Furse, Cynthia M. | Feasibility of reflectometry for nondestructive evaluation of prestressed concrete anchors | Concrete dams and other large civil structures utilize steel cable anchors to improve strength and stability. Reflectometry methods that have been used for location of faults in electrical systems are examined as a possible method for location and quantization of possible deterioration on concrete ... | Concrete anchors; Steel cable anchors; Reflectometry; Nondestructive evaluation; Spectral time-domain reflectometry | 2009-11 |

Furse, Cynthia M. | Reflectometry for structural health monitoring | Aging wiring and structural cables in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. are among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a subs... | | 2011-01-01 |

Harrison, Reid R. | Power, clock, and data recovery in a wireless neural recording device | For many medical applications, neural recording systems should be fully implantable. Transcutaneous wires must be compleley eliminated, and this necessitates the wireless transfer of power, clock and configuration data to the device. We have developed, fabricated, and tested cirucits that recover po... | | 2006 |

Furse, Cynthia M. | Down to the wire | As today's military and commercial aircraft age past their teen years, the many kilometers of wiring buried deep within their structures begin to crack and fray. Once thought to be rare and benign, such faults are found by the hundreds in a typical aircraft. Unlike obvious cracks in a wing or an e... | Aging wiring; Wire fault location; Aging wire detection; Smart wire systems | 2001-01-01 |

Mathews, V. John | Parallel-cascade realizations and approximations of truncated volterra systems | Abstract- This correspondence introduces parallel-cascade realizations of truncated Volterra systems with an arbitrary but finite order of nonlinearity. Parallel-cascade realizations implement higher order Volterra systems using parallel and multiplicative combinations of lower order Volterra system... | | 1998 |

Khan, Faisal Habib | Quantifying device degradation in live power converters using SSTDR assisted impedance Matrix | A noninterfering measurement technique designed around spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) has been proposed in this paper to identify the level of aging associated with power semiconductor switches inside a live converter circuit. Power MOSFETs are one of the most age-sensitive compon... | | 2014-01-01 |
