Globally exponential controller/observer for tracking in robots without velocity measurement
(Blackwell Publishing, 2012-03)In this work, we present an observer and continuous controller for a multiple degree of freedom robotic plant without velocity measurement. For this considered plant, we propose and present an observer/controller that ... -
GPU computing to improve game engine performance
(ITB Journal Publisher, 2014-05)Although the graphics processing unit (GPU) was originally designed to accelerate the image creation for output to display, today's general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing offers unprecedented performance by offloading ... -
GPU-accelerated "green" technology for fast analysis of nano-composites
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)In this work, we investigate an energy-efficient simulation technique using NVIDIA compute unified device architecture (CUDA) to fast analysis of nanomaterial properties. In this approach, multithreaded parallel programming ... -
Graphene based nafion (r) nanocomposite membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)Nanocomposite proton-exchange membranes are fabricated by loading graphene nanoflakes into perfluoro sulfonic acid polymer (Nafion) solutions at controlled amounts (1-4 wt%) followed by electrical and thermal characterization ... -
A greedy random adaptive search procedure for multi-rendezvous mission planning
(Univelt, Inc., 2015-01)The paper proposes a new algorithm to optimize a sequence of rendezvous maneuvers by a spacecraft with multiple targets. The algorithm consists of two phases: the first phase generates feasible solutions of the problem ... -
Green eggs and ham
(Elsevier Ltd, 1997-08-1)A dish of ham and eggs is required to be divided equally by a single straight knife cut. A constructive solution procedure is described through the introduction of a balance functional and a geometric optimization problem. ... -
The Green Print: Advancement of Environmental Sustainability in Healthcare
(Elsevier, 2020-10)Healthcare is a major emitter of environmental pollutants that adversely affect health. Within the healthcare community, awareness of these effects is low, and recognition of the duty to address them is only beginning to ... -
Group control charts for monitoring the average of correlated streams
(Wichita State University, 2022-07)In many manufacturing processes, multiple identical parts are made in parallel during a single run. Different inspectors may inspect similar parts, and several assembly lines may produce similar products. These scenarios ... -
Guest Editorial: WACV 2020—Presentation attacks on biometric systems
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-06-30)This special issue focusses on approaches for detecting PAs and morphing attacks on biometric systems. Four papers in this issue discuss in detail PAD, and three other papers focus on image manipulation attacks such as ... -
Guidance for precision three-dimensional maneuvers through orifices using safe-passage cones
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2016-06)This paper proposes a safe-passage cone-based guidance strategy developed in a relative velocity framework to enable a generic aerial robot execute a precision three-dimensional maneuver through a narrow orifice in a wall. ... -
Guidebeacon beacon-based indoor wayfinding for the blind, visually impaired and disoriented
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)There are currently few options for navigational aids for the blind and visually impaired (BVI) in large indoor spaces. Such indoor spaces can be difficult to navigate even for the general sighted population if they are ... -
GuideBeacon: Beacon-Based Indoor Wayfinding for the blind, visually impaired, and disoriented
(IEEE, 2017)There are currently few options for navigational aids for the blind and visually impaired (BVI) in large indoor spaces. Such indoor spaces can be difficult to navigate even for the general sighted population if they are ... -
GuideCall: A remote video call assistance for blind and visually impaired people
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)Blind or Visually Impaired (BVI) individuals often face many challenges while exploring new places that are not very accessible or performing many daily tasks. Getting assistance from strangers is not always desirable in ... -
