Analysis of a mobile robot with an angular swivel steering mechanism with applications to step climbing -

Salem, Wael Ahmad, (2014)

The use of wheeled mobile robots in human environments is increasing rapidly. Many robots that are capable of navigating rough terrains have been proposed in literature. However, these have complex methods of actuation and ...
Design and modeling of a novel single-actuator differentially driven robot -

Sfeir, Joy George, (2014)

In this thesis, we introduce a concept design for a single-actuator differentially driven robot. The design is based on connecting two variable-diameter wheels to the same drive shaft. The wheels are designed to have ...
Determination of the evaporation coefficient of secondary organic aerosols from gasoline engine exhaust -

Baassiri, Mohamad Ahmad (2014)

Organic aerosols constitute a major fraction of particle pollutants in the atmosphere, and they exert important influences on human health and global climate. When predicting concentrations of organic aerosols (OA) in the ...
Dynamic modeling of a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle with efficient three dimensional path planning methods -

Wehbe, Bilal Issam, (2014)

This thesis presents the design of a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV), which combines the features of a propelled vehicle and those of an underwater glider. The mechanical design is briefly introduced, describing ...
Hybrid PV battery system for a typical house in Lebanon inland region -

Farhat, Raghid Amine, (2014)

Power shortages are forcing the residential sector to rely on backup diesel generators (DG). Using photovoltaic (PV) technology can be one of the clean solutions to this problem; however its adoption is challenged by its ...
Hydraulic component library for combined forward-inverse simulation approach using Modelica -

Saad, Joseph Georges, (2014)

Inverse dynamic simulation of hydraulic drives is helpful in early design stages of a hydraulic machine to answer the question whether the drive can meet dynamic load requirements and to predict the energy consumption for ...
A mathematical model to predict electronic cigarette nicotine yield -

Balhas, Zainab Mohamed, (2014)

Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) are devices designed to deliver nicotine and some sensory features of cigarette smoking without combusting tobacco. They are marketed as a reduced harm smoking alternative to conventional ...
Non-iterative visual odometry using a monocular camera -

Abi Farraj, Firas Akram, (2014)

This thesis presents a visual odometry system for ground vehicles using a single downward-facing camera and two tilt sensors. Conventional visual odometry algorithms use the probabilistic and iterative RANSAC to remove ...
Omnidirectional humanoid fall avoidance strategies and decision volume -

El Khazen, Noel Samir, (2014)

Our lives are becoming more and more dependent on different types of robots, such as cars, industrial robots, medical robots. Humanoids on the other hand, can easily be integrated into a human environment and perform some ...
PCM cooling vest for improving comfort under hot environment -

Hamdan, Haneen Ibrahim, (2014)

This work investigates a passive method to extend cooling of the human body under hot environments for longer periods. A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) made of salt mixtures that melts at a specific ...
RGB-D correction and completion and its application to SLAM in feature-poor planar environments -

Lahoud, Jean Wadih, (2014)

This thesis focuses on using an RGB-D sensor (Microsoft Kinect) for localization and mapping in an indoor planar environment. Such environments need special treatment since commonly used algorithms such as feature tracking ...
Study of solar regenerated membrane desiccant system to control humidity and decrease energy consumption in office spaces -

Keniar, Khoudor Fayez, (2014)

This study investigates the feasibility of using a solar regenerated liquid desiccant membrane system to remove humidity from an internal office space. While conventional vapor compression cycles dehumidify the air before ...
Time domain estimation of infant respiratory mechanical properties and lung volume during high frequency oscillatory ventilation -

Bu Jawdeh, Samer Abdel Massih, (2014)

Assessments of lung mechanics parameters and volume, and how these physiologic parameters change with treatment and during mechanical ventilation, may be of great value to clinicians caring for patients in respiratory ...
