Problems in the design and operation of uncertain complex engineering systems
(2011)
In this dissertation, we consider two problems. The first one is a general approach to the optimal design of uncertain dynamical systems, where the uncertainty is represented by a random parameter. The problem is formulated ...
Self-Packaged and Low-Loss Suspended Integrated Stripline Filters for Next Generation Systems
(2018-08-02)
The method in which the frequency spectrum is currently allocated is unsustainable. An increasing number of devices are becoming wireless, overcrowding an already crowded spectrum (e.g., the ISM band). Therefore, future ...
Real-time 3-D Scene Reconstruction
(2016-05)
This dissertation describes a complete system that captures image data from multiple stereoscopic camera pairs and reconstructs a 3-D model of the imaged scene in real-time. To achieve real-time rates, the system is organized ...
GAIT PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL OF A PROSTHETIC ANKLE JOINT FOR BELOW-KNEE AMPUTEES
(2015)
Traumatic events such as accidents or vascular and circulatory disorders often lead to amputation of the lower limb below the knee joint. The surgery is followed by fitting of a prosthetic device and rehabilitation process ...
Digital Signal Processor Based Real-Time Phased Array Radar Backend System and Optimization Algorithms
(2017-12)
This dissertation presents an implementation of multifunctional large-scale phased array radar based on the scalable DSP platform.
The challenge of building large-scale phased array radar backend is how to address the ...
Video CODEC with adaptive frame rate control for intelligent transportation system applications
(2014-05)
Video cameras are one of the important types of devices in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The camera images are practical, widely deployable and beneficial for traffic management and congestion control. The ...
SCALABLE MICROCRYSTAL MEDIUM FOR STATIC 3D DISPLAY
(2012)
Efficient up-conversion emitters are necessary to generate full color 3D display. Rare-earth, co-doped fluorides that convert diode laser light from near infrared to visible red, green, and blue light by sequential two ...
New Implication of Short Circuit Analysis in Assessing Impact of Renewable Energy Resources on System Strength of a Power Grid
(2017-08-01)
The increasing penetration of renewable resources raised a new challenge in power system planning and operation to maintain system reliability. Several serious operational issues may take place when significant amount of ...
NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR NONPARAMETRIC SCENE MODELS
(2012)
Scene model based segmentation of video into foreground and background structure has long been an important and ongoing research topic in image processing and computer vision. Segmentation of complex video scenes into ...
Analysis and Design of Reflectarray Antennas for Radar System Applications
(2014)
In recent years reflectarray has received more and more attention and it has been considered as a suitable candidate to replace the traditional reflectors due to its
high-gain, low profile and low cost features. Reflectarray ...
