MEMS and Additively Manufactured Micro-Mechanical Isolator
(2020-07-14)
The purpose of the research effort was the development and evaluation of mechanical
isolators. Some MEMS sensors have a known vulnerability to high frequency vibrations in various
environments. The nature of the ...
Effects of Lithographic Parameters and Geometric Exposure Method for Corner Rounding Correction in Massively-Parallel Electron-Beam Systems for the Mask Pattern Development
(2020-07-21)
The ability of electron-beam (e-beam) lithography to transfer fine features onto a substrate
is essential in many applications where high-resolution devices need to be fabricated. However,
its low throughput has been the ...
Nonequilibrium Laser-Based Synthesis of Nanoparticle Ensembles
(2020-11-17)
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have grabbed tremendous interest in the recent years because of their exotic electrical and optical properties, which make them potential candidates for next-generation electronics and ...
Power control, Neighbor Discovery, and Backup Scheme for Emerging Wireless Networks
(2020-08-04)
With the booming wireless applications and services there has been a drastic increase in mobile data in recent years, as observed in several industrial white papers (e.g., Cisco Visual Network Index Report and Qualcomm’s ...
Marine Hydrokinetic Power Plant: Software Simulation for Voltage Flicker Mitigation
(2020-07-28)
In a marine hydrokinetic (MHK) power generation such as a tidal and river power generation, the nature of water flow (i.e., water turbulence) and the grid condition can induce voltage fluctuations or flicker at the power ...
Analysis of Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Frequency Support
(2021-03-02)
Flywheels have been used to store energy in rotation for centuries. However, they were previously not suited for storing electrical energy because of their lower operating speed. However, with AC to DC converters, the ...
Engineering Standards and Ethics in Automated Biometrics
(2021-04-14)
This work explores a two-part question: (1) what are the most recent engineering standards that govern AI development and implementation in the field of biometrics and (2) what ethical implications do they have for society? ...
Design and Implementation of High Performance Pipelined SAR ADC for Wireless Communications
(2021-04-16)
As the process keeps scaling down, successive approximation register (SAR) architecture becomes an attractive candidate in low-power, moderate-speed A/D converter (ADC) due its mostly digital operation. For high speed ...
Methods for Improving Visual Terrain Relative Navigation for Dynamic Aerial Systems
(2021-04-26)
One popular means of aerial localization and navigation in GPS-denied environments is visual terrain relative navigation. Terrain relative navigation involves performing image registration with sensed aerial camera imagery ...
Lasso Based Schemes for Solar Energy Forecasting
(2021-05-06)
The smart grid (SG) has emerged as an important form of the Internet of Things (IoT). Despite the high promises of renewable energy in the SG, it brings about great challenges to the existing power grid due to its nature ...
