Indoor Localization and Mapping Using Deep Learning Networks
(2017)
Over the past several decades, robots have been used extensively in environments that pose high risk to human operators and in jobs that are repetitive and monotonous. In recent years, robot autonomy has been exploited to ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...
EMPIRICAL TRANSITION PROBABILITY INDEXING GENOME SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT BASED ON CUDA
(2016-05)
After Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) was discovered, finding the similarities in proteins became a fundamental procedure. In recent years, there has been a rapid development in alignment technologies. Alignment is the basic ...
Learning Assisted Decoupled Software Pipelining (LA-DSWP)
(2018-05)
In this thesis, I introduce and implement an extension to the Decoupled Software Pipelining (DSWP) algorithm proposed by Rangan et al. This new extension is named Learning Assisted Decoupled Software Pipelining (or LA-DSWP) ...
DIAMOND AND PARYLENE COMPOSITE BONDING: A POWERFUL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC THIN FILM DEVICE FABRICATION
(2016-05-13)
A new and powerful method for electronic device fabrication is presented. A diamond and parylene composite thin film layer bonding process is described. Two sizes of diamond particles, nominally 0~0.5µm and 0~2µm were used ...
Investigation of a Frequency and Pattern Reconfigurable Slot Array Utilizing Ring Resonator End Loads
(2017-12)
Fixed-bandwidth wireless systems are forced to operate in preallocated blocks of frequencies, often wasting valuable spectrum. Whereas, systems with reconfigurable antennas that can tune resonant frequency, polarization, ...
IMPROVING PRODUCT DESIGN TOLERANCES USING METR-ONTOLOGY
(2018-05)
It is important to know the dimensions, material composition, manufacturing processes, product performance history, and inspection methodology while designing products and selecting manufacturing processes. This information ...
A SIMPLE EM DIPOLE RADIATING ELEMENT FOR DUAL-POLARIZED PHASED ARRAY WEATHER RADARS
(2016-05-13)
The Dual Polarized radiating element is a critical component in the Multi-function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) System. This thesis studies a new type of dual polarized radiating element based on the Electro-Magnetic (EM) ...
LOW-COST, SOFTWARE DEFINED FMCW RADAR FOR OBSERVATIONS OF DRONES
(2017-05-12)
This thesis focuses on implementing a small, low-cost, Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar sensor using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms. Extensive investigation and comparisons of existing SDRs are ...
Ruggedized Feeding Techniques for Placement Insensitive Antennas
(2018-08-02)
Today's warfighter relies on extensive wireless technology to stay connected to allied forces and the battle theater. Communication equipment, IFF (identification friend-or-foe) identifiers, global positioning systems, ...
