Adjustable speed drive bearing fault detection via support vector machine incorporating feature selection using genetic algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)This dissertation presents a novel method to detect bearing defects in Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD's), which are increasingly used in many commercial and industrial applications. The harmonics in pulse-width-modulation ... -
Distributed resource allocation and performance optimization for video communication over mesh networks based on swarm intelligence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Mesh networking technologies allow a system of communication devices to communicate with each other over a dynamic and self-organizing wired or wireless network from everywhere at anytime. Large-scale mesh communication ... -
A novel ultra-low refractive index nanoporous dielectric based aqueous core waveguide system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)This dissertation presents the fabrication of an on-chip waveguide system capable of guiding light through aqueous solutions. The waveguide relies on total internal reflection for light propagation wherein the core of the ... -
Photoswitch-based Class E microwave power amplifer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Currently radar systems have problems with power losses and efficiency, so more power is used and more heat removal is needed. The primary source of loss is the final amplifier in the transmission-receive (TR) module. The ... -
Spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis of nanoporous low dielectric constant films processed via supercritical carbon dioxide for next-generation microelectronic devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)My research will address issues at the back-end-of-line in microelectronics fabrication, specifically the need for Low-k extendibility. The International Roadmap for Semiconductors (2005) suggested that interconnect ... -
Wearable lip-based electrotactile display : feasibility study, modeling, and system design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] For assisting visually impaired to effectively perceive critical spatial information through the sense of touch, we proposed a wearable lip-based ...
