Android wi-fi location awareness and data inference heuristic.
(2013-12-01)
Mobile phones are becoming a primary platform for information access. More and more people use their mobile devices as one of their major communication access tools. Commuters are increasingly carrying their mobile devices ...
Real time safety verification in the process industry using fault semantic networks (FSN)
(2013-08-01)
In the process industry, there are uncertainties associated with each variable, which might lead to process deviations and hazards. In order to accurately quantify the risks associated with these hazard scenarios, quantitative ...
Design synthesis of car-trailer systems with active trailer differential braking strategies.
(2013-08-01)
To this date, various control strategies based on linear vehicle models have been proposed and developed for improving the lateral stability of car trailer (CT) systems. Is a linear-model-based controller applicable to ...
Probabilistic assessment of the impact of plug-in electric vehicles on power quality in electric vehicles on power quality in electric distribution systems.
(2013-11-01)
The electrification of the transportation sector may have socio-economic benefits such as
reducing greenhouse gases, lowering the soaring gas prices, and ending the reliance on
imported oil. The integration of plug-in ...
An interactive and context-driven approach to mobile decision support services
(2013-08-01)
This thesis introduces a new approach to service sophistication where the users with no
prior knowledge about a public domain's list of services can conveniently and e ectively
use those services in companion with complementary ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
