Infrastructure for secure medical image sharing between distributed PACS and DI-r systems.
(2013-12-01)
Recent developments in information and communication technologies and their incor-
poration into the medical domain have opened doors for the enhancement of health care
services and thereby increasing the work
ow at a ...
Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.
(2013-12-01)
Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has
lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not
powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...
Design optimization of aerodynamic drag at the rear of generic passenger cars using nurbs representation
(2013-05-01)
The rear geometry of a passenger car has the most significant influence on its aerodynamic characteristics. This thesis studied aerodynamic shape optimization of the rear geometry of passenger cars. The Non-uniform rational ...
Android wi-fi location awareness and data inference heuristic.
(2013-12-01)
Mobile phones are becoming a primary platform for information access. More and more people use their mobile devices as one of their major communication access tools. Commuters are increasingly carrying their mobile devices ...
Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
(2013-04-01)
Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) exhibit unstable motion modes
at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer swing, and roll-over. These unstable
motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. On the other ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a new integrated solar tower system for photocatalytic hydrogen and power production
(2013-08-01)
Solar energy conversion via photocatalytic hydrogen production from water is an attractive route for the propagation of a hydrogen economy. Increasing the efficiency of such systems to meet the target of 10% is essential ...
Design synthesis of car-trailer systems with active trailer differential braking strategies.
(2013-08-01)
To this date, various control strategies based on linear vehicle models have been proposed and developed for improving the lateral stability of car trailer (CT) systems. Is a linear-model-based controller applicable to ...
Probabilistic assessment of the impact of plug-in electric vehicles on power quality in electric vehicles on power quality in electric distribution systems.
(2013-11-01)
The electrification of the transportation sector may have socio-economic benefits such as
reducing greenhouse gases, lowering the soaring gas prices, and ending the reliance on
imported oil. The integration of plug-in ...
An interactive and context-driven approach to mobile decision support services
(2013-08-01)
This thesis introduces a new approach to service sophistication where the users with no
prior knowledge about a public domain's list of services can conveniently and e ectively
use those services in companion with complementary ...
Experimental modelling of surface roughness and dynamic friction coefficient of diamond like carbon coated shafts
(2013-12-01)
Companies that coat their products with DLC often have strict surface roughness and friction coefficient goals. This research investigates the surface roughness and friction coefficient properties of uncoated and DLC coated ...
