With the many advantages concrete offers and rising energy costs, there needs to be a way that existing and structurally sound, concrete buildings can be reused. This explored method for concrete reuse depends heavily on technological advances in the foreseeable future that allow for the process to be accomplished efficiently and for the material to be preserved for a longer period of time.

Show moreWith the progress of CMOS technology, there is a steady growth in clock frequency and chip capacity. As a result, the power dissipation of deeply scaled digital CMOS design has increased tremendously. On the other hand, low power VLSI designs are crucial in many areas, such as mobile phones. Furthermore, according the 2011 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), the trend towards high power consumption is far beyond the power requirement. As a result, power optimization techniques are highly appreciated in nowadays VLSI design. There are various low power methodologies from system level to layout level. In our research, we are focusing on low power techniques from register transfer level (RTL) to transistor level. Clock gating (CG) is the most widely used technique to reduce dynamic power at RTL. One of the traditional CG styles is XOR-based CG. It compares the inputs and outputs of flip-flops (FFs), and gated the FFs when they are the same. However, this CG is not effective since it does not take the signal activities into account. In this thesis, an activity-driven optimized bus specific clock gating (OBSC) is proposed. It uses finegrained RTL power models to estimate the dynamic power, and chooses only a subset of FFs to be gated selectively based on their switching activities. During the clock gated period, the gated FFs’ outputs are stable. As a result, the combinational logics which are completely dependent on these stable outputs can be power gated so as to save leakage power. Thus, CG and power gating (PG) can be integrated to reduce dynamic and leakage power simultaneously. The sleep signal of our PG is the CG enable signal which is generated during the CG implementation. It does not require an individual power management block to generate as in the case of traditional PG implementation. Moreover, in order to determine if PG leads to leakage power savings, minimum average idle time concept is proposed. Lastly, as a critical part in the integration of CG and PG, data retention logics (DRLs) are required to hold the values of the power gated logics’ outputs so that the non power gated blocks which depend on those outputs can function correctly during the power gated period. In this thesis, a low power DRL design is presented. All the above mentioned techniques have been applied to ISCAS’89 benchmark circuits, and their correctness has been verified successfully. Moreover, the whole experimental process is accomplished automatically by software program, so it is easy to be integrated into current EDA tools.

Title: MODELING GLUCOSE-INSULIN DYNAMICS AND AUTOMATED BLOOD GLUCOSE REGULATION IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES

Show moreEstimation of future glucose concentrations is a crucial task for diabetes management. Predicted glucose values can be used for early hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic alarms or for adjustment of insulin amount/rate. In the first part of this thesis, reliable subject-specific glucose concentration prediction models are developed using a patient’s continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. CGM technologies provide glucose readings at a high frequency and consequently detailed insight into a patient’s glucose variation. Time-series analyses are utilized to develop low-order linear models from a patient’s own CGM data. Glucose prediction models are integrated with recursive identification and change detection methods, which enable dynamical adaptation of the model to inter-/intra-subject variability and glycemic disturbances. Two separate patient data sets collected under hospitalized (disturbance-free) and normal daily life conditions are used to validate the univariate glucose prediction algorithm developed. Prediction performance is evaluated in terms of prediction error metrics and Clarke error grid analysis (CG-EGA). The long-term complications of diabetes can be reduced by controlling the blood glucose concentrations within normoglycemic limits. In the second part of this thesis, the subject-specific modeling algorithm developed in part one is integrated with a control algorithm for closing the glucose regulation loop for patients with type 1 diabetes. An adaptive control algorithm is developed to keep a patient’s glucose concentrations within normoglycemic range and dynamically respond to glycemic challenges with automated subcutaneous insulin infusion. A model-based control strategy is used to calculate the required insulin infusion rate, while the model parameters are recursively identified at each sampling step. The closed-loop algorithm is designed for the subcutaneous route for both glucose sensing and insulin delivery. xii It accounts for the slow insulin absorption from the adipose tissue and the time-delay between blood and subcutaneous glucose concentrations. The performance of the control algorithm developed is demonstrated on two simulated patient populations to provide effective blood glucose regulation in response to multiple meal challenges with a simultaneous challenge on a patient’s insulin sensitivity. Physical activity and emotional stimuli such as stress are known to have a significant effect on a patient’s whole-body fuel metabolism. In the third part of this thesis, the univariate time-series models developed from recent glucose concentration history are extended to include additional information on a patient’s physical and emotional condition. Physiological measurements from a multi-sensor body monitor are used to supplement a patient’s CGM data and develop multivariate glucose prediction models. The prediction performance of the multivariate algorithm developed is evaluated on data collected from patients with type 2 diabetes, and a real life implementation of the algorithm is demonstrated for early (i.e., 30 min in advance) hypoglycemia detection. Finally, the control algorithm developed in part two is extended to utilize the glucose profiles predicted by the multivariate patient model. The multivariate closedloop algorithm is tested with two clinical experiments performed on a patient with type 1 diabetes during a high intensity exercise followed by a carbohydrate-rich meal challenge. The algorithm acquires the patient’s CGM and armband (body monitor) data every 10 min, and accordingly calculates the required basal insulin infusion rate. Insulin is administered in a fully automated manner without any food or activity announcements (e.g., no information on meal/exercise size or time). None of the algorithms developed in this thesis require any patient specific tailoring or prior experimental data before implementation. They are also designed to function in a fully automated manner and do not require any disturbance announcexiii ments or manual inputs. Therefore, they are good candidates for installation on a portable ambulatory device used in a patient’s home environment for his/her diabetes management.
