Spring 2015
Radiofrequency (RF) coils are a substantial part of Magnetic Resonance Imaging System. Microstrip transmission line (MTL) coils are widely used as they have a low coupling between array elements and negligible radiation loss. Matching and tuning capacitors are usually soldered to MTL coils in...

A Comparative Analytical Study on Low-Voltage Ride-Through Reference-Current-Generation (LVRT-RCG) Strategies in Converter-Interfaced DER Units
DownloadSpring 2015
Mohammadalizadeh Shabestary, Masoud
Recently, riding through grid faults and supporting the grid voltage under faults have become major requirements in distributed energy resource (DER) units. There have been also extensive efforts in academia and industry to develop and implement control strategies to ride through voltage...

Spring 2015
Standard large-sensor-array-based camera designs are uneconomical when imaging with exotic wavelengths that require expensive photodetectors. The single-pixel camera allows image acquisition with only one sensor; however, its compressive sampling rate is too low to reliably acquire video...

Cooper: Expedite Batch Data Dissemination in Computer Clusters with Coded Permutation Gossips
DownloadSpring 2015
Data transfers happen frequently in server clusters for software and application deployment, and in parallel computing clusters to transmit parameters in batches among servers between computation stages. This thesis presents Cooper, an optimized prototype system to speedup multi-batch data...
