A neural network face detector design using bit-width reduced FPU in FPGA
Lee, Yongsoon (2007-02-02)This thesis implemented a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based face detector using a neural network (NN), as well as a bit-width reduced floating-point unit (FPU). An NN was used to easily separate face data and ... -
Optimization in multi-relay wireless networks
Nguyen, Huu Ngoc Duy (2009)The concept of cooperation in communications has drawn a lot of research attention in recent years due to its potential to improve the efficiency of wireless networks. This new form of communications allows some users to ... -
Out-of-step Protection Using Energy Equilibrium Criterion in the Time Domain
Paudyal, Sumit (2008)Disturbances in power systems are common and they result in electromechanical oscillations called power swing. The power swings could be severe and it may lead to loss of synchronism among the interconnected generators. ... -
An ownership-base message admission control mechanism for curbing spam
Geng, Hongxing (2007-09-04)Unsolicited e-mail has brought much annoyance to users, thus, making e-mail less reliable as a communication tool. This has happened because current email architecture has key limitations. For instance, while it allows ... -
Power system dynamic enhancement using phase imbalance series capacitive compensation and doubly fed induction generator-based wind farms
Zhang, Jiping (2013-04-16)ABSTRACT Wind energy is among the fastest growing renewable energy technologies in the world that has been increasing by about 30% a year globally. Wind energy has proven to be a clean, abundant and completely renewable ... -
Pre-processing of tandem mass spectra using machine learning methods
Ding, Jiarui (2009)Protein identification has been more helpful than before in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and HIV. Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for protein identification. In a ... -
Reification of network resource control in multi-agent systems
Liu, Chen (2006-08-25)In multi-agent systems [1], coordinated resource sharing is indispensable for a set of autonomous agents, which are running in the same execution space, to accomplish their computational objectives. This research presents ... -
Sensor placement for microseismic event location
Errington, Angus Frank Charles (2006-10-26)Mining operations can produce highly localized, low intensity earthquakes that are referred to as microseismic events. Monitoring of microseismic events is useful in predicting and comprehending hazards, and in evaluating ... -
Signal Processing Methods for Heart Rate Detection Using the Seismocardiogram
Mafi, Mahsa 1988- (2016-09-23)Cardiac diseases are one of the major causes of death. Heart monitoring/diagnostic techniques have been developed over decades to address this concern. Monitoring a vital sign such as heart rate is a powerful technique for ... -

State estimation, system identification and adaptive control for networked systems
Fang, Huazhen (2009)A networked control system (NCS) is a feedback control system that has its control loop physically connected via real-time communication networks. To meet the demands of `teleautomation', modularity, integrated diagnostics, ... -
Trajectory/temporal planning of a wheeled mobile robot
Waheed, Imran (2006-12-22)In order for a mobile robot to complete its task it must be able to plan and follow a trajectory. Depending on the environment, it may also be necessary to follow a given velocity profile. This is known as temporal planning. ... -
Transmission of vector quantization over a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading CDMA channel
Nguyen, Son Xuan (2005-12-08)Recently, the transmission of vector quantization (VQ) over a code-division multiple access (CDMA) channel has received a considerable attention in research community. The complexity of the optimal decoding for VQ in CDMA ... -
Turn-to-turn fault detection in transformers using negative sequence currents
Babiy, Mariya (2010-09)A power transformer is one of the most important and expensive components in any power system. Power transformers can be exposed to a wide variety of abnormal conditions and faults. Internal turn-to-turn faults are the ...
