Battery prognostics using a self-cognizant dynamic system approach
(IEEE, 2015)This paper proposes a new self-cognizant dynamic system approach for Battery PHM, that incorporates an artificial neural network model into a dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) algorithm. A feed-forward neural network ... -
A Bayesian approach for verifying process improvement
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)This research is an effort to introduce the Bayesian approach as a tool for evaluating process adjustments aimed at causing a shift to the process average. This is usually encountered in scenarios where the process is found ... -
BCC-Phased PdCu Alloy as a highly active electrocatalyst for hydrogen oxidation in alkaline electrolytes
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11-05)Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells hold promise to greatly reduce cost by employing nonprecious metal cathode catalysts. More efficient anode catalysts are needed, however, to improve the sluggish hydrogen oxidation reaction ... -
Beacon deployment guide: A study on bluetooth low energy beacon infrastructure setup for indoor way-finding
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)With the recent technological advancement in providing exploratory and navigational aids to individuals, especially people with visual impairments, in an indoor area, usage of different kind of markers at Point-of-Interest ... -
Beacon-based wayfinding for people with disabilities
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)There are currently few options for navigational aids for people with disabilities, specially those who are the blind and visually impaired (BVI) in indoor spaces and around buildings. Indoor environments can be geographically ... -
Beam engine powered circular sawing machine
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)In this project, the output of a Beam Engine is used to drive a circular saw to cut timber. Here, instead of the rotating fly wheel, it is intended to have a rotating circular saw. This rotating circular saw is used to ... -
Bearing response test for the polymer matrix composite laminates: Optimization of displacement gage position
(Wichita State University, 2008-05)This thesis deals with composite joints with single shear tensile loading for a single piece specimen. The bearing response data from single shear test using a single piece specimen has been extensively used in the development ... -
Benchmarking neural network compression techniques for ocular-based user authentication on smartphones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-04-06)With the unprecedented mobile technology revolution, mobile devices have transcended from being the primary means of communication to an all-in-one platform. Consequently, an increasing number of individuals are accessing ... -
Benefit assessment of water-heater management on residential demand response: an event driven approach
(IEEE, 2016)Analysis, modeling and development of residential demand response schemes are vital for the next generation active distribution systems. Among residential level deferrable loads thermally controllable loads have shown a ... -
The benefits of magnetic/protein targeted drug delivery in treating skin cancer in-vivo
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Skin cancer represents the most common type of cancers, and is life threatening without treatment. People with light skin, genetic diseases and high exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are at a high risk of developing ... -
BESS scores observed in real time versus with slow-motion video recording
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014-05)The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a subjective clinical balance assessment frequently used by various healthcare providers. A test administrator records the number of pre-defined errors committed by the test subject ... -
Best effort query answering for mediators with union views
(Wichita State University, 2011-07)Consider an SQL query that involves joins of several relations, optionally followed by selections and/or projections. It can be represented by a conjunctive datalog query Q without negation or arithmetic subgoals. We ... -
Beyond just safety: Delay-aware security monitoring for real-time control systems
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-07-01)Modern embedded real-time systems (RTS) are increasingly facing more security threats than the past. A simplistic straightforward integration of security mechanisms might not be able to guarantee the safety and predictability ... -
Bias of facial analysis at NIR spectrum
