Fabrication of Cost-effective Flexible Glucose Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Creator:: Mullapudi, Sri Sai Kameswara
Abstract:: Diabetes is a pandemic that affects nearly 29.1 million Americans and the fourth leading cause of mortality in the US. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition which occurs due to little to no production of insulin by the pancreas. This form of diabetes requires constant monitoring of blood glucose...

The design and development of the wearable health and activity monitor

Creator:: Glover, Neil E.
Abstract:: This work describes the development of an accurate, low-cost, expandable and wearable health and activity monitoring platform. Wearable monitors used to track physical activity are becoming an increasingly popular and effective way to combat our dangerously sedentary lifestyles. Unfortunately most existing wearable solutions are either costly, inaccurate or cumbersome. The...

Improved efficiency in medium-power flyback converters

Creator:: Ruttanapaibooncharoen, Surin
Abstract:: Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS's) not only convert energy, they also consume it. Typical operational efficiencies are approximately 25 to 60% for linear power supplies, and approximately 50-90% for switching power supplies. This means that products whose end-use electronics are dc, such as televisions and DVD players, could consume 50% less...

Testing of wave energy converters using the Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy

Creator:: Lettenmaier, Terrance
Abstract:: Ocean testing of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) prototypes is necessary to facilitate commercial WEC development. The Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy, completed in August 2012, provides a stand-alone load for WEC prototypes during ocean testing. The first part of this work was to develop the power conversion and data acquisition equipment...

A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Hogan, Peter M.
Abstract:: Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...
