Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using MATLAB, 1st edition
Authors: Robert R. Boyd
Venue:  (1999)

:Written for the practicing electronics professional, Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using MATLAB offers a comprehensive, step-by-step treatment of methods used to perform analyses essential to the design process of circuit cards and systems of cards, including worse case analysis, limits for production testing, component stress analysis, determining if a design meets specification limits, and manufacturing yield analysis.. "Using a practical approach that allows engineers and technicians to put the techniques directly into practice, the author presents the mathematical procedures used to determine performance limits. Of particular interest is the author's comparison of MATLAB results to those of Spice derived CAD programs. He shows that Spice returns incorrect results in ac worst-case analyses, and it cannot accommodate the asymmetric tolerances that often occur in design verification. Thus, unlike MATLAB, it is of little use in such problems.. "Along with this important finding, the book includes other original and unpublished material. This includes techniques for performing EVA and RSS using asymmetric tolerances, sensitivity equations for the multiple feedback bandpass filter, and a demonstration that for some ac circuits a true EVA is not realizable.

A generalized logout and recovery system for small CODASYL databases
Authors: Harvey Duhon
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This paper describes an effective replacement for journaling to tape while updating a small CODASYL database, particularly in an online application.The journaling of before and after images of modified pages of the database is replaced with the logging of after images of modified records to a direct access file. To enable recreation of the database environment during recovery, all current database keys are logged with the record.Recovery of the database after system failure is accomplished by restoring the latest backup and reapplying all after images as recorded on the logout file.

Browsing image collections with representations of common-sense activities
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

To support browsing-based subject access to image collections, it is necessary to provide users with networks of subject terms that are organized in an intuitive, richly interconnected manner. A principled approach to this task is to organize the subject terms by their relationship to activity contexts that are commonly understood among users. This article describes a methodology for creating networks of subject terms by manually representing a large number of common-sense activities that are broadly related to image subject terms. The application of this methodology to the Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials produced 768 representations that supported users of a prototype browsing-based retrieval system in searching large, indexed photograph collections.

Embedded Systems Design, 1st edition
Authors: Steve Heath
Venue:  (1997)

:* Practical approach to design * Case studies allow the readers to investigate their own systems * The author, Steve Heath, has many years' experience in computer design Microprocessors are more and more present in many aspects of our daily lives. They have become the standard way of implementing digital systems ranging from sophisticated process control systems to cars, burglar alarms and even children's toys. As a result, the demand for these products is increasing dramatically, as is the need for knowledge and understanding of the technology. This book provides a guide to all aspects of embedded systems design including the hardware, software and the design trade-offs associated with design. The approach taken here is largely practical, the aim being to explain how systems are designed in the real world rather than in theory. In keeping with this approach, there is a chapter of case studies included in the book to allow the readers to investigate their own real systems and gain practical experience.
Real-time dynamic voltage scaling for low-power embedded operating systems
Authors: Padmanabhan Pillai, Kang G. Shin
Venue: Proceedings of the eighteenth ACM symposium on Operating systems principles (2001)

In recent years, there has been a rapid and wide spread of non-traditional computing platforms, especially mobile and portable computing devices. As applications become increasingly sophisticated and processing power increases, the most serious limitation on these devices is the available battery life. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) has been a key technique in exploiting the hardware characteristics of processors to reduce energy dissipation by lowering the supply voltage and operating frequency. The DVS algorithms are shown to be able to make dramatic energy savings while providing the necessary peak computation power in general-purpose systems. However, for a large class of applications in embedded real-time systems like cellular phones and camcorders, the variable operating frequency interferes with their deadline guarantee mechanisms, and DVS in this context, despite its growing importance, is largely overlooked/under-developed. To provide real-time guarantees, DVS must consider deadlines and periodicity of real-time tasks, requiring integration with the real-time scheduler. In this paper, we present a class of novel algorithms called real-time DVS (RT-DVS) that modify the OS's real-time scheduler and task management service to provide significant energy savings while maintaining real-time deadline guarantees. We show through simulations and a working prototype implementation that these RT-DVS algorithms closely approach the theoretical lower bound on energy consumption, and can easily reduce energy consumption 20% to 40% in an embedded real-time system.

Developmentally appropriate LOGO computer programming with young children
Authors: Catherine Wilson Gillespie, Sally Beisser
Venue: Information Technology in Childhood Education Annual (2001)

The Iowa Early Childhood Papert Partnership (IECPP), a partnership among two public school systems, a private university school of education, a Head Start agency, a state area educational support agency, and renown technology theorist Seymour Papert, explored ways that LOGO computer programming can be used in developmentally appropriate ways with young children. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), defined developmentally appropriate practice as (a) age appropriateness, (b) individual appropriateness, and (c) sociocultural appropriateness. Each of these factors are considered, with particular attention being devoted to the developmental theories of Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Howard Gardner, and Lev Vygotsky. It is found that although Piaget is the theorist most commonly cited with reference to young children's work with computers, LOGO programming by young children is also (perhaps even more strongly) supported by the theories of Erikson, Gardner, and Vygotsky. Implications for practice are discussed in detail, drawing on the experience of those who have introduced the Reggio Emilia approach in their early childhood programs. Implications for curriculum design, pedagogy, family involvement, research, and development are all discussed.

Forms of Concrescence: Alfred North Whitehead's Philosophy and Computer Programming Structures
Authors: Granville C. Henry
Venue:  (1993)

:From Greek beginnings to contemporary expression, there have been two competing viewpoints of mathematical existence: a procedural one that understands mathematical objects to be created and a Platonic one that accepts eternal, unchanging, and primordial objects that are discovered. Typically, those who espouse a procedural understanding also must explain how mathematical structures are objective. And those who, like Alfred North Whitehead, maintain a Platonic view also must explain how these ideal objects are apprehended by the activities of reason. Whitehead's progressive affirmation of the processive nature of actual entities, in contrast to his affirmation of the primordial nature of mathematical and other eternal objects, introduced an aspect of incoherence into his philosophy. In this study, author Oranville C. Henry reinterprets Whitehead's philosophy by a procedural understanding of mathematics that is best expressed in the algorithmic lan guages of computer programs. The computing language chosen here is an expression of predicate logic called Prolog. A Prolog program may describe any general situation in formal language. Prolog is employed to describe, but not to represent, the nontemporal activities of the concrescence of an actual entity from its initial simple physical feelings in a conformal phase, through a supplementary phase, to its determinate consummation in a "satisfaction." In this manner, one distinguishes between physical and conceptual prehensions and characterizes a variety of feelings, including simple physical feelings (hybrid and pure), strain feelings, and intellectual feelings. By asserting Whitehead's ontological principle that any explanation is ultimately an analysis of actual entities, the author uses his descriptive programs of actual entities to formalize White head's philosophy, including discussions on feeling and seeing a nexus, the distinctions between perception in the mode of causal efficacy and presentational immediacy The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Local box adjacency algorithms for cylindrical algebraic decompositions
Authors: Scott McCallum, George E. Collins
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

We describe new algorithms for determining the adjacencies between zero-dimensional cells and those one-dimensional cells that are sections (not sectors) in cylindrical algebraic decompositions (cad). Such adjacencies constitute a basis for determining all other cell adjacencies. Our new algorithms are local, being applicable to a specified 0D cell and the 1D cells described by specified polynomials. Particularly efficient algorithms are given for the 0D cells in spaces of dimensions two, three and four. Then an algorithm is given for a space of arbitrary dimension. This algorithm may on occasion report failure, but it can then be repeated with a modified isolating interval and a likelihood of success. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
