  • Hacking RFID Tags to Produce Economical Soil Moisture Sensors

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Brett S.
    Abstract:
    Currently available soil moisture sensors have intrinsic limitations that limit their adoption by industry. Depending on the technology, these limitations may include high costs, battery requirements, precice manual installation, high cost, and/or constrictive legislation that regulates their use. A passive soil moisture sensing system based around RFID technology would allay...

  • Design and Implementation of a Wearable Walking Navigation Assistance System for the Vision Impaired

    Creator:
    Sylwester, Sean T.
    Abstract:
    Few navigation-assistance technologies for vision impaired individuals are practical due to inhibiting factors such as cost, comfort, convenience, and overall usefulness of the assistance. This thesis will present the design and implementation of a navigation assistance system intended to address these concerns. The presented system improves on existing technologies by...

  • Engineering a Profiling System for a Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler

    Creator:
    Shannon, Robert J.
    Abstract:
    ROSS (Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler) is an autonomous boat, equipped with oceanographic sensors, used for studying the ocean’s surface. One of its advantages over traditional research vessels is its ability to sample near glaciers, an area too dangerous for manned ships. In order to properly ascertain deep ocean heat’s effect...

  • SIMstat: Hardware Design Considerations for Implementing a Low-Cost, Portable Potentiostat

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Electroanalytical techniques allow scientists and engineers to characterize bulk solutions as well as interfaces. Potentiostats are commonly used by researchers in a variety of disciplines to analyze the chemistry which occurs at a working electrode surface. Advancements in microelectronics and the proliferation of open-source designs have allowed researchers to construct...

  • The sexualization of women in modern film trailers

    Creator:
    Loiselle, Sierra
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...

  • An analysis of control area synchronization on the convergence of distributed state estimators

    Creator:
    Clarke, Blaise
    Abstract:
    This honors undergraduate thesis examines the process of simulating power system state estimation, the use of the alternating direction method of multipliers in the problem of distributed power system state estimation, and provides a rudimentary asynchronous implementation of the above for a linearized DC power system. The asynchronous implementation is...
