The field of MEMS has matured significantly over the last two decades increasing in both complexity and level of integration. To keep up with the demands placed by these changes requires the development of computer-aided ...

When we browse the web, we experience rich designs and data interactivity. But our creation efforts of such content are often hampered by the great engineering effort required. As a result, novices are largely limited to ...

Instrumenting patients with small, wearable sensors will enable physicians to continuously monitor patients outside the hospital. These devices can be used for real-time classification of the data they collect. For practical ...

In this thesis, we consider three main resampling problems. The first is the sampling rate conversion problem in which the input and output grids are both regularly spaced. It is known that the output signal is obtained ...

Articular cartilage is the connective tissue which lines the bony ends of diathrodial joints to provide load distribution and frictionless motion. Lubricin, a glycoprotein which concentrates at the superficial layer of the ...

All software verification techniques, from theorem proving to testing, share the common goal of establishing a program's correctness with both (1) a high degree of confidence and (2) a low cost to the user, two criteria ...

This thesis presents an approach for grasping objects robustly under significant positional uncertainty. In the field of robot manipulation there has been a great deal of work on how to grasp objects stably, and in the ...

Red blood cells (RBCs) play a crucial role in delivering oxygen to the body tissues. During the 120 days of their lifespan, average RBCs would circulate for approximately 500,000 times and undergo repeated deformations in ...
