  • A graphic user interface for monophonic music analysis

    Creator:
    Matos G., Soraya J.
    Abstract:
    A Graphic User Interface is developed to determine the existence of a particular sequence of piano notes within a monophonic sound waveform. Such waveforms are recorded within the Graphic User Interface and then passed to the monophonic analysis engine. The first phase of analysis segments the PCM sound data to...

  • 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...

  • Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...

  • Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

    Creator:
    Aboufazeli, Mahtab
    Abstract:
    Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...

  • Efficient wireless security protocols based on elliptic curve cryptography

    Creator:
    Aydos, Murat
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) have received attention due to their increased security with smaller key size which brings the advantage of less storage area and less bandwidth. Elliptic curve cryptography provides a methodology for obtaining high-speed, efficient, and scalable implementations of network security protocols. In addition...

  • Rapid bidirectional power flow of supercapacitor bank energy storage through grid-tied inverters for improved renewables integration

    Creator:
    Bostrom, Arne
    Abstract:
    The variable output of renewables such as wind and solar causes fluctuations of power flow that can adversely affect power system operation, especially at high levels of penetration. The coordination of multiple energy storage solutions can mitigate integration challenges by providing a buffer from variable renewables. This thesis presents the...

  • Autonomous Sensor Systems For Wind Turbine Blade Collision Detection

    Creator:
    Clocker, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Wind turbines serve an increasing proportion of total energy generation, with expanded onshore and offshore installations proceeding worldwide. Continued construction, expansion, and operation of wind energy installations must be managed in conjunction with effects on local and migratory wildlife, specifically bird and bat species that may be affected by wind...

  • Energy-efficient clock generation for communication and computing systems using injection locking

    Creator:
    Ma, Chao
    Abstract:
    The design of high-performance, high-speed clock generation and distribution becomes challenging in terms of phase noise, jitter and power consumption, due to the fast development of communication and computing systems. Injection locking is a promising clocking technique since it can significantly improve the energy efficiency, suppress the phase noise of...

  • Hardware realization of OCB mode for efficient authenticated encryption

    Creator:
    Al Faresi, Ahmed
    Abstract:
    Authenticated-Encryption modes of operation have recently received great atten- tion amongst researchers. Such modes of operation provide both privacy and authentic- ity. A proposed mode in this category is the Offset Codebook mode (OCB) by Rogaway et al. This mode shows great substantial advantages over conventional modes. In the past...
