With the current state of legacy military avionic systems reaching its ceiling in memory space, processing power, and data-bus through-put (bandwidth), a need has arisen to maximize its limited resources to avoid extensive ...
In this report, I offer a technique for computing power sums that is: intuitive, well-motivated, generalizable to all k, and suitable for presentation to pre-calculus students.
This thesis presents design, analysis and simulation of a new current control
scheme for wind power generation system (WPGS). Proportional plus resonance (PR)
controller is proposed to improve the accuracy of the control ...
Due to the increasing environmental and economic cost of fossil fuels, alternative sources of energy are needed. One such source is energy wind energy. Much of the current wind turbine research focuses on large-scale wind ...
The problem facing the United Sates electric power industry today can be attributed to society’s ever increasing demand for energy, environmental concerns with reliance on fossil fuels, and uncertainty about an aging ...
This thesis presents the model of a power conditioning system (PCS) for the
hybrid direct fuel-cell with turbine (DFC/T) power plant. It regulates voltage, current and
power transmitted from the hybrid DFC/T power plant ...
An experimental jet impingement facility was constructed with the capability of conducting a detailed analysis of the local heat transfer coefficients beneath an array of large impinging jets. The facility was validated ...
Helical compression springs are normally used to provide a linear force response to compressive displacement. However, compression springs can be used to provide lateral force and rotational torque responses to lateral and ...
The creation of a capstone course for an un-
dergraduate computer science curriculum mirrors traditional software design. Initially, a high-level goal is created. This is refined into lower-level
specifications by ...
The use of horses as a means of therapy has been documented for some time. To determine why this type of therapy works and to provide a means of expanding its accessibility, a mechanical horse has been developed. Data ...
A new method for the determination of complex permittivity values is explained. The Waveguide-Cutoff method consists of a rectangular chamber with loop antennas for excitation from a Vector Network Analyzer. It then ...
One challenge faced by the engineering discipline in the near future is increased
electric power demand coupled with greater efficiency requirements for power generation
stations. Development of more robust control ...
As the demand for electric power grows and regulations on power plant operation become stricter, the size, and therefore complexity, of new power plant units is increasing while the intricacies of the multiple simultaneous ...
One of the most interesting applications of a new field of mathematics called dynamic equations on time scales is the modeling, analysis and design of distributed control networks. This thesis documents the development ...
Many flows of engineering interest occur over surfaces that exhibit roughness with thermal conductivities much lower than common metals and alloys. This is especially true of in-service gas turbine blades with surface ...
This project investigates m-fold cross-validation algorithms for automatic selection of k with k-nearest neighbors problems. An algorithm taxonomy is used to identify different m-fold cross-validation algorithms. The ...
Impulse C is a C-to-HDL compiler from Impulse Accelerated Technology that facilitates the introduction of software programmers, mathematicians, and scientists, into the realm of FPGA-based algorithm development for high-speed ...
The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the Processor Designer family of tools from CoWare, Inc. Processor Designer uses the L.I.S.A. 2.0 (Language for Instruction Set Architecture) language. The evaluation is being ...
This thesis investigates the tradeoffs associated with typical communication system designs for packetized wireless transmission systems. Communication system design requires judicious selection of source data rate, data ...
This is the software described in the technical report “Event Driven Simulation without Loops or Conditionals” available from this archive. This package is part of the FHDL system and must be installed in your FHDL directory.
