  • Efficient power conversion interface circuits for energy harvesting applications

    Creator:
    Le, Triet T.
    Abstract:
    Harvesting energy from the environment for powering micro-power devices have been increasing in popularity. These types of devices can be used in embedded applications or in sensor networks where battery replacement is impractical. In this dissertation, different methods of energy harvesting from the environment are explored as alternative sources of...

  • Comparison and impact of substrate noise due to clocked and clockless circuitry

    Creator:
    Le, Jim K.
    Abstract:
    Delay insensitive asynchronous circuitry provides significant advantages with respect to substrate noise due to localized switching. The differences between the substrate noise from NULL Convention Logic (NCL) and traditional Clocked Boolean Logic (CBL) are described and analyzed based on measured results. A test chip fabricated in the TSMC 0.25 um...

  • Structural Results and Approximation Algorithms in Minor-free Graphs

    Creator:
    Le, Hung V.
    Abstract:
    Planarity has been successfully exploited to design faster and more accurate approximation algorithms for many graph optimization problems. The celebrated theorem of Kuratowski completely characterizes planar graphs as those excluding K_5 and K_{3,3} as minors. Kuratowski's theorem allows one to generalize planar graphs to H-minor-free graphs: those that exclude a...

  • #ifdef Confirmed Harmful - Promoting Understandable Software Variation

    Creator:
    Le, Duc
    Abstract:
    Maintaining variation in software is a difficult problem that poses serious challenges for the understanding and editing of software artifacts. Although the C preprocessor (CPP) is often the default tool used to introduce variability to software, because of its simplicity and flexibility, it is infamous for its obtrusive syntax and...

  • Poisoning machine learning models to increase membership inference risks

    Creator:
    Le, Hoang
    Abstract:
    Deep learning is now being utilized widely in applications where sensitive data is being used for model training, for example, in health care. In this scenario, any data leakage will cause privacy concerns to whose data records are used to train the model. An attacker can actively cause privacy leakage...

  • Using Web Services for Image Processing in a Desktop Widgets Engine

    Creator:
    Le, Hien
    Abstract:
    Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to...

  • Efficient RF energy scavenging and ultra-low power management for powering wireless sensor nodes

    Creator:
    Arumugam, Vikrant P.
    Abstract:
    As the demand for real-time information in engineering and health care systems keeps increasing, the need for wireless sensor nodes is also continuously increasing. As a result, the cost and effort involved in installing and maintaining batteries to power the numerous sensor nodes is growing exponentially. Providing a cost effective...

  • Global Hierarchical Control of a Park of Spar Buoy-type Floating Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

    Creator:
    Gaebele, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    Converting energy from ocean waves is a challenging area for control theory application because of the nonlinear dynamics in various time scales. Generally, wave energy converter (WEC) control is applied in order to maximize power absorption, in the most common wave conditions, and subject to the devices’ physical constraints. Commonly,...

  • Hybrid electric vehicle converter harmonics

    Creator:
    Bowers, Waylon T.
    Abstract:
    Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV’s) are a very important part of today’s transportation system as they are bridging the gap between fully electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion vehicles (ICV’s). They have much higher efficiencies and lower emissions than ICV’s, while still having the ability to travel long range and refuel...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...
