An energy-efficient periodic resource model for cyber-physical systems By Suzanne Elashri
(2021-08-01)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), especially real-time systems, are subject to time constraints that should be met for the applications to run properly. The schedulability of workloads can be analyzed by determining the supply ...
A bidirectional battery-to-battery energy cycler for battery pack testing and validation
(2020-11-01)
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming popular not only in the Electric Vehicle (EV) market but also in other sectors because of their salient features like high terminal voltage, fast charge/discharge capabilities, and energy ...
Enhancement of bioactive glass biocompatibility by deposition of titanium nanofibres generated by the High Intensity Laser Induced Reverse Transfer Method (HILIRT)
(2020-04-01)
A literature review was done in order to understand the structure and properties of the surface of bioactive glass and how to make this structure biocompatible with the human body. In this research, glass biocompatibility ...
Tissue classification from electric impedance spectroscopy for haptic feedback in minimally invasive surgery
(2020-10-01)
Haptic feedback is missing in teleoperated surgical robots creating a sensory disconnect from the surgeon and their patient. This thesis proposes using the electric impedance of tissues, instead of the traditionally used ...
Constant-temperature constant-voltage charging method for lithium-ion battery technology
(2020-09-01)
Lithium-ion batteries are the Electrical Vehicles' (EVs) best choice of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) on account of their energy density, power density, and life cycle. In order for the EVs to compete with conventional ...
Yield estimation and smart harvesting for precision agriculture using deep learning
(2021-08-01)
Precision agriculture is one of the fastest growing fields in recent years. In this thesis, we introduce a framework that provides farmers with a yield estimation from videos of crops and provides guided assistance for ...
A study of a piezoelectric energy harvesting system using magnetorheological fluids
(2020-08-01)
This thesis reports the study of a piezoelectric energy harvesting system using a thin layer of magnetorheological fluid as a soft impact mechanism to enhance the frequency of the energy generator. Currently, the major ...
Thermal characterization and modeling of an energy storage system
(2020-09-01)
The thesis reports a virtual design tool that was developed to predict and analyze thermal loads in an electric vehicle charging system. The tool was designed using computational fluid dynamics techniques and validated ...
Probabilistic assessment of the impact of integrating large-scale high-power fast charging stations on the power quality in the electric power distribution systems
(2020-03-01)
The work presented in this thesis assesses the impacts of integrating large-scale high-power fast charging stations on the electric power quality by studying different power quality phenomena such as low-order and high-order ...
Development and validation of an Active Grille Shutter testing platform
(2020-09-01)
In this thesis, a testbench is developed for testing the functionality of Active Grille Shutters (AGS) and radiators in wind tunnels. Additionally, a generic pressure plate is designed to mimic commercial radiators, and a ...
