A Compact Thermal Model (CTM) is proposed to represent the package as a network of nodes. The discrete models resulting from, for example, the finite element method (FEM) are usually very large. In order to handle this size of full models, the CTM is condensed using Static Matrix Condensation methodology where the system matrices obtained by the spatial discretization of heat transfer partial differential equation (PDE) are reduced by condensing the heat sources, surface nodes and internal nodes. This method reduces the complexity and at the same time preserves the accuracy of the model.","PeriodicalId":215400,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127093780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we discuss the design of reconfigurable wavelet filters for image processing applications that can meet such dynamic requirements. We generate several efficient hardware designs based on a derived family of bi-orthogonal 9/7 filters. An efficient folded and multiplier-free implementation of a 9/7 filter is obtained with the help of nine adders, which is a significant improvement over other existing approaches. We also propose an architecture that allows for on-the-fly switching between 9/7 and 5/3 filter structures. A performance comparison of these filters and their hardware requirements with other existing approaches demonstrates the suitability of our choice.","PeriodicalId":215400,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology","volume":"32 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113934791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the thickness of the amorphous layer is critical in determining the transport properties of the device and that the optimum thickness varies with the nanocrystalline silicon layer thickness. The second design involves the use of high growth temperatures to enhance the grain size. We show that by increasing the grain size, we can attain good device properties, if the intrinsic layer is subjected to post deposition hydrogen anneal while rapidly cooling down. Also we are able to obtain an enhanced response in the infrared quantum efficiency.","PeriodicalId":215400,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131625870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to lack of recently published scholarly article that test the performance of proxy server, we carry out an in-depth study of the behavior of a proxy server over a six month period. The result of the study showed that hit ratios of the proxy servers range between 21% to 39% and over 70% of web pages are dynamic. The study indicates the effectiveness of the proxy server and helps evaluate the tradeoff between money spent on higher bandwidth lower latency connections, versus the cost/performance of using a caching intermediary.","PeriodicalId":215400,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123650216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models are tested with noisy wavelet test data sets and speech/wave files. Furthermore, a model based design of adaptive noise cancellation based on LMS filter using Simulink is implemented on TI C6713. The profile statistics of the auto-code generated by the Real Time Workshop for the Simulink model of LMS filter is compared with the dasiaCpsila implementation of LMS filter on C6713 in terms of code length and computation time. The signal to noise ratio of the filtered signal using improved adaptive Wiener filter improves by 2.5 to 4 dB as compared to Leepsilas adaptive Wiener filter.
