Investigation of selective optical properties of Si/SiO2 nanostructures generated by pulsed laser ablation as-deposited and post-treated
(2020-05-01)
Silicon and its derivatives like SiO2 are essential materials for industrial applications such as semiconductors, optoelectronics, and telecommunication. Optical properties of a large group of silicon/silica nanofibrous ...
Harmonic emissions assessment for common DC and AC electric vehicle charging station architectures
(2020-10-01)
Future transportation needs are going to be met by Electric Vehicles (EVs) because of global pollution by oil-based vehicles and climate change. In order to meet the charging demand and range anxiety of EV users, Fast ...
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 ...
