Secure and compromise-resilient architecture for advanced metering infrastructure
(2011-03-01)
In recent years, the Smart Grid has grown to be the solution for future electrical energy that promises to avoid blackouts as well as to be energy efficient, environmentally and customer-friendly. In Smart Grid, the ...
Haptic teleoperation of mobile manipulator systems using virtual fixtures.
(2011-11-01)
In order to make the task of controlling Mobile-Manipulator Systems (MMS) simpler, a
novel command strategy that uses a single joystick is presented to replace the existing
paradigm of using multiple joysticks. To improve ...
Test platform design and control of a bicycle-type two-wheeled autonomous vehicle
(2011-03-01)
Bicycle dynamics and behaviors have been vastly studied through modeling and
simulation. Due to the complexity, software models are often assumed subjecting
to di erent nonholonomic constraints in order to simplify the ...
Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)
With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms,
Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications.
This research focuses on the application of MPC ...
Enhancing roll stability and directional performance of articulated heavy vehicles based on anti-roll control and design optimization.
(2011-10-01)
This research presents an investigation to actively improve the rollover stability of articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) during high speed manoeuvres using anti-roll control systems. A 3-dimensional (3-D) linear yaw/roll ...
Social-based trustworthy data forwarding in vehicular delay tolerant networks
(2011-03-01)
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new communication technol-ogy which has attracted a lot of research attention from academic community and indus-try. For many applications in VANETs, information has to be ...
Study on linking a SuperCritical water-cooled nuclear reactor to a hydrogen production facility
(2011-07-01)
The SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactor (SCWR) is one of six Generation-IV nuclear-reactor concepts currently being designed. It will operate at pressures of 25 MPa and temperatures up to 625°C. These operating ...
Development and characterization of a dual neutron and gamma detector
(2011-08-01)
A dual neutron and gamma detection system has been developed for online measurements. The system consists of a single crystal mounted on a photomultiplier tube to detect simultaneously gamma radiation as well as thermal ...
Polarization, passivation, intercalation, and generation: an examination of In-Situ and Ex-Situ analytical techniques for the study of carbon anode materials for the electrochemical generation of elemental fluorine.
(2011-12-01)
The field of industrial fluorine generation has not made significant progress in the past 60 years due to the difficulty and hazards surrounding the use of hydrofluoric acid (HF) and fluorine gas. This work examines various ...
Thermal aspects of high efficiency channel with conventional and alternative fuels in SuperCritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) applications
(2011-03-01)
Chosen as one of six Generation‒IV nuclear-reactor concepts, SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are expected to have high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45 ‒ 50% owing to reactor‘s high outlet temperatures. ...
