Physical vapor deposition of novel thin-film solar absorbers

Creator:: Waters, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Current leading thin-film solar cell technologies, i.e., cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), employ elements which are either toxic (Cd), or rare and/or expensive (In, Te, Ga, and Cd). The aim of this thesis is to investigate new, abundant, non-toxic p-type semiconductors for potential solar absorber application....

Foreground signature extraction for a non-linear hyperspectral mixing model

Creator:: Hollis, Jarrod
Abstract:: Hyperspectral images consist of intensity measurements associated with a large number of EM wavelengths per pixel. When a pixel contains a single material, the measurements of the pixel match the spectral signature of the material. When multiple materials are present in a single pixel, spectral mixing occurs, and signatures of...

End-to-end network throughput enhancement through physical-layer network coding

Creator:: Maeouf, Sofean Ahmed
Abstract:: Physical-Layer Network Coding (PNC) is a promising technique that has great potentials for improving the achievable data rates of end-to-end flows through higher packet transmission rates, thereby increasing the overall network throughput. In this thesis, we study the performance of the PNC transmission techniques for unidirectional end-to-end flows in multi-hop...

Performance and parameter prediction of large synchronous machines from physical dimensions

Creator:: Heberle, David D.
Abstract:: A project funded by the Southern California Edison (SCE) Company, Research Center of Irwindale, California, has supported the development of a performance and parameter prediction software program for use during the refurbishment of large synchronous machines, turbine generators, and synchronous condensers. The computer program was developed for SCE to allow...

Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

Creator:: Thompson, Kyle B.
Abstract:: In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...

Development and Implementation of JetNet : A Decentralized Wireless Sensing Protocol

Creator:: Goins, Justin B.
Abstract:: Modern sensor network applications are often implemented wirelessly in order to lessen installation costs and reduce deployment times. Unfortunately, these wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes must often rely on batteries or energy harvesting techniques in order to sustain their operation and supply the power needed to maintain communication within the...

A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

Creator:: Agamloh, Emmanuel B.
Abstract:: Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...

Design and Development of a Low-Cost, High Resolution, High Mobility Acceleration Data Logger

Creator:: Goins, Justin B.
Abstract:: To understand the forces exerted on structures during tsunamis, model cities are subjected to human-generated tsunamis. The study of vertical evacuation, wherein individuals could take refuge in the upper levels of strong buildings, has resulted in a growing need for a low cost wireless acceleration data logger. Such a device...

Atomic layer deposition of nanolaminate high-κ gate dielectrics for amorphous-oxide semiconductor thin film transistors

Creator:: Triska, Joshua B.
Abstract:: Nanolaminate dielectrics combine two or more insulating materials in a many-layered film. These structures can be made to significantly outperform films composed of a single one of their constituent materials by adjusting the composition ratio, arrangement, and size of the component layers. In this work, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is...
