Dynamic analysis of waveguide structures containing dielectric and metal strips is presented. The analysis utilizes a finite difference frequency domain procedure to reduce the problem to a symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem. Since the matrix is also sparse, the eigenvalue problem can be solved quickly and efficiently using the conjugate gradient method resulting in considerable savings in computer storage and time. Comparison is made with the analytical solution for the loaded dielectric waveguide case. For the microstrip case, we get both waveguide modes and quasi-TEM modes. The quasi-TEM modes in the limit of zero frequency are checked with the static analysis which also uses finite difference. Some of the quasi-TEM modes are spurious. This article describes their origin and discusses how to eliminate them. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the principles.

Magnetohydrodynamic propulsion systems for submarines offer several significant advantages over conventional propeller propulsion systems. These advantages include the potential for greater stealth characteristics, increased maneuverability, enhanced survivability, elimination of cavitation limits, greater payload capability, and the addition of a significant emergency propulsion system. These advantages can be obtained with a magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system that is neutrally bouyant and can operate with the existing submarine propulsion system power plant. A thorough investigation of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion systems for submarine applications has been completed. During the investigation, a number of geometric configurations were examined. Each of these configurations and mounting concepts was optimized for maximum performance for a generic attack class submarine. The optimization considered each thruster individually by determining the optimum operating characteristics for each one and accepting only those thrusters that result in a neutrally buoyant propulsion system. The results of this detailed optimization study show that the segmented, annular thruster is the concept with the highest performance levels and greatest efficiency and offers the greatest potential for a practical magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system for attack class submarines. The optimization study results were used to develop a specific point design for a segmented, annular magnetohydrodynamic thruster for an attack class submarine. The design point case has shown that this thruster may be able to provide the necessary thrust to propel an attack class submarine at the required velocity with the potential for a substantial acoustic signature reduction within the constraints of the existing submarine power plant and the maintenance of neutral buoyancy. This innovative magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system offers an approach for submarine propulsion that can be an important contributio

VLSI technology has created the opportunity for designers to develop special-purpose application-specific architectures based on associative processing techniques. However the diversity of these applications creates a need for a generalized methodology to quickly produce high-capacity associative chips with different functionalities. The paper introduces such a scheme for designing special-purpose content-addressable memories (CAMs). An overall CAM organization suitable for most special-purpose associative chips is presented and the design, layout, and performance of its modular components is discussed. An example CAM is examined to show the performance and area efficiency of CAMs designed using the proposed scheme. The paper also introduces an improved, highly compact theta -search associative cell. Finally, the testing of CAMs using this organization is discussed.< >

A computer model of the interaction between heart and artificial pacemaker is developed which simulates a variety of dual-chamber device responses in the context of 25 possible arrhythmia classes. The heart-pacemaker interaction (HPI) model includes specifications of cardiac, pacemaker, and noise distribution parameters which permit random simulation of pacemaker failure. It simulates random pacemaker output, capture, and sensing malfunctions. The model has been used to train an automated, knowledge-based algorithm designed to analyze paced electrocardiograms for pacemaker function and malfunction. By allowing the straightforward simulation of numerous arrhythmia/pacemaker failure scenarios, the model has significantly reduced the amount of clinical testing and therefore the development time otherwise required.< >

An analysis is presented of polyimides (PIs) exposed to heat and humidity stress over long periods. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to investigate the basic physical mechanisms that affect PI when stressed. The results show that changes are confined to a surface layer at the PI-air interface. ESCA data show significant changes at the PI-air interface and that the PI-Si interface remains unchanged. FTIR transmission data indicate that the bulk chemistry is unaffected by such exposure. The surface chemistry is characterized by a significant reduction in the pyromellitic dyanhydride (PMDA) moiety and changes in the bonding of oxygen. There appear to be changes in the imide structure for the PI surface, but the mechanisms of change require further study. This has reliability implications for microelectronic systems using PI as a dielectric.< >
