  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • Security protocols for linear network coding

    Creator:
    Adeli, Majid
    Abstract:
    Network coding, as the next generation of data routing protocols, enables each intermediate node in a network to process and encode its received data before forwarding it to the next nodes. Hence, the core idea in network coding is to allow a network to encode the data that is being...

  • Supervised Hierarchical Segmentation for Bird Bioacoustics

    Creator:
    Tjahja, Teresa V.
    Abstract:
    Bioacoustics analysis can be used to conduct environmental monitoring by detecting the presence of birds species. This analysis usually involves identifying the species from their calls. In most frameworks, bird song syllables are extracted from audio recordings and individual syllables are input to a classifier to identify the species. Extraction...

  • On the Structure of Unconditional UC Hybrid Protocols

    Creator:
    Shirley, Morgan
    Abstract:
    Two parties, Alice and Bob, hold inputs x and y respectively. They wish to compute a function f of their inputs. In an ideal world, f(x, y) could be calculated by sending the inputs to a trusted third party. In the absence of such a third party, Alice and Bob...

  • 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...

  • Protocol design and optimization for wireless networks

    Creator:
    Lertsutthiwong, Monchai
    Abstract:
    We investigate a number of techniques for increasing throughput and quality of media applications over wireless networks. A typical media communication application such as video streaming imposes strict requirements on the delay and throughout of its packets, which unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed by the underlying wireless network due inherently to...

  • FluffyHome : Find a pet‐sitter for free

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chendi
    Abstract:
    More than 50% of American families have at least one pet nowadays, and the number is still rising. Pet caring needs are also growing with it. When people need to leave home for work or vacation, leaving pets home alone might bother some pet owners. Unfortunately, existing approaches all have...

  • Continuous Integration (CI) Needs and Wishes for Developers of Proprietary Code

    Creator:
    Hilton, Michael, Nelson, Nicholas, Dig, Danny, Tunnell, Timothy, Marinov, Darko, and Oregon State University. Department of Computer Science
    Abstract:
    Continuous integration (CI) systems automate the compilation, building, and testing of software. Despite CI being one of the most widely used processes in software engineering, we do not know what motivates developers to use CI, and what barriers and unmet needs they face. Without such knowledge developers make easily avoidable...

  • Receiver synchronization for UWB TDOA localization

    Creator:
    Baek, Seungjin
    Abstract:
    Pulsed ultra-wideband (UWB) radio uses extremely short pulses to transmit information. Such pulses provide very fine timing information, which has led to technological advances in high-precision localization. This thesis investigates UWB localization strategies with a focus on receiver synchronization algorithms for time-difference-of-arrival localization to achieve centimeter accuracies in a 3-dimensional...

  • Efficient Private Matching for Private Databases

    Creator:
    Trieu, Thi Ni Ni
    Abstract:
    Private matching (PM) is a key cryptographic primitive in secure computation that allows several parties to jointly compute some functions depending on their private inputs. Indeed, this primitive has many practical applications. For instance, in online advertising, two companies may wish to find their common customers for a joint marketing...
