Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting
(2021-11-01)
Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ...
Semi-direct visual SLAM for stereo cameras: system design and validation
(2021-11-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) requires an autonomous vehicle in an unknown environment to learn about the environment, generates a map and localize itself at the same time. To solve this problem, various ...
Tunable compact microwave multiplexers based on substrate integrated waveguide
(2021-05-01)
Microwave multiplexers and diplexers are widely used in communication systems. This thesis presents a compact low-profile hybrid-coupled filter module (HCFM) implemented using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). Compared ...
A CFD analysis of the pressure drop through misaligned Stirling engine regenerators
(2021-04-01)
Experiments were conducted to discover the average misalignment in wire mesh regenerators, and it was found that regardless of the intended stacking arrangement, the average misalignment was 44% to 49%. A 3-dimensional CFD ...
Modelling and real-time simulation of a modular bidirectional solid-state transformer for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles
(2021-08-01)
This thesis proposes a modular Solid-State Transformer (SST) system architecture to be directly interfacing with a three-phase MV utility network enabling high-power and ultra-fast charging capabilities for electric vehicles, ...
Clustering analysis of lock contention fault types using run-time performance metrics for java intrinsic locks
(2022-02-01)
Locks are essential in java-based multi-threaded applications as this mechanism provides a proper solution to synchronizing shared resources. However, improper management of locks and threads can lead to contention; as a ...
Retail electric provider selection for prosumers with local distributed energy resources and plug-in electric vehicles using data mining techniques
(2021-01-01)
In a deregulated retail electricity market, the residential customers typically have the liberty to choose an electricity service plan from a list of retail electric providers (REPs) that best matches their monthly energy ...
Development of a knowledge base using human experience semantic network for instructive texts
(2021-12-01)
An organized knowledge base plays a vital role in retaining knowledge. Instructive text (iText) consists of a set of instructions to accomplish a task or operation. In the case of iText, storing only entities and their ...
Reducing operational cost of an autonomous robot using combined data-driven and navigational algorithms
(2021-04-01)
Autonomous mobile robots have become an important presence in various fields of work, but are restricted by short operation times due to the limitations of their onboard energy sources. This factor bottlenecks applications ...
Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
