Radio Frequency Induced Heating of a Medical Device with Vascular Flow Conditions
Scandling, Benjamin ( 2016-05 )Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a tool used to scan more than 40 million U.S. patients every year, but a major concern exists with the safety of patients with implanted medical devices. When implanted medical devices ... -
Rapid Synthesis in a Microcombustion Environment and Transfer Process Development for Few Layer Graphene
Silleck, Alexander ( 2013-08 )Graphene is a nanomaterial that consists of a carbon monolayer (one atom thick) arranged in the graphitic structure. Since the 2004 discovery of graphene as a material useful for applications using nanotechnology, there ... -
Real-time computer control of a high-performance, series elastic, articulated jumping leg
Curran, Simon ( 2005-08 )A lightweight, small-scale, prototype mechanical leg was developed with the intent of being used in a quadrupedal machine capable of a planar gallop. In contrast with wheeled vehicles, robotic quadrupeds do not require a ... -
REAL-TIME COMPUTER CONTROL OF A PROTOTYPE BIPEDAL SYSTEM
Wensing, Patrick ( 2009-06 )While much work in the area of robotics has attempted to replicate the power and agility of biological locomotion in a physical system, even the most impressive prototypes to date are functionally very simple in comparison ... -
Real-Time Control of Cycling in a High-Performance Leg With Series-Elastic Actuation
Birkmeyer, Paul ( 2007-06 )A high-performance, lightweight prototype robotic leg using series-elastic actuation was developed in previous work to study the effects of series-elastic actuation in vertical jumping. However, there was also a desire to ... -
Real-Time Hardware Implementation of Telephone Speech Enhancement Algorithm
Obnamia, Forrest ( 2013-05 )Hearing impairment detrimentally affects communication over the telephone. Since phone lines reduce bandwidth and dynamic range, the poor quality speech signal can cause hard of hearing (HoH) listeners to experience extreme ... -
Real-time Modeling of Battery Pack Temperature for Thermal Limit Prevention in Electric Race Vehicles
Brodsky, Polina ( 2016-05 )As the automotive industry moves towards reducing CO2 emissions, battery powered electric vehicles are becoming a commercial reality. Though Lithium ion battery technology has significantly improved with recent research ... -
Real-time Motion Planning For Autonomous Car in Multiple Situations Under Simulated Urban Environment
Wang, Xinyu ( 2020-05 )Advanced autonomous cars have revolutionary meaning for the automobile industry. While more and more companies have already started to build their own autonomous cars, no one has yet brought a practical autonomous car into ... -
Real-time Tracking for Assisted Living
Al Sabbagh, MHD Zaher ( 2006-03 )This paper is intended to explain and present our research on a real-time tracking and locating system for an indoor environment. The paper includes the description and implementation of each part of this system, and the ... -
Reconfigurable Flood Wall Inspired by Architected Origami
Luce, Benjamin ( 2020-05 )Recent interest in the art of origami has opened a wide range of engineering applications and possibilities. Shape changing structures based on origami have had a large influence on the drive for efficient, sustainable ... -
Reducing Interfacial Resistance in Garnet-Structured Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li, Xinjie ( 2020-05 )While the development of conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has reached mature stage, a number of battery researchers are already looking forward to replace the liquid electrolytes in conventional lithium-ion ... -
Reduction of Startup Emissions for an Alternative Fueled Engine
Ward, Jason ( 2013-05 )The reduction of emission gasses being released into the atmosphere remains an important research area in the automotive industry. In hybrid vehicle applications such as EcoCAR, engine stop/start can saturate the oxygen ... -
Regional Dynamic Viscoelastic Properties of Porcine Sclera
Artz, Jared ( 2016-05 )The biomechanical properties of the posterior sclera are thought to be important in glaucoma susceptibility. Assessment of the posterior sclera biomechanics is currently unavailable in vivo but methods are being developed ... -
A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Autonomous Eco-Driving
Pi, Jianzong ( 2020-05 )Eco-driving involves adaptively changing the speed of the vehicle to ensure minimal fuel consumption. We pose this problem within the framework of Markov decision problem with discounted reward. The key difficulty lies in ... -
Relationships Between Simple Gait Parameters of Healthy Adults and Pre- and Post-Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients
Delventhal, Brooke ( 2018-12 )The way that people walk can change as a function of age and the progression of disease. Previous research has shown that older people tend to walk with a slower speed, exert more control at the hip joint, and exhibit ... -
