Sum-rate maximization for active channels
(2013-04-01)
In conventional wireless channel models, there is no control on the gains of different
subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signal undergoes attenuation and
phase shift and is subject to multi-path propagation ...
Experimental study of applying grooves on semi-tubular blank sheet metal using incremental sheet forming.
(2013-08-01)
Incremental sheet forming (ISF) was a flexible sheet metal forming process which utilized a variety of forming tools, materials, and dies. ISF was implemented to develop a series of column covers which visually replicated ...
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)
This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...
Compressive sensing based non-destructive testing using ultrasonic arrays.
(2013-08-01)
In this thesis, we apply compressive sensing approach and the notion of sparse signal
recovery to the non-destructive testing application, using ultrasonic arrays. In many
signal processing applications including array ...
Development, analysis and life cycle assessment of integrated systems for hydrogen production based on the copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle
(2013-08-01)
The energy carrier hydrogen is expected to help solve many energy challenges we are facing today. Thermochemical water splitting using a Cu-Cl cycle, linked with renewable energy sources and/or the Generation IV nuclear ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts.
(2013-12-01)
This research focuses on the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts specifically during takeoff, landing and cruise through turbulence flight conditions. The experiments are performed using a multi axis shaker table in the ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a new integrated solar tower system for photocatalytic hydrogen and power production
(2013-08-01)
Solar energy conversion via photocatalytic hydrogen production from water is an attractive route for the propagation of a hydrogen economy. Increasing the efficiency of such systems to meet the target of 10% is essential ...
Infrastructure for secure medical image sharing between distributed PACS and DI-r systems.
(2013-12-01)
Recent developments in information and communication technologies and their incor-
poration into the medical domain have opened doors for the enhancement of health care
services and thereby increasing the work
ow at a ...
Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.
(2013-12-01)
Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has
lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not
powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...
Design optimization of aerodynamic drag at the rear of generic passenger cars using nurbs representation
(2013-05-01)
The rear geometry of a passenger car has the most significant influence on its aerodynamic characteristics. This thesis studied aerodynamic shape optimization of the rear geometry of passenger cars. The Non-uniform rational ...
