  • Renewable Energy in the Pacific Northwest - Technical and Economic Analysis of 100% Renewable Portfolios, including Seasonality Impacts and Potential Applications of Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Harpool, Scott
    Abstract:
    Renewable electrical energy sources are relatively easy to integrate at moderate penetrations, utilizing a combination of technical and market methods to increase grid flexibility. However, integrating high renewable portfolios is more challenging, and the optimal combination of resources will vary depending on the features of specific geographic areas. This study...

  • PRONTO : a product term reduction approach

    Creator:
    Martinez-Carballido, Jorge Francisco
    Abstract:
    Regular structures such as PLA's are very important to reduce VLSI design time. Interest in CAD tools such as a practical reducing PLA generator is high. This dissertation presents PRONTO as a practical, near-optimal product term reduction method, whose general heuristic approach consists of the following four steps. First, select...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • 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...

  • Pattern recognition of speech using hybrid computer feature extraction

    Creator:
    Herr, Alan Jack
    Abstract:
    Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations have been solved and are well documented in both the contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information content of speech. The work...

  • Wireless Charging System Using Inductive Coupling

    Creator:
    Waters, Allen T.
    Abstract:
    A wireless power transfer system using inductive coupling was designed and implemented as part of a three-member project team. The system uses coupled magnetic fields at a frequency of 606kHz to transfer electromagnetic energy from a charging base to the batteries of portable devices. It succeeded in transmitting power to...
