Power-optimal MIMO two-way relay networks
(2018-04-01)
In this dissertation, we study MIMO two-way relay networks consisting of singleantenna users which wish to exchange information with the help of multiple multiantenna relays. The problem we aim to solve is to minimize the ...
Design and development of advanced control techniques for an unmanned ground vehicle
(2018-11-01)
Recent years have seen considerable progress towards the goal of autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles which became essential for conducting military operations. These autonomous vehicles have the capability to operate ...
Access control obligation specification and enforcement using behavior pattern language
(2018-01-01)
Increasing the use of Internet-based devices offers novel opportunities for users
to access and share resources anywhere and anytime so that such a collaborative
environment complicates the design of an accountable ...
Development and investigation of integrated solar systems for hydrogen and methanol production
(2018-04-01)
Implications of climate change, in particular the negative effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion, as well as the finite nature of fossil fuels necessitate the implementation of ...
Pushing the limits of traditional unsupervised learning
(2018-08-01)
Unsupervised learning has important applications in extremely large data settings such as in medical, biological, social, and environmental data. Typically in these settings, copious amounts of data are collected, with the ...
Analysis and design of computationally efficient modulation schemes for Three Phase Three Switch rectifier for transportation electrification
(2018-02-01)
It is a well-known fact that the transportation sector emits a large amount of pollutants to the atmosphere. The growing need for reducing the carbon footprint has led to sincere efforts being made in the direction of ...
H-Delta: design and applications of a novel 5 degree of freedom parallel robot
(2018-04-01)
This thesis presents a new parallel 5 DOF robot called the H-Delta. The H-
Delta adds 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) to the traditional Delta robot in a novel
way, adding functionality and versatility. Importantly, the rotational ...
Design and implementation of a single phase modified Z-source inverter topology for photovoltaic/grid interconnected DC charging applications
(2018-03-01)
Solar energy has been the most popular sources of renewable energy for residential and
semi-commercial applications. Solar energy sources alone cannot be used to charge an
electric vehicle (EV). Solar/Grid interconnected ...
Methods for optimization of neutron detector performance in nuclear power plants
(2018-08-01)
Safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires shutdown systems to mitigate design-basis accidents. Shutdown is based on measurements from in-core flux detectors. Thus, this thesis proposes a methodology for managing ...
Achieving real-time video summarization on commodity hardware
(2018-04-01)
We present a system for automatic video summarization which is able to operate in
real-time on commodity hardware. This is achieved by performing segmentation
to divide a video into a series of small video clips, which are ...
