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 pre[...]

Implementations of two methods for broadening the performance bandwidth of resonant electromagnetic structures are presented. The first method is the use of non-Foster l[...]

Electrical distribution systems have been traditionally planned and operated in a radial manner, allowing uni-directional flow of power from substation to customers. In r[...]

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 cha[...]

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 w[...]

Development of a noninvasive vasectomy technique may eliminate male fear of complications (incision, bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain) and result in a more popular p[...]

Ultraprecision diamond machining enables physical realization of freeform surfaces of nearly arbitrary complexity through turning and milling processes. Achievable form a[...]
