow, 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
3Myers, 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

6Tasdizen, 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

8Stevens, 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
9Stringfellow, 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
10Mathews, 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
11Tasdizen, 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
