151 Mathews, V. JohnIdentification of nonlinear, memoryless systems using chebyshev nodesABSTRACT This paper describes an approach for identification of static nonlinearities from input-output measurements. The approach is based on minimax approximation of memoryless nonlinear systems using Chebyshev polynomials. For memoryless nonlinear systems that are finite and continuous with fini...2005
152 Mathews, V. JohnHowling suppression in hearing aids using least-squares estimation and perceptually motivated gain controlABSTRACT Howling is a significant problem even in digital hearing aids equipped with adaptive feedback cancellation. Among the many causes of howling is the inability of the adaptive filter to track rapid changes in the feedback path. Many systems use howling detectors to detect the start of howlin...2006
153 Stevens, KennethModeling and verifying circuits using generalized relative timingWe propose a novel technique for modeling and verifying timed circuits based on the notion of generalized relative timing. Generalized relative timing constraints can express not just a relative ordering between events, but also some forms of metric timing constraints. Circuits modeled using gener...2005
154 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Use of Nitrogen to disorder GaInPSignificant changes in microstructure, surface structure, and alloy composition have been observed in GaInP with the addition of nitrogen.

155 Myers, Chris J.Verification of timed circuits with failure directed abstractionsThis paper presents a method to address state explosion in timed circuit verification by using abstraction directed by the failure model. This method allows us to decompose the verification problem into a set of subproblems, each of which proves that a specific failure condition does not occur. To...2003
156 Mathews, V. JohnA new model of perceptual threshold functions for application in image compression systemsThis paper discusses the development of a perceptual threshold model for the human visual system. The perceptual threshold functions describe the levels of distortions present at each location in an image that human observers can not detect. Models of perceptual threshold functions are useful in ima...1995
157 Stevens, KennethAlgorithms for MIS vector generation and pruningIgnoring the effect of simultaneous switching for logic gates causes silicon failures for high performance microprocessor designs. The main reason to omit this effect is the run time penalty and potential over-conservatism. Run times are directly proportional to the vector sizes. Efficient algorithm...2006

167 Furse, Cynthia M.Take a Stand: Speaking about RF SafetyTell your students at the beginning of the semester that they need to prepare a speech and deliver it before an off-campus audience, and they will not exactly be leaping out of their seats with joy.
