  • Analog to digital converter for UWB short range indoor radar system 

    Gottipati, Shravya, 1986 (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this project the analog-to-digital converter is designed for an ultra-wideband short-range radar (UWBSRR) health-event monitoring system. The input ...

  • Energy scavenging from the human body for powering prosthetics [abstract] 

    Abraham, Ryan; Smilkstein, Tina Harriet (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    Our research centers on extending battery life of electronic prosthetics by constantly recharging their batteries with energy scavenged from the body. There are many projects in existence where energy has been scavenged ...

  • General purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed 

    Tati, Kiran Kumar (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    We developed a "General Purpose Evolutionary Algorithm Testbed" through which a wide variety of evolutionary algorithms can be implemented in hardware, quickly and with a little hardware knowledge. A user interface allows ...

  • GUI for debugging and development of reconfigurable, evolving systems enabled by embedded hardware blocks 

    Sajjapongse, Kittisak (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    A flexible hardware testbed for Evolutionary Computation is developed in our research. The purpose is to realize a system with an ability to implement a wide variety of Evolutionary Computation applications. In this ...

  • Implementation of finite impulse response (FIR) filter as test application on general purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed system 

    Barve, Parashar (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A 19th order Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is implemented as a test application for Gpeat, a general purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed. ...

  • Introduction of low noise amplifier for ultra-wideband radar receiver 

    Zhang, Shu, 1985- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years, taking care of the older population demands a greater degree of versatility in healthcare. Automatic monitoring devices and sensors ...

  • Processing brainwaves for hand-free control of devices [abstract] 

    Pratte, Bryan; Macdonald, Kevin; Smilkstein, Tina Harriet (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    We have built a system to observe and analyze brainwaves for use in controlling devices such as wheelchairs and electronic prosthetics bypassing a need for the user to have use of their hands and/or other limbs. The system ...

  • Water flow sensor for eldercare [abstract] 

    Nevels, Matthew; Smilkstein, Tina Harriet (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    Changes in hygiene habits can be an early indicator of mental and/or physical decline in elders. Since personal hygiene activity accounts for much of the water use in a home, and since much of this activity happens in ...
