Haptic controls in cars for safer driving
(2011-06-01)
With the spread of latest state of the art technologies geared towards utilization of the human senses, haptic technologies have been introduced as a way of utilising the sense of touch to either solve real world problems ...
Self-propelled rotary tool for turning difficult-to-cut materials
(2011-04-01)
Hard turning of difficult-to-cut materials is an economical method of machining components with high surface quality and mechanical performance. Conventionally in the machining industry, generating a component from raw ...
Analysis and processing issues of plastic color mismatch
(2011-05-01)
Color is a visual characteristic which imparts the ability to categorize different
objects. When light strikes an object, there are three possibilities as to what can happen.
The light may be reflected, refracted or ...
Effective design of multiplexing network for applications in communications satellites
(2011-07-01)
Microwave multiplexing networks are widely used in satellite communication systems. Their performances, such as the insertion loss and rejection between channels, are extremely critical. This research aims at effective ...
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 ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Detection of covert channel communications based on intentionally corrupted frame check sequences
(2011-07-01)
This thesis presents the establishment of a covert-channel in wireless networks in the form
of frames with intentionally corrupted Frame Check Sequences (FCSs). Previous works had
alluded to the possibility of using this ...
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 ...
