  • Adaptive load balancing metric for WLANs

    Creator:
    Ryou, Jong bum
    Abstract:
    As the number of mobile devices accessing large-scale WLANs such as campus and metropolitan area networks increases, the need for load balancing among the cells becomes crucial. In addition, the network must also support some minimum handoff tolerance defined by an application. A number of load balancing techniques have been...

  • Gender and participation in early stages of the free/open source software joining process

    Creator:
    Gilbertson, Claire E.
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) is a powerful development paradigm for creating software. Increasingly more FOSS projects, like Firefox and Android, are integrated into mainstream technology. It is important that FOSS projects serve its diverse user base well. Several surveys have found that existing FOSS communities are very homogenous populations and...

  • Residential load simulation and applied load management strategies

    Creator:
    McArthur, Shaun
    Abstract:
    This work presents a residential load simulation framework that allows the user to test the effectiveness of peak reduction, peak shifting, and valley filling load management strategies on a representative residential load prior to physical smart sensor and load control deployment. The simulation methodology uses household occupancy, appliance time-of-use, and...

  • Ultra-low energy digital controller for battery-free wireless sensor network nodes

    Creator:
    Nasroullahi, Mohsen
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a low-energy application specific digital controller for a battery-free 2.4 GHz wireless sensor network (WSN) node. The digital controller has been designed and fabricated in a standard 0.13 μm CMOS and implements a simple protocol for WSNs. Techniques such as supply voltage reduction and power gating have...

  • A digital multiplying delay locked loop for high frequency clock generation

    Creator:
    Uttarwar, Tushar
    Abstract:
    As Moore’s Law continues to give rise to ever shrinking channel lengths, circuits are becoming more digital and ever increasingly faster. Generating high frequency clocks in such scaled processes is becoming a tough challenge. Digital phase locked loops (DPLLs) are being explored as an alternative to conventional analog PLLs but...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Optimal communications system design for array-based electric generation

    Creator:
    Orozco, Ricardo
    Abstract:
    The world's demand for energy is an ongoing challenge, which has yet to be overcome. The efforts to find clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels have been hampered by the lack of investment in technology and research. Among these clean energy alternatives are ocean waves and wind. Wind power is...

  • Wind ramp prediction

    Creator:
    Alexander, Chianna M.
    Abstract:
    The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

  • On Convex Dimensionality Reduction for Classification

    Creator:
    Tammineni, Tez Deepthi
    Abstract:
    Dimensionality reduction (DR) is an efficient approach to reduce the size of data by capturing the informative intrinsic features and discarding the noise. DR methods can be grouped through a variety of categories, e.g. supervised/ unsupervised, linear/non-linear or parametric/non-parametric. Objective function based methods can be grouped into convex and non...
