Design and modeling of a CMOS VCO using wave digital filters / by WeiBo Li.
(2007)Wave digital filters (WDFs) transform an analog network into a topologically equivalent digital structure. A natural application of WDF is the simulation of electric circuits since measurements of any desired node voltages ... -
Design of a 6-DOF haptic interface for robotic teleoperation
(2008)Teleoperation has become increasingly important in medical applications, handling hazardous materials, as well as in other robotics applications. Force feedback in such systems is essential; therefore a haptic device is ... -
Design, analysis and passive balance control of a 7-DOF biped robot
(2007)Biped robots have many advantages than traditional wheeled or tracked robots. They have better mobility in rough terrain and can travel on discontinuous path. The legs can also provide an active suspension that decouples ... -
Designing a secure ubiquitous mammography consultation system
(2004)This thesis attempts to design and develop a prototype for mammography image consultation that can work securely within a ubiquitous environment. Mammogram images differ largely from other type of images and it requires ... -
Detecting depression and malingering using response times on the Personality Assessment Inventory
(2000)The detection of individuals who are malingering psychological dysfunction has proven to be a difficult task (Rogers, 1997). This study was conducted to investigate whether response times on the Personality Assessment ... -
Detecting trends in walleye (Stizostedion v. vitreum, Mitchill) abundance using catch-effort data
(1995)Three methods of analyzing catch-effort data were investigated regarding their relationship to walleye abundance: mean CUE, Gini coefficient and the relative frequency of zero CUE (RFZ). Walleye recreational fishery ... -
Detection and assessment of Armillaria in young conifer plantations of northwestern Ontario and northeastern China
(1991)Methods for detecting and evaluating Armillaria in plantations were compared in a series of studies. The purposes of the studies were to standardize the Armillaria trapping technique, and to determine if it could be used ... -
