A Method for Skew-free Distribution of Digital Signals Using Matched Variable Delay LinesKnight, Thomas, Wu, Henry M. 01 March 1992 (has links)
The ability to distribute signals everywhere in a circuit with controlled and known delays is essential in large, high-speed digital systems. We present a technique by which a signal driver can adjust the arrival time of the signal at the end of the wire using a pair of matched variable delay lines. We show an implemention of this idea requiring no extra wiring, and how it can be extended to distribute signals skew-free to receivers along the signal run. We demonstrate how this scheme fits into the boundary scan logic of a VLSI chip.

Investigation of Skew on Differential High Speed LinksJi, Jie January 2008 (has links)
Skew in telecommunication normally means the difference in arrival time of bits transmitted at the same time in differential transmission. As an increasing of transmission data bit rate and more importantly, a data and clock signal rise time of become faster, digital system interconnects became behaving as transmission line. The high speed signals become microwave in nature. The problem is that modern digital designs and verifications require knowledge that has formerly not been needed for a data bit rate of below than 100Mbit but also at the higher frequency range as 5 to 15GHz, however, most references on the necessary subjects are too abstract to be immediately applicable to the skew. For this reason a new method to investigate the skew were introduced, and with which, test board were measured. Since the test boards are made in devise material, and lines on the boards are configured out in distinct structures. In this paper, several methods were applied to find out the skew, and by comparing the results, it could be found that how factors affect the skew, not only the material factor, but some manufactory reason.

Multivariate Skew-t Distributions in Econometrics and EnvironmetricsMarchenko, Yulia V. 2010 December 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is composed of three articles describing novel approaches for
analysis and modeling using multivariate skew-normal and skew-t distributions in
econometrics and environmetrics.
In the first article we introduce the Heckman selection-t model. Sample selection
arises often as a result of the partial observability of the outcome of interest in
a study. In the presence of sample selection, the observed data do not represent a
random sample from the population, even after controlling for explanatory variables.
Heckman introduced a sample-selection model to analyze such data and proposed a
full maximum likelihood estimation method under the assumption of normality. The
method was criticized in the literature because of its sensitivity to the normality assumption.
In practice, data, such as income or expenditure data, often violate the
normality assumption because of heavier tails. We first establish a new link between
sample-selection models and recently studied families of extended skew-elliptical distributions.
This then allows us to introduce a selection-t model, which models the
error distribution using a Student’s t distribution. We study its properties and investigate
the finite-sample performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for
this model. We compare the performance of the selection-t model to the Heckman
selection model and apply it to analyze ambulatory expenditures.
In the second article we introduce a family of multivariate log-skew-elliptical distributions,
extending the list of multivariate distributions with positive support. We
investigate their probabilistic properties such as stochastic representations, marginal
and conditional distributions, and existence of moments, as well as inferential properties.
We demonstrate, for example, that as for the log-t distribution, the positive
moments of the log-skew-t distribution do not exist. Our emphasis is on two special
cases, the log-skew-normal and log-skew-t distributions, which we use to analyze U.S.
precipitation data.
Many commonly used statistical methods assume that data are normally distributed.
This assumption is often violated in practice which prompted the development
of more flexible distributions. In the third article we describe two such multivariate
distributions, the skew-normal and the skew-t, and present commands for
fitting univariate and multivariate skew-normal and skew-t regressions in the statistical
software package Stata.

A Study on the Tooth Geometries of Gear Sets with Skew AxesYang, Yu-Feng 25 July 2001 (has links)
Presently, there are a lot of applications of gear sets with skew axes, some of them, especially worm gear sets and hypoid gear sets, are widely used. Take hypoid gear as example, gear sets produced by different gear factories can¡¦t fit to each other. Due to the lacking in common properties among different systems, it is disadvantageous to integrated application of development of gear researches. Therefore, a common mathematical constructive model is necessary to be established.
The main content of this thesis is to construct the mathematical parametric model and the partial differential constraint equation according to the rigid-body transformation theory and General Theorem of Conjugate Surfaces. After finding out the solution from the partial differential constraint equation, a new line-contacted type of tooth profile of gear sets with skew axes, quality analyses to the parameters of gear profile rendered are proceeded. Finally, utilize the software of motion simulation to simulate the operating situation of the linear contacted type of gear sets with skew axes constructed, and supply the demonstration of the theory of tooth profile of gear sets and properties of gear sets.

An Investigation of Distribution FunctionsSu, Nan-cheng 24 June 2008 (has links)
The study of properties of probability distributions has always been a persistent theme of statistics and of applied probability. This thesis deals with an investigation of distribution functions under the following two topics: (i) characterization of distributions based on record values and order statistics, (ii) properties of the skew-t distribution.
Within the extensive characterization literature there are several results involving properties of record values and order statistics. Although there have been many well known results already developed, it is still of great interest to find new characterization of distributions based on record values and order statistics. In the first part, we provide the conditional distribution of any record value given the maximum order statistics and study characterizations of distributions based on record values and the maximum order statistics. We also give some characterizations of the mean value function within the class of order statistics point processes, by using certain relations between the conditional moments of the jump times or current lives. These results can be applied to characterize the uniform distribution using the sequence of order statistics, and the exponential distribution using the sequence of record values, respectively.
Azzalini (1985, 1986) introduced the skew-normal distribution which includes the normal distribution and has some properties like the normal and yet is skew. This class of distributions is useful in studying robustness and for modeling skewness. Since then, skew-symmetric distributions have been proposed by many authors. In the second part, the so-called generalized skew-t distribution is defined and studied. Examples of distributions in this class, generated by the ratio of two independent skew-symmetric distributions, are given. We also investigate properties of the skew-symmetric distribution.

The Influence of a Skewed Disk on a Flexible Rotating ShaftWang, Xiaoqiang 20 January 1998 (has links)
This thesis describes the experimental test results and computer simulation investigations which were conducted to verify the existing theory of skewed disk forced response predictions. The experimental tests were conducted on a horizontal flexible shaft rotor system supported in two hydrodynamic journal bearings. The computer simulations were conducted with a program that uses a matrix transfer method to get the desired solution. The agreement between experiment and simulation is very good for most skewed disk response characteristics. The influence of measurement errors and operation condition uncertainties are discussed.In the first part of this study, the dynamic behavior of experimental investigations focused on two different skewed disk designs which were mounted at midspan, 1/3 span and 2/3 span of the shaft. The two skewed disks were designed to allow a fine angle adjustment of the desired skew angle. The two designs are (a) the angle tiltable disk and (b) the couple unbalanced mass disk. The experimental results are shown to be close to the theoretical predictions of other authors.In the second part of this study, an existing computer program was used to simulate the experimental test rotor. The results give excellent qualitative agreement although there are some differences in quantitative analysis comparisons. The forced response characteristics of the computer simulation match the experimental results. It has been shown that by using the approximate linear skewed disk model, it is possible to get similar results to the experimental tests for similar disk skew conditions. / Master of Science

A Study for Reducing Conflict Misses in Data CacheAmmari, Rami J 08 May 2004 (has links)
During the last two decades, the performance of CPU has been developed much faster than that of memory. In order to reduce the performance gap between CPU and memory, cache memories should have been used between CPU and memory. In general, cache memory is a small and fast buffer to reduce memory access time by saving data in advance before CPU uses. There are two types of cache memory: instruction cache and data cache. In addition, there can be multi-levels (Level 1, 2, ?etc) in memory hierarchy (memory and cache memories) for system purpose: the level 1 (on-chip) cache is the closest one to CPU and it affects system performance directly. In this study, we evaluated two factors in designing an efficient Level 1 data cache. Those factors are: distance between two data in an array and multi xor mapping functions in a bank. We designed a data cache called SLDC (Store/Load Dependent Cache, Two-way) to implement the first factor. This cache uses the distance between two data addresses of data-transfer instructions (load and store). It groups close data into the same group and places into the same bank. The other cache we designed for the second factor is called Multi-XOR (MXOR). The MXOR splits the cache virtually into several zones (2 to 6 areas); a different xor mapping function per area is used to index data (for better cache utilization). In this study, we used the SimpleScalar simulation program to implement data cache with SPEC2000FP benchmark programs. Based on the experiment results, we recommended considering those factors in designing an efficient cache memory since SLDC and MXOR show some improvement (5-to-10%) compared to a conventional cache memory (two-way set-associative).

On Skew-Constacyclic CodesFogarty, Neville Lyons 01 January 2016 (has links)
Cyclic codes are a well-known class of linear block codes with efficient decoding algorithms. In recent years they have been generalized to skew-constacyclic codes; such a generalization has previously been shown to be useful. We begin with a study of skew-polynomial rings so that we may examine these codes algebraically as quotient modules of non-commutative skew-polynomial rings. We introduce a skew-generalized circulant matrix to aid in examining skew-constacyclic codes, and we use it to recover a well-known result on the duals of skew-constacyclic codes from Boucher/Ulmer in 2011. We also motivate and develop a notion of idempotent elements in these quotient modules. We are particularly concerned with the existence and uniqueness of idempotents that generate a given submodule; we generalize relevant results from previous work on skew-constacyclic codes by Gao/Shen/Fu in 2013 and well-known results from the classical case.
