Design and analysis of an adjustable wrist rehabilitation robot.
(2014-07-01)
Numerous people lose motor capabilities of their hands every year because of the Stroke. Rehabilitation robot was used to recover the movement ability based on the plasticity theory. Many robots have been proposed but most ...
Determining fuzzy link quality membership functions in wireless sensor networks
(2014-04-01)
Wireless Sensor Network routing protocols rely on the estimation of the quality of the links between nodes to determine a suitable path from the data source nodes to a data-collecting node. Several link estimators have ...
Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...

Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Development of a PSA-based safety assessment and management framework for nuclear-based hydrogen generation system.
(2014-08-01)
The nuclear-based Cooper-Chloride (Cu-Cl) thermochemical cycle a promising method for future large-scale hydrogen generation. The nuclear-based hydrogen generation leads to new challenge for system safety due to the ...
Experimental investigation and analysis of a new light-based hydrogen production system
(2014-12-01)
Due to the world’s increasing population and the rising standard of living, global energy demand is expected to keep increasing. The limited nature of fossil fuels and their non-homogenous global distribution along with ...
Design and characterization of next-generation tissue equivalent proportional counters for use in low energy neutron fields
(2014-04-01)
Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPCs) are devices that can measure the radiation dose levels for the mixed neutron and gamma ray fields that are encountered in nuclear facilities. TEPC designs typically consist ...
