Wireless transmission with energy harvesting and storage
(2017-01-01)
In this dissertation, online power control strategies are proposed for wireless communication
systems equipped with energy harvesting devices and finite-capacity batteries. The
methods are proposed for the unbounded ...
Sparse signal representation based algorithms with application to ultrasonic array imaging
(2016-06-01)
We address one- and two-layer ultrasonic array imaging. We use an array of transducers to inspect the internal structure of a given specimen. In the case of one-layer imaging we also address the problem of mode conversion. ...
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 ...
Multiphase flow and chemical reactor thermodynamics for hydrolysis and thermochemical production
(2012-08-01)
Current techniques of hydrogen production (primarily reformation of fossil fuels) are
unsustainable, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, as well as consuming limited reserves
of fossil fuels. The copper-chlorine cycle is a ...
Ultrasonic array imaging for multi-layer materials in non-destructive testing applications.
(2014-12-01)
Ultrasonic imaging for a multi-layer medium is a common challenge in seismology,
medical diagnosis, and non-destructive testing. One application for multi-layer imaging
is ultrasonic immersion test where the material ...
Automatic trajectory generation for mobile-manipulators using 3D LiDAR scans of unknown surfaces
(2019-07-01)
An approach to improving worker safety in underground uranium drift mining through automating the radiation scanning and shotcrete application process is presented. Utilizing the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework to ...
