Abstract:

When developing network conﬁguration/orchestration applications, it is often convenient to run automated as well as manual tests towards simulated rather than actual hardware devices. Though there exists software of this type, they rarely contain features that can be convenient for testing purposes. The simulation needs to be lightweight, be able to generate special events, and use the NETCONF RPC protocol. This thesis will explain the decisions that were made while developing a simulation software of this type, it will also explain the underlying functionalities and terms associated with the

When buying a new car today customers expect that the safety systems built in the car and its tireswill do its job in every condition. This is especially important when driving on winter roads due to thedecrease in friction between the tire and the road surface.

Abstract:

Currently, Android is the most popular operating system for mobile devices, but at the same time, the market for Android devices is heavily fragmented in terms of available versions, types of devices, models, form-factors and manufactures. As a result, it is virtually impossible to test applications on all existing devices. Testing on a set of the most popular devices is more realistic but can be expensive, which makes it much more difficult for individual developers to create high quality applications. Fortunately, each Android application developer around the world typically owns at least on

Abstract:

A novel optical surface testing method termed the grating-slit test is demonstrated to provide quantitative measurements and a large dynamic measurement range. Although it uses a grating and a slit, as in the traditional Ronchi test, the grating-slit test is different in that the grating is used as the object and the slit is located at the observation plane. This is an arrangement that appears not to have been previously discussed in the optical testing literature. The grating-slit test produces fringes in accordance with the transverse ray aberrations of an aberrated wavefront. By using a spa

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) offer long term therapy to chronic heart failure patients who are ineligible for transplant. However, complications such as infection and thrombosis remain characteristic of VAD therapy. Leukocytes contribute to both infection and thrombosis, but research on the effect VADs have on these cells is limited. Through observing the impact of biomaterial choice, level of shear stress, and overall VAD design on leukocytes, this research has demonstrated the importance of incorporating leukocyte analysis into VAD testing to better understand and reduce complications.

Abstract:

The work presented in this dissertation is focused on the fabrication, integration and test of chemoresistive gas sensor devices and systems based on semiconducting nanowires (NWs). The first objective of this dissertation was to grow monocrystalline In2O3 and Ga2O3 NWs via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism using a chemical vapor deposition furnace and solid precursors. Subsequently devices based on individual NWs were fabricated, contacted on top of microhotplates using Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition (FEBID), and their gas sensing properties were characterized. The gas sensors based

Abstract:

A key problem faced with the implementation of a multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) grid is fault mitigation. One method extensively researched in mitigating a fault in MTDC is to use protection intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and fast direct current circuit breakers (DCCBs). The IEDs are able to detect and identify faults with fault algorithms. In this study overhead line MTDC systems are investigated to identify the best algorithm for overhead line (OHL) MTDC fault mitigation and the resulting algorithm is tested on a protection IED. Three models: short line, long line and combined l

Abstract:

Limited standard mechanical testing practises and stress-strain data are available for anisotropic human skin tissue in biaxial loading configurations to suitably represent skin in vivo. Inconsistencies in mechanical and physical properties in the literature due to numerous physiological factors have restricted development of biaxial testing equipment in laboratories to ad hoc research solutions having limited modifiability and parametric control. This project aims to develop a biaxial tensile testing device and testing platform which can be used in a research laboratory setting to provide a s

Abstract:

Diseases are often diagnosed by detection of disease-specific biomarkers in fluid samples. However, many state-of-the-art detection methods require a lab with complex machinery, trained operators, and/or lengthy analysis time. In contrast, point-of-care (POC) devices are brought to the patient's location, they are easy to use, and results are obtained almost immediately. Many current POC devices are too difficult to be used without a skilled assistant, and although many are able to detect analytes above a threshold value, they give little or no quantitative information. This work presents the

Abstract:

The development of neural stimulations devices may help treat many patients who suffer from migraines and chronic headaches via an electrical stimulation to the patient’s nerve. The electrical stimulation will mask the pain associated with these diseases. The system is subcutaneously implanted into the back of the neck and recharged via inductive coupling. Discussed is the transmission of signals in nerve fibers and the testing involved with neural stimulation implantable devices. Research was performed for preliminary testing on the charging rates, tests to analyze the heat dissipated during
