Characterizing hip motion during activities of daily living.
(2017-07-27)
In the United States alone, 332,000 people received a total hip replacement (THR) each year [1 – need to reattach ref]. Following a total hip arthroplasty, doctors get asked by their patients if they can still do particular ...
Multidimensional power amplifier circuit optimizations for adaptive radar.
(2017-03-30)
As wireless technology and dynamic spectrum allocation continue to proliferate, the ability to
dynamically reconfigure radar transmitter power amplifiers will become necessary for adaptive
radar. Reconfigurable ...
The effects of fiber orientation on stiffness and thermal expansion of large volume, anisotropic, short-fiber, composite material fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication.
(2017-09-14)
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a rapidly improving 3D printing technology that can be used for manufacturing complex parts. The properties of these parts can be improved by adding short-fibers to the polymer feedstock. ...
Experimental investigation of a time scales-based stability criterion over finite time horizons.
(2017-03-28)
Feedback control systems that employ large area networks or other unpredictable or unreliable communications protocols between sensors, actuators, and controllers may experience non-uniform sampling characteristics. Previous ...
Wireless propagation channel modeling and antenna design for on-body applications.
(2017-01-26)
The Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is promising in a variety of applications such as remote health monitoring and assisted living. A typical WBAN consists of wearable body sensor units (BSU) and a body control unit ...
Nondestructive inspection and characterization of complex engineering materials via ultrasound techniques.
(2017-06-19)
Nondestructive evaluation methods have grown increasingly popular and necessary in a variety of industries. For example, the aerospace industry uses such techniques to inspect aircraft components for damage prior to making ...
Measuring ice accretion with a microwave radiometer.
(2017-03-30)
Ice accretion inside jet engines is a major threat to modern aviation. Ice crystals in the atmosphere can be ingested by turbofan jet engines and build up inside reducing airflow through the engine. A reliable method to ...
The observation of phase state and temperature using noninvasive ultrasonic waves.
(2017-01-18)
There are many ways to obtain temperature measurements and observe phase changes, but most rely on physical contact or a line-of-sight path with the material. Many industries ranging from oil and gas to food and beverage ...
Governor control optimization of hydro power plants using hybrid fuzzy logic and PID control.
(2017-07-07)
Control of hydro power plants has been an issue of concern for researchers; moreover, more emphasis has always been put on governor control which naturally has slower response, but vital in ensuring system stability and ...
An investigation of observed Algorithmic Specified Complexity.
(2017-11-16)
Two experiments were carried out to investigate how Algorithmic Specified Complexity (ASC) might serve as a tool, specifically in the area of classification AI, and how well the theory around it predicts the characteristics ...
