Mathews, V. John; Dubow, Joel | A stable adaptive Hammerstein filter employing partial orthogonalization of the input signals | Abstract This paper presents an algorithm that adapts the parameters of a Hammerstein system model. Hammerstein systems are nonlinear systems that contain a static nonlinearity cascaded with a linear system. In this work, the static nonlinearity is modeled using a polynomial system and the linear f... | | 2002 |

Myers, Chris J. | Automatic derivation of timing constraints by failure analyis | Abstract. This work proposes a technique to automatically obtain timing constraints for a given timed circuit to operate correctly. A designated set of delay parameters of a circuit are first set to sufficiently large bounds, and verification runs followed by failure analysis are repeated. Each ver... | | 2002 |

Riloff, Ellen M. | Bootstrapping method for learning semantic lexicons using extraction pattern contexts | This paper describes a bootstrapping algorithm called Basilisk that learns high-quality semantic lexicons for multiple categories. Basilisk begins with an unannotated corpus and seed words for each semantic category, which are then bootstrapped to learn new words for each category.

Tiwari, Ashutosh | Copper diffusion characteristics in single-crystal and polycrystalline TaN | We have investigated the diffusivity of copper in single-crystal (NaCl-structured) and polycrystalline TaN thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Polycrystalline TaN films were grown directly on Si(100), while single-crystal films were grown with TiN buffer layers. Both poly- and single-crysta... | Diffusion barriers; Copper diffusion; Tantalum nitride | 2002 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Energy-efficient processor design using multiple clock domains with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling | As clock frequency increases and feature size decreases, clock distribution and wire delays present a growing challenge to the designers of singly-clocked, globally synchronous systems. We describe an alternative approach, which we call a Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) processor in which the chip is d... | Multiple clock domains; Synchronization; Microarchitecture | 2002 |

Scarpulla, Michael | Enhanced nitrogen incorporation by pulsed laser annealing of GaNxAs1-x formed by N ion implantation | We demonstrate that pulsed laser annealing followed by rapid thermal annealing greatly enhances incorporation of substitutional N in N1-implanted GaAs. Films implanted to 1.8% N exhibit a fundamental band gap of 1.26 eV (a band gap reduction of 160 meV), corresponding to an N activation efficiency ... | Highly mismatched alloys; Gallium arsenide | 2002 |

Tiwari, Ashutosh | Epitaxial growth of ZnO films on Si(111) | In this paper, we report the growth of ZnO films on silicon substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique. These films were deposited on Si(111) directly as well as by using thin buffer layers of AlN and GaN. All the films were found to have c-axis-preferred orientation aligned with normal to... | Buffer layers; Aluminum nitride; Silicon substrate; Biaxial strain | 2002 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Influence of Sb, Bi, Tl, and B on the incorporation of N in GaAs | GaAs:N is an interesting material for many devices due to its unique compositional variation of band gap. Small amounts of N lead to a strong decrease in band gap energy as well as lattice constant. The further addition of In or Sb leads to quaternary alloys with band gap energies below 1.4 eV latti... | Antimony; Gallium Arsenide; Nitrogen | 2002 |
