High performance MPEG-audio decoder IC

The emerging digital audio and video compression technology brings both an opportunity and a new challenge to IC design. The pervasive application of compression technology to consumer electronics will require high volume, low cost IC's and fast time to market of the prototypes and production units. At the same time, the algorithms used in the compression technology result in complex VLSI IC's. The conflicting challenges of algorithm complexity, low cost, and fast time to market have an impact on device architecture and design methodology. The work presented in this paper is about the design of a dedicated, high precision, Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) audio decoder.

TP-H1148 knitline integrity evaluation

The main objective was to reevaluate the TP-H1148 propellant knitting capabilities due to minor changes in TP-H1148 raw materials and to test the effects of aging on the knitline and the bondline of the propellant to the liner (when epoxy primer was applied).
