Single-stage boost integrated asymmetrical half-bridge AC-DC power converter with dual modulation for indoor led lighting
(2015-04-01)
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) for indoor lighting is a promising technology which can lead to major energy saving and cost reductions. The major concerns of improving power factor and regulating the output current ripple ...
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 ...
User-centric analytics for expert crowds
(2015-09-01)
Pervasiveness and permissiveness of social media made content verification an integral part of any analysis involving online generated data. The most natural and convenient way to assess content trustworthiness and validity ...
Design and development of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2015-08-01)
For the design of a new robotic crawler drive unit for CANDU fuel channel inspection, a complete design and screening process was done in order to fulfil the objective of this research. A brief explanation of CANDU reactors ...
Jointly optimal pre- and post-channel equalization and distributed beamforming in asynchronous bi-directional relay networks
(2015-09-01)
We consider an asynchronous two-way relay network, consisting of two transceivers and multiple relays, where due to the propagation delays of different transceiver-relay paths being different, inter-symbol- interference ...
Power allocation in energy harvesting two-way relay systems
(2015-04-01)
In this thesis, we consider two-way relaying in a wireless communication system with two transceivers and one relay node. In such a model, two scenarios are taken into account: a system with one energy harvesting (EH) relay ...
Characterization of fluid flow in paper-based microfluidic devices
(2015-07-01)
Paper-based microfluidic devices are being leveraged for application of diagnostic and detection technology in low-resource settings. In order to design a highly accurate device, a mathematical model is required to predict ...
Analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow in an evaporating sessile droplet for evaporative cooling applications
(2015-08-01)
Cooling is of critical importance for a number of fields, particularly in microelectronic
devices and other miniaturized technology. The evaporation of the sessile liquid
droplet facilitates the phase change of that liquid ...
Sum-rate optimal network beamforming and power allocation for single-carrier asynchronous bidirectional relay network
(2015-08-01)
We study the problem of sum-rate maximization, under a total transmit power budget,
for an asynchronous single-carrier bidirectional (two-way) network. The network consists
of two single-antenna transceivers which wish to ...
Ultracapacitor characterization using a novel dynamic parameter identification modeling technique for electric transportation applications
(2015-09-01)
Ultracapacitors (UCs), also known as Supercapacitors or double layer capacitors, are the promising technology devices used for storing energy in the field of energy storage systems. These ultra-capacitors, being a low ...
