  • A Multiresolution Analysis of Temporal Logic

    Creator:
    Pelphrey, Richard E.
    Abstract:
    Is it possible to determine whether a signal violates a formula in Signal Temporal Logic (STL), if the monitor only has access to a low-resolution version of the signal? We answer this question affirmatively by demonstrating that temporal logic has a multiresolution structure, which parallels the multiresolution structure of signals....

  • A motor-generator and supercapacitor based system for microgrid frequency stabilization

    Creator:
    Crispo, Richard F.
    Abstract:
    This research introduces an energy storage system to deliver microgrid frequency response. A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) are coupled together as a motor/generator set to deliver an immediate inertial response to a change of frequency, and an inverter and supercapacitors deliver short term...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • An implementation of a reliable broadcast scheme for 802.11 using network coding

    Creator:
    Edgecombe, Richard
    Abstract:
    Forward Error Correction and retransmission are two approaches used to reliably broadcast data in a network with poor quality of service. Taking some assumptions, it has been suggested that a retransmission based reliable broadcasting scheme using network coding should in theory provide an increase in bandwidth efficiency by combining packets...

  • Optimization of interactive live free viewpoint multiview video streaming bandwidth

    Creator:
    Kramer, Richard A.
    Abstract:
    There are generally two types of multiview video:(1) 3D Multiview Video (“3D MVV” also called “2D plus delta” or “stereo” multi-view video): 3D MVV is widely deployed in cinemas and in the TV industry. 3D MVV typically entails capturing video of an object using two cameras with differing view angles...

  • Inductors in high-performance silicon radio frequency integrated circuits : analysis, modeling, and design considerations

    Creator:
    Lutz, Richard D., Jr
    Abstract:
    Spiral inductors are a key component of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits (IC's). Such circuits are often fabricated using silicon-based technology, owing to the inherent low-cost and high volume production aspects. However, semiconducting substrate materials such as silicon can have adverse effects on spiral inductor performance due to the lossy...

  • Planning in multi-agent partially observable domains using sparse sampling

    Creator:
    Donneau-Golencer, Thierry D.
    Abstract:
    A large number of sequential decision-making problems in uncertain environments can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In such settings, an agent can observe at each time step the state of the environment and then executes an action, causing a stochastic transition to a new state of the environment...

  • Adding context and value to online security ratings by combining heuristics with community based ratings

    Creator:
    Ayyavu, Prashanth
    Abstract:
    The Internet is growing rapidly in terms of websites, users and uses. People use the Internet for reference, shopping, social networking, communications, business and much more. Though the Internet is useful, there are many risks associated with its use, like malicious websites, identity theft, hateful content and fraudulent practices. Online...

  • Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...
