  • Determination of magnetoelastic parameters in magnetic thin films from FMR spectra

    Creator:
    Masood, Khalid I.
    Abstract:
    The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomenon serves as a sensitive probe of the effective internal fields in a magnetic material. FMR spectroscopy has consequently become a well-established technique, extensively employed in assessing material properties such as magnetic anisotropy, Landé g-factor, damping parameter, and the magnetoelastic constants of magnetic materials. Determining these...

  • Modeling of Wave Energy Converter via Instantaneous Frequency

    Creator:
    Kim, Inyong
    Abstract:
    A multidisciplinary perspective is necessitated for the analysis of wave energy conversion systems, spanning hydrodynamics, mechanics, electric power, and control systems. The complexity inherent in these scientific domains poses challenges for unified analysis. This paper addresses these challenges by connecting various domains through the application of circuit theory, characterizing the...

  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...

  • Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Prostheses

    Creator:
    Thurston, Tegan J.
    Abstract:
    Loss of a limb can severely impact everyday way of life. Prosthetics provide a way to return functionality to the user and improve quality of life. However, most prosthetic systems currently available in the market lack sensory feedback making them comparatively more difficult to use resulting in prosthetic abandonment. Therefore,...

  • Secure Data Analytics under Data Integrity Attacks

    Creator:
    De Silva, Shashini A.
    Abstract:
    There has been tremendous growth in using data analytic and machine learning algorithms to make critical decisions, such as in the national power grid, healthcare operations, and autonomous vehicles. Employing data analytic for decision-making allows cyber attackers to manipulate the decisions of these algorithms through data falsification. Hence, the trustworthiness...

  • Predicting Properties of Bio-jet Fuels using Machine Learning and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Mayer, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    High-potential molecules derived from biomass sources may suitably replace or supplement traditional nonrenewable hydrocarbon fuels to reduce pollution and fuel processing costs. Due to expensive and time-consuming property testing, models that predict key properties from optical data would initially vet potential additives before investment and bench-scale testing. Attenuated Total Reflection...

  • Adaptive Movement Intent Decoding for Intuitive Control of Neuroprostheses

    Creator:
    George, Damon A.
    Abstract:
    Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...

  • Kalman Filter Tracking for an FSO Communication System based on Dynamic Beam Steering and Shaping

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Luc F.
    Abstract:
    We present a theoretical free-space optical (FSO) transmitter that utilizes a dynamically steered and shaped laser beam to communicate with a randomly moving receiver adorned with a retroreflector. The transmitter tracks the receiver's position by repeatedly scanning the field of view (FOV), measuring reflections from the retroreflector, and estimating the...

  • Sensor Interface Circuit Design towards CMOS Scaling

    Creator:
    Liu, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Sensor system plays an important role in connecting everything including human body to the electrical information systems that we have built and that we are going to build, to make the world more intelligent and efficient. One of the key propulsive forces behind these emerging techniques is CMOS scaling that...

  • Active and Passive Control of Machine Tool Vibrations for High Speed and Accuracy

    Creator:
    Dumanli, Ahmet Alper
    Abstract:
    High-performance mechatronic systems are widely used in precision manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools, 3D-Printers, photolithography systems, industrial robots, and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). These equipment are utilized in producing parts and components for aviation, semiconductor, optics, and many other emerging industries, with geometric features and surface properties within...
