177 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Deep electron traps in organometallic vapor phase grown AlGaAsDeep electron traps have been studied by means of deep level transient spectrosocopy in type nominally undoped and interntionally te doped Al Ga As epitaxial layers which were grown by vapor phase epitaxy from organometallic compounds (OMVPE). Three main deep electron levels are present in undoped m...Vapor phase epitaxy; Shallow impurity identity; Optoelectronic device performance1980
178 Tasdizen, TolgaPrincipal neighborhood dictionaries for nonlocal means image denoisingWe present an in-depth analysis of a variation of the nonlocal means (NLM) image denoising algorithm that uses principal component analysis (PCA) to achieve a higher accuracy while reducing computational load.

180 Mathews, V. JohnParallel-cascade realizations and approximations of truncated volterra systemsAbstract This paper introduces parallel-cascade realizations of truncated Volterra systems with arbitrary, but finite order of nonlinearity. Parallel-cascade realizations implement higher-order Volterra systems using parallel and multiplicative combinations of lower-order Volterra systems. Such rea...1996
181 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Kinetics of Te doping in disordering GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyTe-doped GaInP epitaxial layers were grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy in an effort to clarify the Te disordering mechanism. CuPt ordered GaInP is produced under normal growth conditions. The addition of Te has been reported to induce disorder. One suggested mechanism for disordering GaInP...Crystal growth; Epitaxy; Dynamics2001
182 Furse, Cynthia M.Biomedical telemetry: today's opportunities and challengesBiomedical telemetry is used today to communication with cardiac devices, insulin pumps, and a few other implantable devices that are on the order of 1-2" in diameter. Future systems promise advanced communication with cardiac, optical, neurological and auditory devices that are on the order of a ce...2009-03
183 Tasdizen, TolgaAutomatic markup of neural cell membranes using boosted decision stumpsTo better understand the central nervous system, neurobiologists need to reconstruct the underlying neural circuitry from electron microscopy images. One of the necessary tasks is to segment the individual neurons. For this purpose, we propose a supervised learning approach to detect the cell membra...2009
184 Myers, Chris J.Synchronous interlocked pipelinesIn a circuit environment that is becoming increasingly sensitive to dynamic power dissipation and noise, and where cycle time available for control decisions continues to decrease, locality principles are becoming paramount in controlling advancement of data through pipelined systems. Achieving fine...2002
185 Myers, Chris J.A standard-cell self-timed multiplier for energy and area critical synchronous systemsThis paper describes the design of a standard-cell self-timed multiplier for use in energy and area critical synchronous systems. The area of this multiplier is bounded by N rather than N2 as seen in more traditional combinational parallel array designs, where N is the word size. Energy has a polyn...2001

187 Tasdizen, Tolga; Hansen, Charles D.Statistically quantitative volume visualizationVisualization users are increasingly in need of techniques for assessing quantitative uncertainty and error in the images produced. Statistical segmentation algorithms compute these quantitative results, yet volume rendering tools typically produce only qualitative imagery via transfer functionbase...2005
188 Harrison, Reid R.Power minimization of a 433-MHz LC VCO for an implantable neural recording systemThis paper presents a new random-search based integrated inductor optimization algorithm. The algorithm provides the designer with valuable information about design tradeoffs. it is used to design an inductor to minimize power dissopation in an LC VCO. The measured results show that a 53:1 power sav...2006
189 Myers, Chris J.Timed circuit verification using TEL structuresAbstract-Recent design examples have shown that significant performance gains are realized when circuit designers are allowed to make aggressive timing assumptions. Circuit correctness in these aggressive styles is highly timing dependent and, in industry, they are typically designed by hand. In ord...2001
190 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Surface photo-absorption studies of the chemical structure of GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyThe surface structure of Ga0.52In0.48P was studied by surface photoabsorption. An absorption peak due to P dimers on Ga0.52In0.48P was observed at 400 nm, shorter than for InP (430 nm). From comparison with results for GaAs and InP, the data are interpreted to indicate that at a tertiarybutylphos...Absorption peak; Ordering; Substrate orientation1995
