Precise manipulation of particles at a microscopic level can be accomplished by a number of means with varying degrees of success and benefits. Many biological and pharmaceutical laboratories employ optical tweezers that ...

To respond to bioterrorism events or to curb outbreaks of contagious diseases, county health departments must set up and operate clinics to dispense medications or vaccines. Planning these clinics in advance of such an ...

CAPTCHAs are tests used by resource-rich websites to ensure that humans, but not malicious automated programs, have access to their resources. Most CAPTCHAs are visual tests (e.g. identifying distorted text), but auditory ...

In this project, various approaches were analyzed as possible approaches towards wall following and mapping with implementations of select approaches designed in MDLe for the Activ Media robots provided. The laser rangefinder ...

The goal of this summer research was to find a way to control mechanical systems over unreliable communication networks. These systems become unstable due to time delay in the communication port. Using wave scattering ...

The performance of a mobile wireless network depends on the time-varying connectivity of the network as nodes move around. Therefore, there has been a growing interest in the distribution of inter-meeting times between two ...

We develop and evaluate a new method for estimating and optimizing various performance metrics for multi-hop wireless networks, including MANETs. We introduce an approximate (throughput) loss model that couples ...

Concerns dealing with the application of superparamagnetic ferrofluid as a drug carrier are studied both experimentally and theoretically. A dynamically controlled electromagnet experiment was designed to focus a stable ...

During my summer research, software for navigation of a bird-inspired robot from computer was developed and successfully tested indoors. An off-the-shelf PC to R/C transmitter device, PCTx, was used for programming the ...

Current approaches to handling adversary attacks against data aggregation in sensor networks either aim exclusively at the detection of aggregate data corruption or provide rather inefficient ways to identify the nodes ...
