Programmable surfaces
… In contrast I present a study of a dynamic, programmable interface between the surface and its surrounding fluids. This research explores a synthetic hydrodynamic regime, using a programmable surface to dynamically alter the flow around an object. Recent advances in distributed computing and …

Programmable electrohydraulic valve
… the internal pressure measurements from the programmable valve could be used to calculate a flow through any of the cartridge valves, thus eliminating the need for external feedback devices in the hydraulic system: a ""smart"" valve. Hardware limitations in the prototype prevented successful …

Programmable stochastic processors
… of stochastic computing in the context of programmable general purpose processors. Specifically, the dissertation describes design-level techniques that minimize the power of a processor for a non-zero error rate or allow a processor to fail gracefully when operated over a range of non-zero …

Voltage programmable materials
The physical and chemical properties of nanoscale materials derive largely from structure and composition at interfaces. The possibility to electrically modify these interfacial characteristics would provide a powerful means to control material properties. Of particular recent scientific and …

Transistor-Level Programmable Fabric
… a target digital circuit. This TRAnsistor-level Programmable (TRAP) fabric allows simultaneous storage of four independent configurations, along with the ability to dynamically switch between them in a small fraction of a clock cycle. We term this board-level virtualization in that each …

Design of programmable matter
Programmable matter is a proposed digital material having computation, sensing, actuation, and display as continuous properties active over its whole extent. Programmable matter would have many exciting applications, like paintable displays, shape-changing robots and tools, rapid prototyping, and …

Digitally controlled "programmable" active filters
In this research a general purpose digitally controlled analog filter is presented. The novel design is a cascade of second order sections that are individually programmed to achieve any filtering topologies. Two-binary words are used to control the pole frequency co p and selectivity Qp of each …

Speech recognition in programmable logic
… of the recognition process is implemented in programmable logic, specifically, on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Relevant background material about speech recognition is presented, along with a critical review of previous hardware implementations. Designs for a decoder suitable for …

Voltage programmable diffraction grating device
In this research, voltage programmable liquid device has been introduced, studied and a relationship was verified for the electromagnetic relationship between the parameters of the device and the switching application was characterised. The basic operation of the device is to create sinusoidal …

Voltage programmable liquid optical devices
… this study I have looked at two types of voltage programmable liquid optical device. The first is a rotatable liquid crystal waveplate and the second is an amplitude programmable liquid phase grating. The rotatable waveplate was created by confining a droplet of E7 nematic liquid crystal between …

Making non-volatile memory programmable
… new software and hardware support that make NVM programmable. From the software side, this thesis proposes a new NVM programming model which relieves the programmer from performing much of the accounting work in persistent applications, instead relying on the runtime to perform error-prone tasks. …

Designing fast and programmable routers
… in this queue. Third, we develop a system for programmable and scalable measurement of network statistics. Our goal is to allow programmers to flexibly define what they want to measure for each flow and scale to a large number of flows. We formalize a class of statistics that permit a scalable …

Sixteen-pole programmable synchronous switch
… switch using a 16 bit microprocessor to provide programmable control on both the opening and closing times for each of the 16 poles of the switch. The user can define a sequence of states (short circuit and open circuit) for each of the 16-poles with control on a) The instant of shorting. b) The …

Robust Sketch Orchestration in Programmable Networks
… approach for coordinated sketch placement on programmable network devices, such as switches and SmartNICs, without relying on the fixed traffic rate assumption. Instead, we consider scenarios where only statistical information about traffic rates, such as their means and variances, is …
