A sensor interface system for digital radiosondes
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-12)
A new radiosonde is needed to increase the accuracy, reliability, and speed of processing of upper-atmosphere observations. Two previous theses have investigated a pulse modulated transmitter and more accurate sensors. ...
Design of an improved acoustic system for determination of the concentration of microbubbles in the ocean
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-12)
An acoustic system was designed to investigate microbubble concentrations and distributions in the ocean. The system consisted of a one-dimensional standing-wave resonator and a reverberation sensor. Concentrations are ...
Analysis of a forced limit-cycling regulator
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-09)
The recent introduction of high current-capacity thyristors has
advanced the status of solid-state power supplies. ON-OFF switching of
an entire rectifier bridge, rather than individual thyristors, provides
a simple and ...
Solid state amplitude modulated acoustic anemometer
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-06)
In recent years considerable research has been directed
toward developing wind measuring devices that eliminate
the need for moving parts. This thesis proposes a
method using amplitude modulated ultrasound to provide
greater ...
An automatic electronic speech teaching responder.
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-06)
A concept for an apparatus which visually displays and responds
to the first and second formant of vowel sounds is developed. The
machine is intended for use by deaf and speech handicapped children
in learning to produce ...
An Improved Gradient Algorithm For The Solution of Two-Point Boundary-Value Problems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-06)
The gradient method for solving two-point boundaryvalue
problems is discussed and a modification of the
gradient direction is proposed. An algorithm for
efficiently determining the step size is also derived.
Analytic ...
A facility for transient radiation effects experiments at the NPS linear accelerator
(1968-06)
Mechanical hardware has been developed that remotely places
integrated circuits, transistors, and other fixed components
into an electron beam in a manner which allows measurements of--
radiation effects. The associated ...
Linear amplifier design and linear integrated circuits
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968)
Through the utilization of the functional matrix description of linear
integrated circuits, a design method is evolved from which the
terminating admittances may be specified. These terminating admittances
are optimized ...
Investigation of small D.C. electromagnetic pumps
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1966-05)
A small, direct current electromagnetic conduction pump was
designed according to the equivalent circuit theory of A. H. Barnes.
Design was aided by data from a prototype also constructed by the
authors. Distinguishing ...
Microwave backscatter from a capped dielectric lens
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1966-03)
A specific application of a spherical dielectric lens provides
the impetus for the development of a simple analytical method of predicting
microwave backscatter from such a lens. The principles of
geometric optics and ...
