This thesis investigates a cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter topology (CHB-MLI). It utilizes a unique methodology that converts the conventional DC voltage output of a solar photo-voltaic (PV) panel to generate switched quasi-square wave AC v...
Maglev, the concept of using magnetic forces to levitate a vehicle above a guideway for frictionless motion, has received renewed interest as of late due to several high profile projects, including the proposed next-generation transit system Hyper...
During single-point metal turning processes, a long, razor-sharp chip nest is often formed that can be a hazard to both operators and the part being machined. To combat this, a process called Modulated Tool Path (MTP) machining was developed by Ba...
Survivors of cancerous and traumatic transpelvic amputations have difficulty in transitioning into and out of a chair, as well as sitting upright with correct posture. The addition of special pads and chair inserts can help the amputee; however, t...
