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....

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...

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...
