The purpose of any medical imaging device is to acquire timely diagnostic information in a manner that poses the lowest cost and risk to patients and society. Ideally, medical imaging systems are designed by maximizing ...

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 ...

Caire, Taricco, and Biglieri presented a detailed analysis of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM), a simple and popular technique used to improve system performance, especially in the context of fading channels. They ...

The (24, 12, 8) binary Golay code is proved to be a subfield subcode of a code constructed on the Klein quartic over GF(2 3).
