Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)
We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two
end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as
time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ...
Design and development of an automated pellet inspection system for nuclear fuel pellets
(2015-04-01)
A prototype for inline, non-destructive inspection of uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel pellets
at production speeds of two pellets per second is presented. The system tests
the surface of each cylindrical ceramic pellet using ...
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 ...
Electrochemical analysis of CuCl/HCl electrolyser
(2015-10-01)
This thesis presents an electrochemical study on a CuCl/HCl electrolyser which is the hydrogen generation step of the CuCl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle. The anode electrolyte is solution of 2 mol.l−1 CuCl(aq) ...
Optimal farm design with parabolic shape photovoltaic panels using multi-objective optimization
(2015-04-01)
To acquire the maximum efficiency for solar electricity conversion, a solar panel has to absorb nearly every single photon of light emitted from the sun. The shape of the solar panel itself plays an important role in ...
A framework for integrating wireless sensors and cloud computing
(2015-01-01)
Wireless sensors generate a large volume of data that require a highly scalable framework that enables storage, processing, and analysis. Cloud computing technology can provide unlimited storage in addition to a flexible ...
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)
The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate
energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move.
Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
Design and validation of active trailer steering systems for articulated heavy vehicles using driver-hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation
(2015-08-01)
To improve the low-speed maneuverability and high-speed lateral stability of Double Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (DTAHVs), an Active Trailer Steering (ATS) system has been designed. To date, investigations on ATS ...
Spectrum sensing based on capon power spectral density estimation
(2015-04-01)
Cognitive radio (CR) technology has evolved to solve the spectrum scarcity problem and improve
spectrum utilization. Spectrum sensing is a CR function that allows secondary users to
efficiently utilize the spectrum without ...
Inspection & modelling of cusp geometry in additive manufacturing to predict product’s surface roughness
(2015-04-01)
The final dimensional and geometric inaccuracies, and the resulting high surface roughness of the products have been the major problems in employing Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Most of commonly used Additive ...
