Traditionally linear actuator applications are addressed by the use of hydraulic systems. The high maintenance cost and poor reliability will always be the most critical problem in the real applications. Benefited from b ...

Time of Arrival (TOA) is a popular technique used for geolocation. This thesis evaluates the use of TOA techniques indoors. The accuracy of measuring distances using TOA is dependent on the bandwidth of the system and th ...

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV’s) are a very important part of today’s transportation system as they are bridging the gap between fully electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion vehicles (ICV’s). They have ...

A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocea ...

fIndoor wireless local area networks (LAN's) and personal area networks (PAN’s) have evolved very rapidly in the recent past. The indoor wireless LAN's are mainly dominated by narrow-band technologies like the IEEE 802.1 ...

Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a per ...
