  • Polyion sensors based on induced ion extraction

    Creator:
    Fordyce, Katherine
    Abstract:
    A novel method for detecting the peptidase activity of clinically relevant peptidases was investigated using solid-contact electrochemical polyion sensors under chronopotentiometric control. Complete instrumental control over ion-extraction was accomplished by incorporating a lipophilic electrolyte into the ion-selective membrane; the sensors had no intrinsic ion-exchange capabilities. The sensors were used to...

  • 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...

  • Electric Machine Capability Characterization for Actuators in Disaster Response Robots

    Creator:
    Li, Qianyun
    Abstract:
    Disaster response robots need to be simultaneously able to survive extreme environment and complete the mission efficiently and robustly. One of the determinants is the performance of the actuators in each joint, which drive the robot to the desired motion accurately. In robotics society, people usually build their robots directly...

  • CytoSensor : system integration and human interface design

    Creator:
    Kiettrisalpipop, Voranon
    Abstract:
    CytoSensor system integration and design is driven by requirements generated by the need to complete biological experiment operations. The system is used for toxin-based detection which will identify and quantify unknown input toxins by using a biosensor based on a living fish chromatophore. The system consists of 3 main parts:...

  • Optical Sensors using Biological Photonic Crystals

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth James
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the application of diatom frustules, the biosilica shell of an algae possessing physical and photonic properties capable of enhancing optical signals, for the enhancement of optical sensing. In this work, we incorporate diatom frustules into biosensors for signal enhancement and improved target molecule detection. The potential...

  • Polymeric submicron optical ion-selective sensors

    Creator:
    Bychkova, Valeriya
    Abstract:
    Ion-selective polymeric optical sensors – ion optodes – are a promising alternative to ion-selective electrodes and fluorescent dyes for analytical and biological applications, e.g. extra- and intracellular measurements. They are non-toxic, highly selective robust probes for ionic fluxes monitoring. A large-scale fabrication of ion optodes using a solvent displacement method...

  • Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
    Abstract:
    This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...

  • CMOS-Integrated Single-Element Thermal Flow Sensors

    Creator:
    Clocker, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Flow rate sensors for in situ gas or liquid monitoring typically comprise multiple transducer elements, including a heater and one or more temperature sensors to measure the rate of heat energy removal by the flowing fluid. The need for multiple transducer elements limits feasibility of shrinking these sensors to microfluidic...

    Creator:
    Minzlaff, Jade
    Abstract:
    The anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is a commonly prescribed drug that is used to treat patients with neurological disorders including epilepsy and bi-polar disorder. CBZ has a narrow range of efficacy: Below the therapeutic dose, seizures and other conditions are not controlled, and above the recommended window, patients experience side...
