Velocity Acquisition Methods for Stable Haptic Simulation Systems
Haptic simulation systems enable the perception of virtual environments through the sense of touch. These systems are composed of a haptic device through which an operator interacts with the virtual environment that is ... -
Very High Efficiency Bridgeless Boost Totem-Pole PFC using Gallium Nitride HEMTs
Data centers have become the backbone of the global economy. The electricity demand for data centers grew tremendously over the last ten years. U.S. data centers consumed 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2013 ... -
Viability of Powerline Communication for Smart Grid Realization
(2012-05-01)There is an international effort to develop smart grids to overcome the problems caused by aging power grids. However, to immigrate to the new grid, the IT infrastructure has to be integrated with the current power grid. ... -
Vibrational Feedback Training System for Use with SEMG Controlled Powered Prostheses
(2016-10-01)Loss of limb results in loss of function and a partial loss of freedom. A powered prosthetic device can partially assist an individual with everyday tasks and therefore return some level of independence. Powered upper limb ... -
Visual Localization in Underground Mines and Indoor Environments using PnP
(2016-01-14)This thesis presents a visual technique for localization in underground mines and indoor environments that exploits the use of a calibrated monocular camera. The objective of this work is to provide 6 degrees-of-freedom ... -
Wavelength-Preserving Polarization-Insensitive All-Optical 3R Regenerator Based on Self- and Cross-Phase Modulation and Offset Filtering Utilizing Raman Amplification
(2009-10-19)Optical regeneration has the potential to significantly increase the reach of long-haul transmission systems. In this thesis, wavelength-preserving polarization-insensitive all-optical 3R regeneration is investigated and ... -
Wavelet Frequency-Temporal Relative Phase Pattern of the Surface Electromyogram for Investigation of Intramuscular Synchronization
(2011-09-13)Cross-correlation is often used as the primary technique to compare two biological signals. The cross-correlation technique is an effective means to measure the synchronization of two signals if the relative phases at all ...
