Survivors of cancerous and traumatic transpelvic amputations have difficulty in transitioning into and out of a chair, as well as sitting upright with correct posture. Th[...]

This paper investigates the control premium in change of control transactions. Ithas taken a large-scale approach to the subject while also adding a pre- and post-crisisp[...]

The increasing importance of renewable electricity, especially PV generation, and the reducing costs of PV modules has placed the inverter in limelight. Panel-level inver[...]

Maglev, the concept of using magnetic forces to levitate a vehicle above a guideway for frictionless motion, has received renewed interest as of late due to several high [...]

This thesis investigates a cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter topology (CHB-MLI). It utilizes a unique methodology that converts the conventional DC voltage output of[...]

During single-point metal turning processes, a long, razor-sharp chip nest is often formed that can be a hazard to both operators and the part being machined. To combat t[...]

This dissertation introduces new models for the locomotion and control of mechanical and hydrodynamic systems that exhibit symmetry, constraints, and control. I introduc[...]

Video game designers depend on artificial intelligence to drive player experience in modern games. Therefore it is critical that AI not only be fast and computationally i[...]

This thesis investigates a unique methodology that converts the conventional dc voltage output of a photovoltaic solar panel to switched quasi-square wave voltages with v[...]

This work proposes a game theoretic framework for managing the radio resources of wireless sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We consider data collecting se[...]
