Humans can follow moving objects and grasp an object of interest starting from early childhood. To grasp an object successfully, one needs to be able to recognize the object of interest against its background. If the ...

A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) device filled with noble gases emits visible light when AC source is applied. In a planar DBD device, generation of micro-filaments can be observed with unpredictable pattern. However ...

Recently, the study of the propagation of plasma packet which is localized ionization region in microchannel array plasma has been discussed in LOPE. For the detail information of these phenomena, supported by Professor ...

Modulation of the plasma sheath in a plasma bipolar junction transistor (PBJT) is observed for base inputs of less than one volt. Using the recorded data, along with a collisional, high-voltage sheath model developed herein, ...

Since the ionosphere was discovered in the 1920s, numerous and diverse experiments have been conducted to classify this region of the upper atmosphere. Radar, satellites, rockets, ionosondes, global positioning system ...

Power electronics today are limited in their operational lifetimes, which can have negative consequences for critical systems which depend on power electronic to stay functional. To help mitigate the effects of system ...

Abstract Observer-based methods can be used for fault detection and isolation for switched linear systems. A state observer is constructed based on the physical system. Changes in the observer error are monitored to detect ...

This thesis presents an implementation of an office delivery robot. First, it provides motivation for this type of project and discusses the abilities a successful delivery robot must possess. Next, the robot used for ...
