 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Noncontact probes for wire fault location with reflectometry | This paper describes an approach to locate wire faults using reflectometry without physical contact with the wire conductor. This noncontact method is capable of locating faults on both dead and live powered wires with today's reflectometry technologies, and it does not require any modification or ... | Wire fault location; Noncontact probes; Reflectometry; Capacitive coupling; Inductive coupling; Aging aircraft wire | 2006 |

 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Invisible fray: a critical analysis of the use of reflectometry for fray location | Significant international research and development efforts have been devoted to methods and equipment for locating wiring faults, particularly those on aging aircraft. Several reflectometry methods that send high frequency signals down the line and analyze the returned reflections have risen to the... | Reflectometry; Fray location; Invisible fray; Fault location; Aging wiring; Spread spectrum reflectometry | 2006-06 |

 | Harrison, Reid R.; Tabib-Azar, Massood | Microcontroller-based wireless recording unit for neurodynamic studies in saltwater | This paper presents the design of a biocompatible implantable neural-recording unit for Aplysia californica, which is a common sea slug. Low-voltage extracellular neural signals (< 250 μV) are recorded using a high-performance low-power low-noise preamplifier that is packaged with programmable dig... | Sea slug; Data acquisition; Implantable; Low-noise amplifier; Low-power circuits; Neural sensor; Telemetry | 2006-10 |

 | Furse, Cynthia M. | Multicarrier reflectometry | A new reflectometry method called multicarrier reflectometry (MCR) for fault location in cables is proposed. MCR combines a weighted set of sinusoidal excitations into a signal that is sent down the wire. The reflected signal from the cable under test is analyzed in order to determine the length of ... | Multicarrier reflectometry; MCR; Fault location | 2006-06 |
