Super-Hydrophobic and Super-Oleophobic Barrier Coating for Electronic Devices
Background:The electronics industry aims to deliver flexible, lightweight and inexpensive electronic products to consumers. The absence of effective barrier technologies meeting the water permeability demands is the single largest technical hurdle preventing the widespread commercialization of products such as organic solar cells (OPV), disposable or...
Sample Collection, Annotation, Archiving, Analysis and Distribution System (SCAAAD)
BackgroundCurrent data collection and archiving methods are time-consuming and error-prone. Field scientists and technicians must carry a wide variety of sampling devices that inherently lack the ability to communicate with each other - often relying on a pen-and-paper system of recording and annotation. Further, when they exit the field and return...
An Asymmetrical Wireless Communication Transceiver
BackgroundExisting solutions for short range wireless communications between a host device and a number of user devices (or sensor nodes) are characterized by the symmetrical designs of their transceiver capabilities. The digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms necessary for channel equalization, compensation and synchronization require a substantial...
Integrated Wireless System with Concurrent Locationing, Tracking and Communication for Location Based Applications
BackgroundPosition location technology has become increasingly important to a very broad spectrum of industry sectors, from transportation to healthcare, where accurate position location is desired under diverse circumstances. GPS is effective and accurate outdoors but works very poorly, if at all, indoors and in complex urban environments due to severe...
An Adaptive Wireless Transmission Protocol to Maximize Allocation of the Radio Spectrum
BackgroundToday's prevalence of multimedia communication devices places a high demand on wired and wireless communication systems. The wide range of user applications and requirements, coupled with the fast variation of wireless channels, places added pressure on the already overcrowded and inefficiently allocated conventional radio spectrum. User mobility,...
An Embeddable Security Protocol to Address Vulnerabilities Inherent in Wireless Networks
Background:Wireless communication networks are now facing various risks of intrusion and attacks due to their lack of a physical association between the transmitter and legitimate receiver. The traditional methods to address these security issues are to use the higher layers of the OSI model which include conventional authentication and cryptographic...
A Magneto-Rheological-Based Actuation System
Background:With current means of actuation, very few options exist that provide multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) and move independently without the addition of multiple motors. For instance, conventional means of safely actuating robotic devices involve the use of specially modified servo motors at each joint to control motion. In most applications...
A Magneto-Rheological-Based Clutch System for Robots
Background:The new frontier in the development of industrial automation lies in the area of small and medium enterprises where robots will be required to work in close proximity to human counterparts. Conventional means of safely actuating robotic devices involve the use of specially modified servo motors at each joint to control motion, in conjunction...
