Spring 2014
Wireless sensing of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP) levels associated with Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, was first proposed in the late 1960’s. While much research has been applied in the intervening time, a suitable commercially available wireless IOP monitoring instrument remains...

Parallel-Node Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Code Encoder and Decoder Architectures
DownloadSpring 2010
We present novel architectures for parallel-node low-density parity-check convolutional code (PN-LDPC-CC) encoders and decoders. Based on a recently introduced implementation-aware class of LDPC-CCs, these encoders and decoders take advantage of increased node-parallelization to simultaneously...

Fall 2011
We demonstrate the feasibility of USB-powered portable genetic amplification. One of the central processes within medical or biological genetic methods is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Through this amplification, more quantities of the specified genetic target can be obtained for analysis and...
