  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • A multi-media presentation system for control oriented local area networks (COLAN)

    Creator:
    So, Dennis
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the new integrated circuit technology has spawned the development of many low cost high performance microcontrollers. With the improvement in the processor speed, instruction sets, and memory capacities, these microcontrollers are ideal for the implementation of Control-Oriented Local Area Networks (COLAN) for real-time distributed control systems. The...

  • Multi-media presentation system based on a distributed control network

    Creator:
    Baily, Albert L.
    Abstract:
    Control oriented local area networks (COLANs) are being installed in factories at an increasing rate. Traditionally, process control has operated with a master scheduler (computer) monitoring a number of points in a control grid. As the complexity of today's process control needs grow, the need to process information locally increases....

  • A Microgrid Design Case Study : Synchrophasor Placement and Development of a Protection Laboratory for the Oregon State University - Corvallis Campus

    Creator:
    Huo, Chen
    Abstract:
    In the past two years, Oregon State University (OSU) Corvallis campus suffered several power outages. The estimated cost of one of those outages was close to a million dollars worth of equipment and impact on research projects. Meanwhile, the campus grid operates with severely aging power assets. The reliability of...

  • A computer simulation model of land use dynamics in the State of Oregon

    Creator:
    Calligan, C. C.
    Abstract:
    The dynamics of land use in the State of Oregon are simulated on a digital computer. The introductory chapter outlines the complex nature of the problems facing the post-industrial society and argues that the scientific and professional estates share in the responsibility for public policy formulation. The second chapter .presents...

  • Ensuring quality of service in ad-hoc wireless networks using the concept of active nodes

    Creator:
    Rajogpalan, Santosh
    Abstract:
    The problem of ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) on a TCP/IP based fixed-infrastructure network has been well studied and several working proposals exist. An allied problem is that of ensuring QoS on an ad-hoc wireless network, where the requirements are similar, but the operating conditions are different enough to warrant...

  • Ultra-wideband indoor localization systems

    Creator:
    Ye, Ruiqing
    Abstract:
    Indoor localization systems have a variety of applications such as tracking of assets, indoor robot navigation, and monitoring of people (e.g. patients) in hospitals or at home. Global positioning system (GPS) offers location accuracy of several meters and is mainly used for outdoor location-based applications as its accuracy degrades significantly...

  • Rapid Grid State Estimation using Singular Value Decomposition

    Creator:
    Kulkarni, Janhavi
    Abstract:
    Synchrophasor technology has gained great momentum with the widely adopted concept of smart grids in power systems at transmission and generation level. This has led to an improved state estimation of a power system with the advent of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). PMUs contribute in providing real-time information about the...
