Title: The Use of Fractals and Non-Foster Circuits for Wideband Metamaterials and Antennas
Author: Smith, Kathryn
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: Implementations of two methods for broadening the performance bandwidth of resonant electromagnetic structures are presented. The first method is the use of non-Foster loading elements, and the second method is the use of fractal geometries. Non-F...

Title: PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF UNSCENTED AND EXTENDED KALMAN FILTER IMPLEMENTATION ON A CONTINIOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR
Author: Mostafavi, Saman
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: In this thesis work, it is intended to investigate not only the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) but to further study the more recent nonlinear Kalman Filters for their application to the nonlinear problem of a continuous stirred tank reactor. The var...

Title: Noninvasive Laser Vasectomy
Author: Cilip, Christopher
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: Development of a noninvasive vasectomy technique may eliminate male fear of complications (incision, bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain) and result in a more popular procedure. These studies build off previous studies that report the ability to...

Title: Investigation of distribution system meshed configuration to increase maximum allowable penetration of distributed generation
Author: Davoudi, Masoud
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: Electrical distribution systems have been traditionally planned and operated in a radial manner, allowing uni-directional flow of power from substation to customers. In recent years, environmental and societal concerns have prompted an increased u...

Title: Increasing hosting capacity of distribution systems for renewable distributed generation by means of network reconfiguration
Author: Ghiafeh Davoudi, Masoud
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: This work aims at allowing for increased penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG) in the power distribution system (DS). The means to achieve this goal is changing the DS topological structure, i.e. by network reconfiguration (NR). In ...

Title: Design of Fault Tolerant Systems
Author: Walker, Benjamin
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: This research designs a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) approach that compensates for both actuator and sensor faults by using multiple observers. This method is shown to work for both linear time-variant and linear time-invariant systems. This work ...

Title: DYNAMIC RANGE ENHANCMENT IN DIGITAL FRINGE PROJECTION AND LASER INTERFEROMETRY

Subjects--Topical: Optics, Engineering, Meteorology
Description: GELAREH BABAIE. Dynamic range enhancement in digital fringe projection and laser interferometry. (Under the direction of DR. FARAMARZ FARAHI)Optical metrology is the science and technology concerning measurements with light. Surface texture and 3D...

Title: DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALGORITHM FOR THE STUDY OF POWER SYSTEM GROUNDING
Author: RAJKUMAR, SONA
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering
Description: It is commonly known that when using electronic equipment, both personnel and equipment need to be protected from high power transients. In order to ensure safety and prevent equipment damage, a grounding system must be used to provide a low resis...

Title: Cutting Mechanics and Manufacture of Optics for Imaging Applications
Author: Troutman, John
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Optics
Description: Ultraprecision diamond machining enables physical realization of freeform surfaces of nearly arbitrary complexity through turning and milling processes. Achievable form accuracies make diamond machining a viable alternative to conventional techniq...
