1 The A3000: An asynchronous version of the R3000This thesis presents the architectural design and implementation of an N-stage Self-Timed RISC processor based on a subset of the MIPS R3000. The goal is to lay the ground work to show it will be possible in the future to build an asynchoronous pipelined RISC processor that has the chance to to comm...A3000; asynchronous; computers1995-03
2 The dynamic expansion of class hierarchyThis dissertation focuses on dynamic expansion of the class hierarchy of programs written in the C++ programming language.C++; dynamic expansion; program class hierarchy; computers1995-08
3 E-MO : a system for automatically generating emotive-motionsA system is developed to automatically generate control functions for linked mechanisms that express specific emotions. This system could be employed to produce motions for characters in a computer animation. It takes advantage of the fact that evaluation functions, which take physical characteristi...1995-03
4 Heterojunction bipolar transistor sigma-delta analog to digital converter for spread spectrum receiverThe focus of this thesis work was to investigate a means of implementing a high speed sigma-delta modulator that can be used as the front end of a direct sequence spread spectrum receiver.sigma-delta modulator; computers1995-12
5 High-speed conterflow-clocked pipelining illustrated on the design of subband vector quantizatizer chipsThis dissertation introduces Counterflow-Clocked (C2) pipelining and discusses its usefulness and limitations to build large, high speed VLSI chips. It also presents the design of an image compression chip set to implement subband vector quantization that can handle HDTV data rates with reasonable V...VLSI chips; counterflow-clocked pipelining; computers1995-12
6 Localization in outdoor static terrain (LOST)This thesis considers problems that arise while combining these strategies with a feature based approach to the localization problem. A subset of strategies were simplified and implemented, along with key feature based concepts. This experimentation has helped to point out and clarify some aspects o...localization problem; LOST; localization; computers1995-12
7 Matte volumes for selective data visualizationThe matte volumes system uses a volume renderer, surface renderer, and slice viewer for the exploration and visualization of three-dimensional scalar field data. The size and complexity of the volume data pose an interesting challenge to the ideal of providing the scientist with a system which autom...matte volumes; three-dimensional scalar field data; computers; matte volumes system1995-08
8 Parallel solution of Poisson's problems on irregular domain.This thesis is devoted to the solution of the Poisson problem on an irregular domain applying parallel computation techniques on distributed memory machines.Poisson problem; computers1995-06
9 Simulation of numerically controlled milling machinesThis thesis describes a system that can be used to simulate both 3 and 5-axis NC milling toolpaths, reading BCL code. This simulator is based on the imagespace approach in which the workpiece is represented using the z-values resulting from the rendering of a model and metal removal is achieved thro...NC milling; numerical control; computers1995-03
10 The use of inverse rendering in lighting designThis dissertation presents an inverse rendering approach for designing the illumination in an environment using optimization techniques applied to a radiosity based image synthesis system.image synthesis system; radiosity; inverse rendering; designing illumination; computers; radioptimization1995-06
11 Feature-based reverse engineering of mechanical parts: revisionReverse engineering of mechanical parts requires extraction of information about an instance of a particular part sufficient to replicate the part using appropriate manufacturing techniques. This is important in a wide variety of situations, since functional CAD models are often unavailable or unusa...1995-11-06
