Described in this paper is the use of problem-solving videos as an instructional aid for teaching an introductory engineering circuit analysis course. The instructor prepared step-by-step video solutions, with audio, of classroom examples, homework problems, and examination solutions. The videos were accessed through a Website; as a result, they were available to the students twenty four hour per day and seven days per week. Web usage statistics indicate that the students were using the videos extensively as they studied course materials. Student surveys indicate that they believe that the videos were improving their understanding of the course material.

Acoustic signals can be decomposed into the product of an envelope and its fine structure. The envelope features are critical to speech recognition. Results from human behavioral and psychophysical experiments indicate that magnetoencephalography (MEG) responses can significantly phase-lock to the temporal envelope of an auditory stimulus, and speech comprehension is correlated with this phase locking. The goal of this study is to explore the properties of neural response to the speech and stimuli with complex temporal envelopes. Five auditory stimuli with the same envelope, generated from natural speech, and the same stimuli but with the envelope artificially sped up were presented to two subjects. Auditory evoked responses were recorded with a whole-head 160-channel MEG system. Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and equivalent current dipole fitting were performed to separate and identify the neural sources (and artifacts). The result shows that the location, orientation, and strength of the neural sources are robust across all stimuli, with correlation between auditory responses and the temporal envelope of the stimuli. These results provide support for the premise that neurons in the auditory cortex are particularly sensitive to the envelope and can phase-lock to stimuli with complex temporal and spectrotemporal envelopes. © 2005 IEEE.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive neurophysiological technique with high temporal resolution. Nevertheless, low signal to noise ratio may hamper its fullest capability. Many confidence tests already exist to detect strong responses for signals corrupted by noise, and we have explored their use with experimentally obtained MEG signals. We find that the tests demonstrating the most power are the F-test and Rayleigh's phase coherence test. Due to the strongly non-Gaussian nature of the MEG noise, from both neural and external perspective, a signal which is purely noise often fails the marginal tests by exceeding the number of false positive allowed. A variation of the tests is suggested that ensures the average false positive for a large number of responses, excited at frequencies different than the frequency of interest, is below any desired threshold. This is implemented for the F-test, Rayleigh's phase coherence test, and the union of the two. © 2005 IEEE.

in this paper, we consider the problem of dynamically regulating the timing of traffic light controllers in busy cities. We use a Stochastic Fluid Model (SFM) to model the dynamics of the queues formed at an intersection. Based on this model, we derive gradients of the queue lengths with respect to the green/red light lengths within a signal cycle. We report preliminary numerical results comparing the performance of the estimates with finite-difference and smoothed perturbation analysis estimates. Then all estimators are used to optimize the traffic system via Stochastic Approximation. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.

Most edge detection algorithms include three main stages: smoothing, differentiation, and labeling. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of algorithms in which competitive learning is applied first to enhance edges, followed by an edge detector to locate the edges. In this way, more detailed and relatively more unbroken edges can be found as compared to the results when an edge detector is applied alone. The algorithms compared are K-Means, SOM and SOGR for clustering, and Canny and GED for edge detection. Perceptionally, best results were obtained with the GED-SOGR algorithm. The SOGR is also considerably simpler and faster than the SOM algorithm.

In addition to global positioning applications, GPS has been widely used for time and frequency transfer. A GPS software receiver developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base only has positioning capability, although information needed for the timing and frequency applications are already embedded in the software routines for position applications. This paper presents approaches and methods developed to extract the embedded information so that time and frequency can be accessed explicitly. Specifically, we implement GPS time tag at each output data point generated by the software tracking routine. One possible application of this work is to synchronize different GPS receivers using a common GPS reference time. The paper will discuss the relationship among several important timing quantities including the receiver bias time, GPS signal propagation time from a satellite to a from a receiver antenna to the A/D converter of the receiver front end. An analysis of the positioning solution error due to the A/D sampling frequency deviation from its nominal value is also presented, followed by the description of a software approach to calibrate the sampling frequency deviation. Two different GPS receiver front ends are used in this study to experimentally demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the time and frequency transfer functions. The nominal sampling frequencies for the two receiver front ends are 5 MHz and 5.456 MHz respectively. Using the software approach described in this paper, the sampling frequencies are calibrated to have deviations of-12 and -353 Hz, respectively, from their nominal values. For both receivers, the self-consistency tests of a single receiver using different satellites as the reference satellite were performed to evaluate the time tags precision. The self-consistent tests show that there is less than one nanosecond of time difference between the corresponding GPS time tags obtained for different refe

The stringent requirements on size and power consumption constrain the conventional hearing aid devices from providing the patients an economic and user friendly solution, specifically for better noise cancellation. With the advancements in technologies such as integrated circuits design, wireless communications and digital signal processing techniques, the wireless hearing aids having multi-microphones, analog, digital and mixed signals and radio frequency signals processing circuits, DSP and programmable units seem to be promising to provide enhanced performance. The focus of this paper is about the system simulation of a typical wireless hearing aid using Agilent Advanced Design System™. The behavioral modeling features are exploited to enable the whole system simulations including electro-acoustic transducers. A few system level simulation results are included. © 2005 IEEE.

Semi-analytical models are used to simulate the response of periodic-field electro quasistatic dielectrometry sensors. Due to the periodic structure of the sensors it is possible to use Fourier series methods in combination with collocation point numerical techniques to generate accurate sensor simulations much more efficiently than with the more general finite-element methods. Previously, collocation-point models used to compute the response of periodic field dielectric sensors, also known as Interdigitated Electrode Dielectrometers (IDED), have ignored the contribution of the constant (zero-order) term in the Fourier series expansion of the physical quantities. This is justifiable if the top dielectric material layer under test is infinitely thick, with any top ground plane bounding the dielectric removed too far from the sensor to influence its response. This is the assumption generally made until now in the application of these models. In practice, however, it is impossible to eliminate the cumulative effect of objects at ground potential in the vicinity of the sensor, which in general manifests itself as a ground plane electrode positioned at some effective distance within the top dielectric layer (usually air). In order to eliminate this source of uncertainty in the measurements, we suggest that a grounded electrode be explicitly placed at the top of the dielectric layer in the experimental setup, and its presence be accounted for in the models. Furthermore, in many cases, such as measurements on ceramic thermal barrier coatings, a metal layer is already present behind the material under test. In this paper we present how the models must be modified to account for this ground plane, and what effect it has on the dependence of the sensor response on the material properties. For example, the sensor transcapacitance may no longer be a monotonically increasing function of the material's permittivity, leading to nonuniqueness in permittivity measurements, as some f

A study of thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) field emitters in a triode amplifier configuration is reported. The CNT transistor characteristics were examined by integrating gate and anode with CNT cathode in two structural forms, utilizing a TEM grid (transmission electron microscope specimen holder) as the gate electrode and a micropatterned CNT with self-aligned gate. The TEM-grid CNT triode displayed clearly gate-controlled current modulation behavior with distinct cutoff, linear, and saturation regions, and a reasonable gate turn-on field of ∼5.4V∕μm despite a large cathode-gate spacing of ∼120μm . The field emission result established the basic transistor characteristics of CNTs in a triode configuration. A CNT triode construct with a self-aligned gated fabrication technique was also developed to realize a monolithic triode structure with shorter gate-cathode spacing, lowering gate voltage, and enhancing emission current. The triode exhibited a significantly lower gate turn-on voltage of ∼40V , and gate-controlled modulation of the emission current. An anode current density of ∼30mA∕cm2 was achieved at a gate voltage of ∼80V and an anode voltage of ∼200V . The dc characteristics for both of the CNT triodes were investigated, including Ia versus Va for different Vg . Moreover, dc parameters such as transconductance, amplification factors, and anode resistance of the triode amplifier were determined. The CNT triodes exhibited useful amplification factor and high output impedance.

In this paper, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes field emission devices were fabricated from the as grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by furnace thermal CVD at atmospheric pressure. The device was tested in vacuum (/spl sim/10/sup -6/ torr) for field emission characterization. The turn-on field was about 3 V//spl mu/m, which is comparable to data reported elsewhere.
