Optimal Output Gain Algorithm For Feed-forward Network Training
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
A batch training algorithm for feed-forward networks is proposed which uses Newton's method to estimate a vector of optimal scaling factors for output errors in the network. Using this vector, backpropagation is used to ...
Failure Assessment In Aerospace Systems Via Integrated Multi-functional Sensors
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Integrated sensors fabricated on flexible substrates show lots of promise due to their ability to conform on non-planar surfaces. Potential applications could be smart-skin and wearable electronics which can be used on ...
Implementation Of Security Within GEN2 Protocol
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In this thesis, I propose and evaluate several methods to integrate security within the identification process and memory access processes of the ISO 18000-6C (or GEN2) passive UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) ...
Adaptive Methods For Realistic And Intuitive Human-robot Interaction
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Due to the advancement in robotics and computer technology, having access to sophisticated robot hardware is becoming common. An increase in the number of robots allows one to achieve different kind of tasks by exploiting ...
A Tutorial On LTE Evolved UTRAN (EUTRAN) and LTE Self Organizing Networks (SON)
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The third-generation (3G) cellular communication technology, Universal Mobile Terrestrial System (UMTS), based on Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), has been widely deployed all over the world providing faster ...
Capacitive Strain Sensors For Measurement Of Large Strain For Structural Health Monitoring
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is increasingly used to replace time based management, with a more efficient Condition Based Maintenance (CBM). The traditional scheme of scheduling down time for aircraft inspection or ...
A CMOS Switched Capacitor Based Amperometric Readout Circuit For Microneedle Glucose Sensor
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
Accurate regulation of glucose metabolism is one of the key factors in keeping a healthy state among mammalians. Increase in failure of this natural blood glucose regulatory mechanism has propelled the research for ...
Complexity Reduction In HEVC Intra Coding And Comparison With H.264/AVC
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
ITU-T (VCEG) and ISO/IEC (MPEG) collaborated and formed the joint collaborative team on video coding (JCT-VC) in April 2010 to develop the next-generation video coding (NGVC) standard.. HEVC standard doubles the coding ...
Guided-mode Resonant Solar Cells And Flat-top Reflectors: Analysis, Design, Fabrication And Characterization
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-07-14)
This dissertation addresses the guided-mode resonance (GMR) effect and its applications. In particular, this study presents theoretical analysis and corresponding experiments on two important GMR devices that can be broadly ...
The Impact Of Hybrid Energy Storage On Power Quality When High Power DC Loads Are Operated On A Microgrid Testbed
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-07-14)
As the Navy's demands for high power transient loads evolves, so too does the need for alternative energy sources to back-up the more traditional power generation. Such applications in need of support include electrical ...
