26 Henderson, Thomas C.Analysis of topographic maps for recreational purposes using decision treesIn this paper we describe a method for predicting the subjective quality of a new mountain bike route for a particular subject based on routes previously ridden and ranked by the subject. GPS tracks of the previously ridden routes are over laid on rasterized topographic maps and topographic features...2013-01-01
27 Khan, Faisal HabibDesign and simulation of contour mode MEMS resonator on Si for power convertersMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators on Si have the potential to replace the discrete passive components in a power converter. These devices not only can reduce the size and weight of the converter but also can facilitate the implementation of power converter on a chip. In this paper, a ...2013-01-01
28 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.Design and characterization of electronic sensing system for a 13 × 13 biomechanical ground reaction sensor arrayThis paper presents the design and characterization of an electronic sensing system interfaced with a high-density flexible biomechanical ground reaction sensor array (GRSA). The prototype system can be incorporated into a personal boot heel to measure real-time ground force, shear strain and sole d...2013-01-01
29 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.An exothermal energy release layer for microchip transienceA single layer nanothermite spin coated gel has been utilized as a solid-state exothermic energy release layer for triggered microchip transience. A proportional combination of self-assembled CuO/Al nanothermite and Napalm-B as gelling agent has been used to develop for the first time a spinable nan...2013-01-01
30 Rieth, Loren WBi-layer encapsulation of Utah array based nerual interfaces by atomic layer deposited Al2O3 and parylene CWe present a novel coating method that combines atomic layer deposited Al2O3 and Parylene C for encapsulation of biomedical implantable devices, focusing on its application on Utah electrode array based neural interfaces. The alumina and Parylene C bi-layer encapsulated wired Utah electrode array sh...2013-01-01
31 Blair, StevenCrossing-aware channel routing for photonic waveguidesAbstract-Silicon photonics technology is progressing at a rapid pace. Despite greatly expanded manufacturing capability, physical design of integrated optical circuits currently lacks the level of automation found in VLSI design. A key component of integrated optic design is waveguide routing; howev...2013-01-01
32 Tasdizen, TolgaWatershed merge forest classification for electron microscopy image stack segmentationAutomated electron microscopy (EM) image analysis techniques can be tremendously helpful for connectomics research. In this paper, we extend our previous work [1] and propose a fully automatic method to utilize inter-section information for intra-section neuron segmentation of EM image stacks. A wat...2013-01-01
33 Bargteil, Adam WadeDynamic spritesTraditional methods for creating dynamic objects and characters from static drawings involve careful tweaking of animation curves and/or simulation parameters. Sprite sheets offer a more drawing-centric solution, but they do not encode timing information or the logic that determines how objects shou...2013-01-01
34 Harman, Todd B.Multiscale modeling of accidental explosions and detonationsAccidental explosions are exceptionally dangerous and costly, both in lives and money. Regarding worldwide conflict with small arms and light weapons, the Small Arms Survey has recorded more than 297 accidental explosions in munitions depots across the world that have resulted in thousands of deaths...2013-01-01
35 Venkatasubramanian, SureshPower to the points: validating data memberships in clusteringsIn this paper, we present a method to attach affinity scores to the implicit labels of individual points in a clustering. The affinity scores capture the confidence level of the cluster that claims to "own" the point. We demonstrate that these scores accurately capture the quality of the label assig...2013-01-01
36 Ring, Terry ArthurRoom temperature co-precipitation synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles in a large pH window with different basesMagnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) represent the most promising materials in medical applications. To favor high-drug or enzyme loading on the nanoparticles, they are incorporated into mesoporous materials to form a hybrid support with the consequent reduction of magnetization saturation. The direct sy...2013-01-01
37 Gale, Bruce K.Platinum functionalized titania nanotube array sensor for detection of Trichloroethylene in waterA sensor using platinum functionalized titania nanotubes for the detection of Trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples has been developed. The titania nanotubes were synthesized using an electrochemical anodization technique and platinum was photocatalytically deposited on the nanotubes. The sensor ...2013-01-01
38 Khan, Faisal HabibReliability analysis and performance degradation of a boost converterIn general, power converters are being operated in closed-loop systems, and any characteristic variations in one component will simultaneously alter the operating point of other components resulting in a shift in overall reliability profile. This interdependence makes the reliability of a converter ...2013-01-01
39 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.A very high density floating electrode flexible sensor array for high-resolution measurements of contact forcesWe present the development, fabrication and testing results of a new high-density flexible sensor array (HDFA) suitable of recording three-axis stresses with high spatial resolution. The new HDFA consists of 676 (26×26) sensing cells fabricated on top of a high-density flex circuit substrate. Each ...2013-01-01
40 Kirby, Robert MichaelA scalable, efficient scheme for evaluation of stencil computations over unstructured meshesStencil computations are a common class of operations that appear in many computational scientific and engineering applications.
