Design and development of an autonomous navigation system for an omni-directional four-wheeled mobile robot
(2012-01-01)
A navigation system developed for an omni-directional wheeled mobile robot, called
the Omnibot, is presented. This system is developed to enable the Omnibot to autonomously navigate, in a collision-free manner, along ...
Study of the effect of molten CuCl immersion test on alloys with high Ni-content with and without surface coatings
(2012-04-01)
The demand for hydrogen as a clean energy carrier has increased greatly. The Cu-Cl cycle is a promising thermochemical cycle that is currently being developed to be the large-scale method of hydrogen production. The lifetime ...
Simulation and control of a Marnoch heat engine
(2012-04-01)
The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of heat engine currently under development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The MHE can use waste or collected heat at temperatures that are currently unusable ...
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)
Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the
potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these
resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...
Codebook design for distributed relay beamforming system
(2012-04-01)
In FDD amplify-and-forward distributed relay network, codebook techniques are utilized
to feedback quantized CSI with limited cost. First, this thesis focuses on the phaseonly
codebook and with-power-control codebook design ...
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
(2012-03-01)
This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel
robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot
and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...
Islanding detection in distribution system embedded with renewable-based distributed generation
(2012-12-01)
Classical view of power system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from
centralized generation to consumers. Power system deregulation gave impetus to a
modern view by introducing distributed generations (DGs) ...
OLSR-based network discovery in situational awareness system for tactical MANETs
(2012-01-01)
In this thesis, we propose a high level design for connectivity visualization of OLSRbased
MANET topology based on local topology databases available in an OLSR node.
Two different scenarios are considered: a central ...
Interactive visualization of the collaborative research network
(2012-01-01)
Social networks have been evolving over the past few years, leading to a rapid increase in the number and complexity of relationships among their entities. In this research, we focus on a large scale dataset known as the ...
Evaporative drying of cupric-chloride droplets in a thermo-chemical cycle of hydrogen production
(2012-08-01)
In this thesis, new empirical correlations that predict the behaviour of Cupric-Chloride
droplets undergoing spraying and drying processes are developed. Cupric-Chloride is a chemical
compound with the formula CuCl2 that ...
