A fast optical scanning device has always been desired for numerous applications such as biomedical imaging, optical communications, and variety of sensing and actuating applications. This dissertation presents a new ...
Evaluation And Applications Of Gas Sensors
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Gas sensors are used widely for environmental and biomedical uses. This work focuses on verifying specifications of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) gas sensors and their particular applications.
The first chapter in this ...
Monitoring And Fault Diagnosis Of Multiconverter Power Electronic Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Over the recent years the electric loads in automobiles have increased considerably due to advancements in high-power semiconductor based converters. However, with increasing electrical and electrically driven loads, there ...
Physics Based Time-frequency Analysis To Reduce Multi-bounce And Clutter In Radar Imaging
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The concept of time-frequency analysis of the scattered far field data from multiple targets is presented. The scattered data from the target is collected using a mono-static antenna configuration. The hardware system and ...
Optimization Of Coupling From A Sub-wavelength Metal Nanoaperture To A Gaussian Mode
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
We model the surface resonance effects in a 1D-array of corrugations
on a metal-dielectric film with a sub-wavelength nanoaperture, following the
earlier work by Moreno et-al [Moreno:2003]. We are interested
in computing ...
RF MEMS And Integrated Manufacturing For Miniaturized Millimeter-wave Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Recently millimeter-wave systems have attracted more attentions in applications owing to their short wavelengths, high resolutions, broad bandwidths and high environmental tolerance. However, the great challenges of high ...
Structural Similarity Based Image Quality Assessment: Pooling Strategies And Applications To Image Compression And Digit Recognition
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This thesis studies a recently proposed perceptual image similarity measure: the structural similarity (SSIM) index. Although still in its early stage, the SSIM index has demonstrated superior performance in a large number ...
Design, Fabrication And Assembly Of 3-D Microstructures
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The primary goal of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) is to integrate electronics, sensors and actuators into a tiny system, which can be easily fabricated and packaged. Currently there is no standard process for ...
Deformable Haptic Models For Surgical Simulation
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Surgical simulation is in great need for surgical training, analysis, planing and rehearsal. The core of this simulation is the deformable models for the organs. The deformable model must provides both realistic visual ...
The Operation Platform Recommendation For The Deregulated Utility Industry In Thailand
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Transmission Congestion Management (TCM) plays a significant role in power system operation under today deregulated environment. It has two major functions of an apparatus to keep power system running within acceptable ...
