    • Passivity-Based Control of Sampled-Data Systems on Lie Groups with Linear Outputs 

      McCarthy, Philip James; Nielsen, Christopher (Elsevier, 2016-12-22)
      We present a method of stabilizing a sampled-data system that evolves on a matrix Lie group using passivity. The continuous-time plant is assumed passive with known storage function, and its passivity is preserved under ...
    • Path following using dynamic transverse feedback linearization for car-like robots 

      Akhtar, Adeel; Nielsen, Christopher; Waslander, Steven L. (IEEE, 2015-02-16)
      This paper presents an approach for designing path following controllers for the kinematic model of car-like mobile robots using transverse feedback linearization with dynamic extension. This approach is applicable to ...
    • Performance Limit Projection of Germanane Field-Effect Transistors 

      AlMutairi, AbdulAziz; Zhao, Yiju; Yin, Demin; Yoon, Youngki (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-03-13)
      Here we explore the performance limit of monolayer germanane (GeH) field-effect transistors (FETs). We first plotted an electronic band structure of GeH using density functional theory (DFT) and then tight-binding parameters ...
    • Periodic Adaptive Stabilization of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems 

      Simard, Joel D.; Nielsen, Christopher; Miller, Daniel E. (Springer, 2019-06-19)
      Adaptive control deals with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time variation is slow, with results for systems with fast time variations limited ...
    • Phase-Locked Loop Stability Based on Stochastic Bounds 

      Baker, Robert J. A.; Leung, Bosco; Nielsen, Christopher (Springer, 2015-08-11)
      In this paper we study the stability of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in the presence of noise. We represent the noise as Brownian motion and model the circuit as a nonlinear stochastic differential equation, with the noise ...
    • Protocol for Usability Testing and Validation of the ISO Draft International Standard 19223 for Lung Ventilators 

      Minotra, Dev; Dain, Steven; Burns, Catherine M (JMIR, 2017-09)
      Background: Clinicians, such as respiratory therapists and physicians, are often required to set up pieces of medical equipment that use inconsistent terminology. Current lung ventilator terminology that is used by different ...
    • PtSe2 Field-Effect Transistors: New Opportunities for Electronic Devices 

      AlMutairi, AbdulAziz; Yin, Demin; Yoon, Youngki (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-11-15)
      PtSe2, a new family of transition metal dichalcogenides, has been explored for electronic device applications using density functional theory (DFT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) within the third nearest ...
    • A self-powered multi-broadcasting wireless sensing system realized with an all-in-one triboelectric nanogenerator 

      Khan, Asif Abdullah; Mahmud, Alam; Zhang, Steven; Islam, Shariful; Voss, Peter; Ban, Dayan (Elsevier, 2019-08)
      The ubiquitous sensors at the core network of Internet of Things (IoT) have accelerated the realization of micro/nano systems that necessitate not only the development of self-powered sensors but also requires a reliable ...
    • Stereoscopic image quality assessment by deep convolutional neural network 

      Fang, Yuming; Yan, Jiebin; Liu, Xuelin; Wang, Jiheng (Elsevier, 2019-01)
      In this paper, we propose a no-reference (NR) quality assessment method for stereoscopic images by deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Inspired by the internal generative mechanism (IGM) in the human brain, which ...
    • A Survey on Cache Management Mechanisms for Real-Time Embedded Systems 

      GRACIOLI, GIOVANI; ALHAMMAD, AHMED; MANCUSO, RENATO; FRÖHLICH, ANTÔNIO; Pellizzoni, Rodolfo (Association of Computing Machinery, 2015-11)
      Multicore processors are being extensively used by real-time systems, mainly because of their demand for increased computing power. However, multicore processors have shared resources that affect the predictability of ...
    • Synchronized closed path following for a differential drive and manipulator robot 

      Li, Yuqian; Nielsen, Christopher (IEEE, 2016-05-23)
      We locally solve a synchronized path-following problem for a heterogeneous multiagent system consisting of a differential drive robot and a serial manipulator. Each is assigned a simple, regular, and closed curve in its ...
    • Towards principled design of cancer nanomedicine to accelerate clinical translation 

      Souri, Mohammad; Soltani, M.; Kashkooli, Farshad Moradi; Shahvandi, Mohammad Kiani; Chiani, Mohsen; Shariati, Fatemeh Sadat; Mehrabi, Mohammad Reza; Munn, Lance L. (Elsevier, 2022-01)
      Nanotechnology in medical applications, especially in oncology as drug delivery systems, has recently shown promising results. However, although these advances have been promising in the pre-clinical stages, the clinical ...
    • Transverse Feedback Linearization with Partial Information for Single-Input Systems 

      Nielsen, Christopher (SIAM, 2014-09-25)
      This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class ...
