In this work, transient scattering (transverse electric (TE) case) by two-dimensional cylinders, both open and closed, is investigated using the marching-on-in-time (MOT) technique. A simple averaging scheme is also presented to control the late-time oscillations. Numerical results are presented for certain representative geometries and compared with inverse Fourier transform techniques. Good comparison is noted in each case.

The variational aspects of secondary calculations based on a method of moments (MoM) solution are investigated. These calculations exhibit a type of second-order accuracy, regardless of whether or not the operator being discretized is self-adjoint, and regardless of whether or not testing functions are identical to the basis functions (Galerkin's method). Numerical results support these conclusions and suggest that the advantage of Galerkin's method in actual calculations is grossly overstated.

The properties and design of a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor are reviewed and its performance is compared with that of conventional MOS and metalized ceramic capacitors. The MOM structure is fabricated by growing a high-performance dielectric such as SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 on silicon and metalizing the dielectric with several mils of copper, after which the silicon "handle" is removed and replaced with copper. The MOM capacitor has the high capacitance density, low dielectric loss, and low temperature coefficient properties of thermally grown dielectrics. In addition, the resistive electrode loss is minimized by the replacement of the Iossy silicon with copper. The electrode loss for the MOS and MOM capacitors is evaluated as a function of frequency and is in good agreement with the loss estimated from the surface sheet resistance. The series resistance of an MOM capacitor is only 10 percent of that measured for a comparable MOS structure. MOM capacitors have been successfully soldered into circuits; these assemblies have been temperature cycled and high temperature stressed.

We present a new metal-oxide-metal device (Ni-NiO-Ni, "Edge MOM") which is stable, reproducibly fabricated, and with a 10 -10 -cm 2 tunneling area. Performing detection experiments, the device's nonlinear I-V characteristic is shown to be invariant at audio frequencies, 10.6, 3.39, and 0.6328 μm. Similar devices with 10 -8 -cm 2 tunneling areas perform as well as the Edge MOM's in the visible and the near-infrared range, but deteriorate in performance at the 10-μm range. A dominant competing effect is a thermal-induced signal, which increases with frequency and temperature. Coupling mechanisms at the various regimes are investigated. The device can serve as a broad-band detector and mixer, and might in the future be a basic element of broad-band amplifiers and oscillators.

A system for the automatic recognition of bilabial /m/ and alveolar /n/ in vowel-consonant-vowel utterances extracted from continuous speech is presented. It is based on a syntactic pattern recognition approach and the use of fuzzy relations for evaluating phonemic hypotheses. The knowledge source, based on very simple transition networks with associated simple semantic rules, is inferred from experiments. Results obtained for four male speakers are presented together with an acoustic-phonetic motivation of the approach used. These show how accounting for coarticulation effects gives substantially better performances than previous approaches.

The concept of feature selection in a nonparametric unsupervised learning environment is practically undeveloped because no true measure for the effectiveness of a feature exists in such an environment. The lack of a feature selection phase preceding the clustering process seriously affects the reliability of such learning. New concepts such as significant features, level of significance of features, and immediate neighborhood are introduced which result in meeting implicitly the need for feature slection in the context of clustering techniques.

The important new class of pipelined IIR filters, called Scattered Look-Ahead (SLA) filters, is analyzed for limit cycle behavior, including both overflow and quantization limit cycles. Direct Form (DF), Minimum RoundOff Noise (MRON) form and Apparent Direct Form (ADF) are selected as basis structures of SLA filters. The z-domain is extensively searched as a function of the number of pipelining stages for limit cycle free regions, which is transferred from analytic parameter space results. In consequence, the DF SLA structure is proved to have merits implementing high Q filters except at certain regions near the unit circle, where the structure is highly susceptible to RoundOff Noise (RON) and Coefficient Quantization Noise (CQN). DF and MRON based structures are compared for the purpose of reducing complexity or improving numerical performance.

The use of middleware to develop distributed applications liberates the programmer of the concerns (communication and coordination among software components) imposed by the distributed network environment. Besides these concerns, in wireless sensor networks are considered, also, their specific characteristics (address, mobility, amount and limited resources of the sensor nodes). This paper describes the implementation and performance evaluation of SensorBus, a message-oriented adaptive middleware for wireless sensor networks that uses policies to assist to the several characteristics of the wireless sensor networks. Policies are implemented in an application profile, through metadata, encoded in XML documents. Performance evaluation of SensorBus is made through their two main services: application and context. We used measurement techniques and simulation to carry out the experiments. Experiments show that using metadata to incorporate policies in the middleware does not imply undue overheads.

Simple and efficient numerical methods are developed for treating electromagnetic problems of scattering and radiation from surfaces. Special consideration is given to the treatment of edges so that rather arbitrary geometrical configurations may be handled. For the conducting body problems considered, an electric field integral formulation is used, and the method of moments is applied using pulse expansions to represent both the current and the charge. It is demonstrated that proper placement of the current and charge subdomains relative to edges not only is important in treating edges but also yields a convenient numerical procedure. A simple testing scheme is used which is almost as efficient as point-matching. Numerical results indicate that the approach is free of anomalies in the behavior of current near edges and of other previously observed numerical instabilities. Problems considered include conducting strips (both TM and TE), a bent rectangular plate, and both material and conducting bodies of revolution.
