A wireless ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computing devices that self-configure to form a network independently of any fixed infrastructure. Many wireless ad hoc network devices such as smartphones and tablets ...

The Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital converter (SAR-ADC) is a popular architecture due to its low power, simple design, and reasonable resolution and speed. Due to the prevalence of ADCs in modern hardware, it ...

The presence of defects in outdoor insulators ultimately results in the initiation of partial discharge (PD) activity. Because insulation failure and the consequent breakdown of power equipment can occur due to the cumulative ...

An alternative approach to energy integrating systems is photon counting which provides higher dose efficiency through efficient noise rejection and optimal energy weighting, and, moreover, is not susceptible to memory ...

In this work, we propose Tags, an e cient mechanism that augments microkernel interprocess messages with lightweight metadata to enable the development of new, systemwide functionality without requiring the modi cation ...

Digital imaging systems for medical applications use amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) technology due to its ability to be manufactured over large areas, making it useful for X-ray imaging, which requires imagers ...

Wind generation has become one of the most popular choices of technology for adding new generation capacity to power systems worldwide. Several factors have contributed to the increased integration of wind generation, ...

This dissertation documents alternative designs of the Zero Forcing decoding algorithm with Successive Interference Cancellation (ZF-SIC) for use in Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time Architecture (V-BLAST) ...

To facilitate efficient utilization of limited and expensive frequency spectrum in communication system, fully tunable filters are highly demanded. Realizing an absolute constant bandwidth, a reasonable return loss, and a ...

The wireless industry has seen a tremendous growth in its users over the last decade. This has led the industry to adapt a number of new standards allowing for better use of the scarce and often very fragmented frequency ...
