  • Novel power conditioning circuits for piezoelectric micro power generators

    Creator:
    Han, Jifeng
    Abstract:
    Advanced low power devices promote the development of micro power generators (MPGs) to replace the batteries to power them. Due to the trend in decreasing integrated circuit (IC) supply voltages, power supply designers are facing more and more serious challenges. The objective of this research is to design a power...

  • A survey of power systems vulnerability and failures on the Pacific Northwest due to natural disasters with a focus on volcanic activity.

    Creator:
    Tafempa Messa, Winnie
    Abstract:
    Electricity is at the center of attention as today many essential systems (water, gas, communications, and the internet for example) and infrastructures depend on its continuity for their smooth functioning. On the other hand, electricity power networks have developed and became large, and highly complex technical systems, geographically extended, requiring...

  • Large Scale Tensor Decomposition Algorithms Using Block-randomized Stochastic Proximal Gradient

    Creator:
    Gao, Cheng
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of computing the cannonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) for large-scale dense tensors. This work is a combination of alternating least squares and fiber sampling. Data sparsity can be leveraged to handle large tensor CPD, but this route is not feasible for dense data. Inspired by stochastic optimization's...

  • SIMstat: Wireless, Highly-Reconfigurable Electrochemical Analog Front-End for Point-of-Care Diagnostics and Continuous Monitoring

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Within the past decade, the continued-scaling of CMOS processes and improvements in industry mixed-signal integrated-circuit designs have enabled a rapid decrease in the cost, form-factor, and power for point-of-care diagnostics and electrochemical instrumentation. Similarly, advances in low-power RF designs have prompted entire System-on-Modules supporting widely varied Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The...

  • Raising Cain : A Novel

    Creator:
    Sheen, Sarah
    Abstract:
    A Confederate soldier turned cowboy, fresh off the front lines of the Civil War, Cain Bradshaw is a hard man who keeps to himself, content to work the cattle train and bury himself in the oblivion offered by the wilds of the scarcely tamed West. But when dumb chance and...

  • Designing and Building a Bluetooth Controlled Blimp with Autonomous Capabilities

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Thomas
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of a Bluetooth controlled blimp with autonomous capabilities through Dead Reckoning. Reasonable research was conducted on current autonomous systems, wireless communication techniques, and suitable microprocessors that could handle the required processing. Building a remotecontrolled blimp requires a light understanding of mechanics to build...

  • Leveraging Multiple Transmissions and Receptions for Channel-Agnostic Wireless Device Identification

    Creator:
    Basha, Nora
    Abstract:
    Enabling accurate and automated identification of wireless devices is critical for ensuring secure and authenticated data communication in large-scale networks such as IoT networks. In the aim of devising practical identification techniques that are immune to spoofing, hardware-driven RF fingerprinting using deep neural networks, which leverages the inevitable presence of...

  • Demonstration of Indoor Localization of Miniature Objects Using Wireless-PoweredUltra-Wideband Tags

    Creator:
    Su, Leon
    Abstract:
    Wireless localization of objects is useful for several applications that require the knowledge of position of objects or people. Additionally, power extraction from wireless signals eliminates the need for wires or any physical connections for charging. This project is based on system-level testing of an integrated circuit (IC) that combines...

  • Evaluating the Effects of System Operators’ Response on the Propagation of PowerSystem Cascading Failures

    Creator:
    Hennessy, Conor F.
    Abstract:
    The majority of power system cascading models assume that system operators will react perfectly and timely to an electrical event. However, as evidenced by several blackouts in the last decades, the inadequate system operators’ situation awareness and response can contribute significantly to the severity of an electrical disturbance. Under these...
