The helicopter is a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system with highly coupled characteristics, which increases the complexity of the system dynamics. In addition, the system dynamics of the helicopter are ...

The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies increased the need for handheld devices that can support dissimilar standards or better user mobility and more battery life. Traditional radio architectures fail ...

A variety of intrusion prevention techniques, such as user authentication (e.g.: using passwords), avoidance of programming errors, and information protection, have been used to protect computer systems. However, intrusion ...

Due to the daily rapid growth of the information, there are considerable needs to extract and discover valuable knowledge from data sources such as the World Wide Web. Most of the common techniques in text mining are ...

Cisco’s embedded logic analyzer module (ELAM) is a debugging device used for many of Cisco’s application specific integrated chips (ASICs). The ELAM is used to capture data of interest to the user and stored for analysis ...

In this thesis, a grid-connected wind-energy converter system including a matrix converter is proposed. The matrix converter, as a power electronic converter, is used to interface the induction generator with the grid and ...

This thesis contributes toward the design of a quality-of-service (QoS) aware network layer for wireless ad hoc networks. With the lack of an infrastructure in ad hoc networks, the role of the network layer is not only to ...

Road safety has been drawing increasing attention in the public, and has been subject to extensive efforts from both industry and academia in mitigating the impact of traffic accidents. Recent advances in wireless technology ...

In particular, the thesis will focus on parameterized networks of discrete-event systems. These are collections of interacting, isomorphic subsystems, where the number of subsystems is, for practical purposes, arbitrary; ...

Centralized power system planning covers time windows that range from ten to thirty years. Consequently, it is the longest and most uncertain part of power system economics. One of the challenges that power system ...
