  • Autonomous helicopter systems: design and implementation solutions

    Creator:
    Nguyen, John
    Abstract:
    Creating intelligent robotics is at the cutting edge of technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are of particular interest for surveillance applications. UAVs have the potential to provide quick and cheap aerial data that would be difficult to obtain by conventional means. UAVs also have the ability to navigate without being...

  • Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

    Creator:
    Hughson, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...

  • Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....

  • Experiments into plasma physics

    Creator:
    Smith, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Our research was focused mainly on the field of plasma physics and the creation of plasmas in a laboratory environment. We first began our project with the goal to develop a tabletop Tokamak, a doughnut shaped device that magnetically confines plasmas at pressures greater than one atmosphere. After researching this...

  • A fabrication study of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection

    Creator:
    Chin, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors are versatile devices that can be configured to sense a variety of measurands such as temperature and pressure. The potential use of surface acoustic wave devices for magnetic field detection is explored in this study. Compared to current magnetic field sensors, a sensor based on...

  • Design and preliminary characterization of thermally-actuated pumps utilizing Marangoni and Leidenfrost effects

    Creator:
    Sedler, Stephen Joseph
    Abstract:
    Design and preliminarily characterization of two thermally-actuated pumps is presented in this thesis. The unique feature of both pumps is the presence of periodic asymmetrical structures on the channel walls. Two heat transfer effects are used with surface asymmetry to generate forces that drive the fluid in a preferential direction...
