Digital filters play a key role in many DSP applications and FIR filters are usually selected because of their simplicity and stability against IIR filters.In this thesis eight architectures for multi-stream FIR filtering are studied. Primarily, three kinds of architectures are implemented and evaluated: one-toone mapping, time-multiplexed and pipeline interleaving. During implementation, practical considerations are taken into account such as implementation approach and number representation. Of interest is to see the performance comparison of different architectures, including area and power. The trade-off between area and power is an attractive topic for this work. Furthermore, the impact of the filter order and pipeline interleaving are studied.The result shows that the performance of different architectures differ a lot even with the same sample rate for each stream. It also shows that the performance of different architectures are affected by the filter order differently. Pipeline interleaving improves area utilization at the cost of rapid increment of power. Moreover, it has negative impact on the maximum working frequency.All the FIR filter architectures are synthesized in a 65nm technology.

[pt] Apresenta-se um estudo de avaliação dos critérios e métodos que são empregados atualmente na análise e projeto dos sistemas de tubulação nas usinas nucleares assim como a verificação da aplicação de alguns dos novos critérios apresentados pela comunidade técnico-científica internacional, dentro do método de análise modal-espectral. Estudam-se os tópicos da interação entre o sistema de tubulação e a estrutura que o suporta mediante o uso de espectros acoplados, a consideração do efeito do deslocamento relativo dos apoios da tubulação, usando-se espectros que o consideram ou uma excitação espectral múltipla, a introdução da combinação dos máximos modais dependendo da posição relativa das suas freqüências e a inclusão da resposta espectral correspondente aos modos de alta freqüência ou modos rígidos. A ferramenta básica de análise é constituída pelo programa computacional ANSYS. A avaliação é feita sobre parâmetros de esforços internos em trechos de um modelo de um sistema real de tubulações da usina nuclear brasileira, Angra 3. Os padrões são obtidos por análises no tempo de cada modelo sob o acelerograma de projeto. Conclusões são apresentadas sobre as atitudes mais convenientes para a atual conjuntura brasileira de projeto. / [en] The main concern of this work is with the application of the modal spectral seismic analysis to secondary structural systems of nuclear power plants, with the large amount of conservatism which is included in them, and, of course, with the consequences to the particular case of the plants under construction in Brazil. One considers the design analysis methods which have been used so far in Brazil, as well as the most recent developments in the area, in USA and in Europe, to conclude about the adequacy of those procedures and recommend eventual changes to them. One then studies the subjects of the coupling effect between the primary and secondary system responses, the influence of the piping support relative displacements, the contribution of the cross-correlation among response modal components and the participation in the overall response of the so-called rigid modes. The main computer program aid is taken from an ANSYS-2 version and one uses a reduced model of a piping system as the secondary system and a 3-D beam element model of a reactor building as the primary system. The spectral analysis results are compared to time domain solutions using the same structural models excited by a design accelerogram. Conclusions and recommendations are oriented to the present design practice in Brazil. / [es] En esta tesis se presenta un estudio de evaluación de los criterios y métodos que se emplean actualmente en el análisis y proyecto de los sistemas de tubulación en las plantas nucleares así como la verificación de la aplicación de algunos de los nuevos criterios presentados por la comunidad técnico-científica internacional, dentro del método de análisis modal-espectral.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNets), consisting of a lot of Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSNs), play an important role in structural health and machine condition monitoring. But the WSNs provided by the current market cannot meet the diversity of application requirements because they have limited functions, unreliable node performance, high node cost, high system redundancy, and short node lifespan. The aim of the research is to design the architecture of a WSN with low power consumption and node cost, which can be dynamically configured according to application requirements for structural health and machine condition monitoring. This research investigates the improvement of node performance and reliability through the new design methodologies and the extension of node lifespan by interfacing energy harvesters and implementing node power management. The main contributions of the research are presented from the following aspects:1. Model development of node architecture for application diversityThe merits of model include: (1) The proposed node architecture can be dynamically configured in terms of application requirements for reducing system redundancy, power consumption and cost; (2) It supports multichannel signal measurement with the synchronous and asynchronous signal sampling modules and three interface circuits; (3)The model parameters can be calculated; (4) As the model is based on discrete electronic components, it can be implemented by using Components-Off-The-Shelf (COTS).2. A novel pipeline design of the built-in ADC inside a microprocessorThe merit of proposed pipeline solution lies in that the sampling time of the built-in ADCs is reduced to one third of the original value, when the ADC operates in sequence sampling mode based on multichannel signal measurement.3. Self-adjusting measurement of sampled signal amplitude This work provides a novel method to avoid the distortion of sampled signals even though the environmental signal changes randomly and over the sampling range of the node ADC. The proposed method can be implemented with four different solutions.4. Interface design to support energy harvesting The proposed interface will allow to: (1) collect the paroxysmal ambient energy as more as possible; (2) store energy to a distribution super-capacitor array; (3) harvest electrical energy at high voltage using piezoelectric materials without any transformer; (4) support the diversity of energy transducers; and (5) perform with high conversion efficiency.5. A new network task scheduling model for node wireless transceiver The model allows to: (1) calculate node power consumption according to network task scheduling; (2) obtain the optimal policy for scheduling network task.6. A new work-flow model for a WSN The model provides an easy way to (1) calculate node power consumption according to the work flow inside a WSN; (2) take fully advantage of the power modes of node electronic components rather than outside factors; (3) improve effectively node design.

This work is focused on computational modelling of mixing fluids in pipeline with static mixers. Main objective is to analyze several selected static mixers in a particular industrial application, namely dosing of the aluminium sulphate solution in the clarification process for potable water treatment. The analysis focuses on the degree of mixedness and pressure loss of individual mixers. Further, the aim of this work is to process the search of available types of static mixers. The benefit of this work is at least an effort to motivate the reader to deeper understanding of the mixing fluids, especially by static mixers.

Basic methodology that exploits instruction level parallelism is called pipelining and it is part of every processor for decades. The ideal pipeline increases performance and efficiency for a relatively small cost. But the real pipeline has number of limitations caused by dependencies and hazards between instructions. The aim of this thesis is to discuss techniques used to improve efficency and performance of pipelined processors, to implement selected techniques to a RISC processor model and discuss its benefits.
