  • Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

    Creator:
    Schacher, Anthony Clinton
    Abstract:
    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. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...

  • Enhancing Resolution and Scalability of Power Grid Reliability Algorithms

    Creator:
    Lassetter, Austin R.
    Abstract:
    This Thesis aims to determine whether we can improve the accuracy, resolution, and speed of calculations for common power system problems using simple computational models that scale well to machine learning and high performance computing solutions. The second chapter of this Thesis implements more precise aging and degradation models for...

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...

  • SocioEconomicMag Meets a Platform for SES-Diverse College Students: A Case Study

    Creator:
    Agarwal, Puja
    Abstract:
    Emerging research shows that individual differences in how people use technology sometimes cluster by socioeconomic status (SES) and that when technology is not socioeconomically inclusive, low-SES individuals may abandon it. To understand how to improve technology’s SES-inclusivity, we present a multi-phase case study on SocioEconomicMag (SESMag), an emerging inspection method...

  • Graph Imitation Learning for Optimal Joint Beamforming and Antenna Selection

    Creator:
    Shrestha, Sagar
    Abstract:
    Transmit beamforming is an important technique employed to improve efficiency and signal quality in wireless communication systems by steering signals towards their in- tended users. It often arises jointly with the antenna selection problem due to various reasons, such as limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains and energy/resource effi-...

  • Offensive Direction Inference in Real-World Football Video

    Creator:
    Lu, Qingkai
    Abstract:
    Automatic analysis of American football videos can help teams develop strategies and extract patterns with less human effort. In this work, we focus on the problem of automatically determining which team is on offense/defense, which is an important subproblem for higher-level analysis. While seemingly mundane, this problem is quite challenging...

  • Image Based Crypto

    Creator:
    Basa, Gungor
    Abstract:
    The ability to create reproducible cryptographically secure keys from temporal environments (e.g., images) has the potential to be a contributor to effective cryptographic mechanisms. Due to the noisy nature of these environments, achieving this goal in a user friendly fashion is a very challenging task, especially since there exists a...

  • Supporting end-user debugging

    Creator:
    Kissinger, Cory
    Abstract:
    Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Hybrid electric vehicle dc-bus converter harmonics

    Creator:
    Mills-Price, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    As more advanced hybrid electric vehicles begin emerging onto the commercial market, design algorithms for their control become increasingly more complicated. One major hurdle for designers is the mitigation and control of the created high frequency harmonics caused from switching the dc voltage into an ac voltage by use of...
