Motor Controls: a Neural-Network
The Problem:
Motor controller technology exists, yet current approaches each have inhibiting flaws (i.e.. standard lookup tables are time-consuming, occupy large memory usage, and have little control accuracy). While driving a car, different speeds translate into torque, and current leading methods convert torque inefficiently.
The Solution:
Utilize...

Methods for Modeling Water Quality
The Problem:
Monitoring and mapping inland water quality is critical for sustainability of water supplies for human consumption, agriculture, industry, and other economic activities. In previous studies, empirical models have been widely used to map water quality parameters for inland waters using remotely sensed imagery. Due to the complex optical...

Portable Impedance Based Chemical Sensor
The Problem:
Current chemical sensors (which are used to help detect toxic materials and explosives) are not highly selective or sensitive to detecting the target compounds. This is largely due to non-selective methodologies like DC resistivity. Additionally, they typically weigh more than forty pounds and cost over a hundred thousand dollars. Therefore,...

Artificial Neural Network for Volt/Var Control of Smart Inverters at Grid Edge
The Problem:
As more homes are fitted with solar panels or other renewable energy sources, the network of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) becomes large and more complex. Due to irregularities in the power supplied by these resources, the power grid needs a mechanism to ensure it is always producing a voltage within a pre-specified range.
The Solution:
Researchers...

Vehicle Occupant Detection Warning Device
The Problem:
Due to the need for movement in the location of the device, the current active child safety devices require the child to be present over a sensor that is placed beneath the child and a car safety seat. As such, it has been found that the current technology experiences false positives due to the requirement of movement in the child car...

Diamond-Chain Routing Protocol in Wireless Networks Equipped with Multi-Beam Smart Antennas
The Problem:
Currently, multi-hop wireless routing searches for the shortest single path using only one beam of the multi-beam antenna, which wastes the throughput of the other beams. Due to complicated communication conditions created by the use of the multiple beams, some of the beams in the current technology indefinitely remain in a listening mode,...

Multi-Layer Integrated Unequal Error Protection with Optimal Parameter Determination
The Problem:
The existing products use EEP schemes instead of UEP schemes as well as different raptor codes and algorithms. The problems associated with these products lie in video distortion and inability to produce a clear video over certain connections. The advantage of UEP schemes give a more reliable and clear video feed over a broader range of...

Sparse Linear Array Approach in Automotive Radars Using Matrix Completion
The Problem:
The traditional approach of using uniform linear array are expensive. In order to reduce costs that are associated with grating lobe issues, researchers and industrial companies are using prediction and interpolation. However, these methods only work to a certain extent while the proposed algorithm can complete missing elements in more...
