Show moreAs VLSI technology advances to deep sub-micron regime, power consumption has become a critical concern in VLSI circuits. Therefore, power optimization becomes mandatory in VLSI design nowadays. To reduce the power consumption, many techniques have been proposed at various levels of VLSI circuits design: system level, register-transfer level(RTL), and circuit/transistor level. This dissertation starts with a review of system level power optimization techniques. Experiments on a computer architecture simulation system have been conducted to compare the impact of different programming styles at system level on power consumption. The results could be used as an intuitive guidance for programmers with intention for implementing power-aware system. The second topic in this dissertation is a clustering based clock gating technique, targeting power reduction at RT-Level. Clock gating is an effective and popular method to reduce dynamic power in VLSI circuits, it can be applied at both RT-level and gate level. The basic idea of clock gating is to disable the clock of one or more sequential logics (majorly flip-flops) when the input data of the logic cells do not change. In this dissertation, a clustering based clock gating technique is proposed, the technique exploits activity information of each flip-flop, and clusters them into groups according to their activity correlations. As the leakage power has become a major concern in VLSI design, the proposed As the leakage power has become a major concern in VLSI design, the proposed clustering method is extended down to gate level and a clustering based hybrid clock gating and power gating technique is proposed. The technique can reduce both the dynamic power and leakage power in VLSI circuits. As process technology scaling down to deep submicron regime, bulk CMOS technology has encountered many challenges due to short channel effect (SCE), which degrades the reliability and feasibility of MOSFET devices. New technologies such as FinFET and carbon nanotube FET (CNFET) are two promising substitute solutions in the following decade to address SCE issue. Part of this dissertation presents circuit design using these new process technologies for low power VLSI circuits. More specifically, two SRAM cell designs using FinFET and CNFET devices are proposed. The new designs can improve performance while reduce power consumption.

Show moreRailroad tank cars are efficient vehicles for the transport of large quantities of liquid commodities in North America. These commodities include foodstuffs as well as a wide range of chemicals use in the process industries. Transport Canada and the U.S. Department of Transportation collaborate in the formulation of rules and regulations for the transportation of hazardous commodities. While the incidence of non-accident release (NARs) is very small there is nevertheless a further collaborative effort by shippers and car owners alike to reduce the incidence of NARs to zero. One approach in reducing NARs is to develop a means to identify small leaks immediately, while the vehicle is in transit. The IPRO team will identify and evaluate methods for detecting small leaks using car mounted sensors and alerting the shipper of the leak automatically form remote locations. This includes consideration of how to mount sensors and telemetry devices, log data, predict unacceptable trends and incidents, and report them in a timely, reliable and cost-effective fashion. The technologies involved in the development of such a system would include characterization of target chemicals, sensors and date transmission, mounting to the tank car, evaluation of the econ0omic viability of the concepts, and identification of potential legal implications.

Show moreThe effect of natural aging (NA) on mechanical properties in double aged aluminum alloys, AA7075, was studied by means of hardness tests, tensile tests and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) tests. Natural aging can strengthen AA7075 alloys after solution heat treatment, and reaching the stable condition can take years for the alloy. Double aging (DA) is very beneficial method in terms of energy savings and productivity because this method provides the peak hardness in a much shorter time compared to single aging, and DA treatment produces hardness, yield stress and tensile stress which are comparable with those produced by SA. In this study, the alloys were naturally aged for different times before double aging treatment, and the relationship between double aging treatment and natural aging treatment was observed. The results show that different natural aging times do not significantly affect the final mechanical properties of double aged alloys. Consequently, the loading time to aging furnace after solution heat treatment does not play an important role in the double aging treatment of AA7075 alloys.

Providing real time feedback at the point of decision making will enhance consumer awareness of energy consumption, and potentially lead to behavior modification. The IPRO 334 team will design and evaluate means of improving energy consumption awareness in the home. Team 334 will determine what metrics are most valuable to consumers and the best means to communicate that feedback.

Show moreAn on-chip inductor device for Integrated Circuits utilizes coils on a plurality of metal layers of the IC with electrical connectors between the coils and a magnetic core for the inductor of stacked vias running between the coils. The magnetic core is made from a series of stacked vias which are deposited between each metal layer of the IC having a coil. The magnetic core desirably includes an array of magnetic bars comprising the magnetic core. The via material of the magnetic core may be both magnetic and electrically conductive. The magnetic and electrically conductive via material may also be used for the planar coil electrical connectors or other electrically conductive parts of the IC, or both, thereby lessening fabrication steps. Films of magnetic material may be formed at the ends of the inductor to provide a closed magnetic circuit for the inductor. A high Q factor inductor of small (e.g., transistor) size is thus obtained. The materials and processes which enable the on-chip inductor device are compatible with ordinary IC fabrication methods.

Show moreThe Swyne Project‟s objective is to extend the capabilities of the semantic search engine developed in the previous semester of this particular IPRO project. Proposed extensions include the ability to search for “entities” (e.g., people) and their relationships to other entities in a fact database and implementing user interface support for the extensions. Another goal of the Swyne Project is to work on our collective soft skills. These include, but are not limited to, interpersonal communications, presentations, management functions, and time management. These skills are all critical to not only a successful project, but also a successful career outside of college. Our search engine will hopefully be an inspiration to others who are interested in working on a semantic search engine in the future and expanding upon our results.
