Integration of component-based frameworks with sensor modeling languages for the sensor web
(2010-08-01)
The goal of this thesis is to develop an easily modifiable sensor system. To achieve this goal SensorML (an XML based sensor language) is combined with Java Beans (a component model language). An important part of SensorML ...
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) ...
Piezoelectric flexing and output voltage of a microchannel heat engine
(2010-08-01)
In this thesis, a new model is formulated for a piezoelectric membrane and fluid motion in a microchannel heat engine. A new slug flow model is developed for droplet motion in a circular cross-section channel. The model ...
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 ...
Optomal three-time slot distributed beamforming for two-way relaying
(2010-08-01)
In this study, we consider a relay network, with two transceivers and r relay nodes. We
assume that each of relays and the two transceivers have a single antenna. For establishing
the connection between these two transceivers, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development of an autonomous omnicopter aerial vehicle
(2016-08-01)
Traditional multirotors and helicopters control translational movement by changing
the orientation of the entire vehicle. This limits the effectiveness of such vehicles in
applications as a mobile manipulator base. In these ...
