Magnetically Anchored "reduced Trocar" Laparoscopy: Evolution Of Surgical Robotics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few years due to its benefits; lower morbidity, less perceived pain, better cosmesis results, and less hospital time. For the surgeon however, there are ...
ARRIBOT- An Enabler For Studying Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The objective of this thesis is to structure a mobile wireless sensor network using low cost, custom made robotic platforms. Over the years, several projects have proved that the performance of a static wireless sensor ...
Region Of Interest (ROI) Based Rate Control For H.263 Compatible Video Conferecing
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation presents a region of interest (ROI) based H.263 [10] [13] compatible video codec, which integrates the idea of object-based coding from MPEG-4 Visual [9] [15] into the traditional block-based H.263 codec. ...
Spectroscopic Characterization Of Biliary Tract Tissues In-vivo To Assist Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a surgical method for removal of gallbladder when it is diseased with gall stones. Almost 750,000 people are affected with this disease annually in USA. Gall bladder is removed by placing ...
Self-organization And Resource Allocation In Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In this dissertation, we utilize clustering to organize wireless sensors into an energy-efficient hierarchy. We propose a Medium-Contention Based ClusterHeadship Auction (MCCHA) scheme, through which sensors self-organize ...
