Auto-focus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) are key features in consumer level digital and cell-phone cameras allowing users to focus automatically and set the exposure automatically. AF provides automatic focusing in order to get sharp images with no user intervention. AE is also a …
Cranes are used worldwide for transportation and material handling in a variety of industries and facilities, including manufacturing industries, shipyards, and warehouses. Safety and efficiency in crane operations are a concern, since these issues are closely related to product…
Modal analysis together with finite element method (FEM) has evolved as a key technology in dynamic characterization of structures. The traditional modal analysis, known as Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA), identifies a modal model from the measured input forces applied to the …
With the advances of storage technology both personal and corporate data are becoming more vulnerable and prone to loss. Data theft is becoming the biggest challenge for homes and corporate businesses. Although outsiders are the main culprits for data leakage and information the…
Economic and social impact of online social media have inspired a broad range of studies on the user behaviors and the improvement of the quality of user relationships, which are the keys to effective propagation of knowledge and information. However, these studies were constrai…
We describe a set of fundamental contributions to the design, analysis and implementation of distributed MIMO techniques in wireless networks. The main idea behind distributed MIMO is to organize groups of wireless transmitters and receivers into distributed antenna arrays to co…
Quasi one-dimensional (1-D) field-effect transistors (FET), such as Si nanowire FETs (Si NW-FETs), have shown promise for more aggressive channel length scaling, better electrostatic gate control, higher integration densities and low-power applications. At the same time, an accu…
To assist or rehabilitate individuals with impaired upper-limb function, we have developed an upper-limb exoskeleton robot, the ETS-MARSE ( motion assistive robotic-exoskeleton for superior extremity). The MARSE is comprised of a shoulder motion support part, an elbow and forear…
Software defects are expensive, costing the US economy 60 billion annually [1]. However, quality control techniques are expensive and are further constrained by the availability of resources. Therefore, a large body of research focuses on efficient quality control activities. De…
Smart grid is the modernization of the legacy electric power system in which cyber computing and communications are integrated with the physical world of power systems. A smart grid provides efficient and cost-effective management of the grid by allowing real-time monitoring, co…
DC-Link Capacitor used in power converters as an energy buffer is one of the key components of aircraft Power and Thermal Management Controller (PTMC). Several factors in order to reduce the cost of the PTMC have been identified including the integration of the DC-link capacitor…
Inflexible institutional learning facilities pose many barriers in the developing world's student. Bangladesh is one of them. This problem is particularly acute in rural and remote areas where environmental and infrastructure challenges hinder other learning modalities, more spe…
The purpose of this research is to use Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique for resource leveling of construction projects. Two different precedence-preserving crossover and mutation operators from the literature will be employed in the GA technique with the objective of evaluating …
The objective of this thesis was to develop a novel understanding of the mechanics of two phase gas-liquid flows and sprays injected through industrial effervescent nozzles. This was done using detailed experimental investigations and scaling for two-phase flows and sprays. This…
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency to identify objects. Securing RFID systems and providing privacy in RFID applications has been the focus of much academic work lately. To ensure universal acceptance of RFID…
Genome assembly is the process of merging fragments of DNA sequences produced by shotgun sequencing in order to reconstruct the original genome. It is complicated by repeated regions in genomes, sequencing errors, and experimental biases. Here we focus on our efforts to confront…
As demand for fossil fuel increases and availability decreases, energy consumption reduction in building becomes critical component of a city's comprehensive energy strategy. When addressing energy efficiency in a building, it is necessary to account for local climate first and …
Pipe jacking is a trenchless technology method of installing pipes under existing facilities such as roads and railroads. Predicting jacking forces is important for planning, design, and construction phases of these projects. The jacking forces dictate shaft or pit locations, th…
