A Generalized Control Method For Constant Switching Frequency Three Phase Pwm Boost Rectifier Under Extreme Unbalanced Operation Condition, Abhishek Kumar Upadhyay Jan 2015

A Generalized Control Method For Constant Switching Frequency Three Phase Pwm Boost Rectifier Under Extreme Unbalanced Operation Condition, Abhishek Kumar Upadhyay

ETD Archive

This thesis presents a generalized control method for constant switching frequency PWM Boost Type Rectifier under extremely unbalanced operating conditions in the power system. The proposed analytical method is verified by using MATLAB/ Simulink model developed under severe unbalanced conditions of input source voltages and input impedances. The closed loop control method for controlling the output DC voltage is also presented and verified by using MATLAB/Simulink model. An experimental model is built to prove the feasibility of the proposed constant switching frequency operation of the PWM Boost Type Rectifier under extreme unbalanced operation conditions by using DSPACE RT1104 digital control …

High Speed Clock Glitching, Santosh Desiraju

ETD Archive

In recent times, hardware security has drawn a lot of interest in the research community. With physical proximity to the target devices, various fault injection hardware attack methods have been proposed and tested to alter their functionality and trigger behavior not intended by the design. There are various types of faults that can be injected depending on the parameters being used and the level at which the device is tampered with. The literature describes various fault models to inject faults in clock of the target but there are no publications on overclocking circuits for fault injection. The proposed method bridges …


The Design And Implementation Of A Kinect-Based Rehabilitation Exercise Monitoring And Guidance System, Hai Feng Jan 2015

The Design And Implementation Of A Kinect-Based Rehabilitation Exercise Monitoring And Guidance System, Hai Feng

ETD Archive

In preventive and rehabilitative healthcare, physical exercise is a powerful intervention. However, a program may require in the range of thousands of practice repetitions, and many people do not adhere to the program or perform their home exercises incorrectly, making the exercise ineffective, or even dangerous. This thesis research aims to develop a Kinect-based system for rehabilitation exercises monitoring and guidance. In the first step, a feasibility study was carried out on using Kinect for realtime monitoring of rehabilitation exercises while a multi-camera motion tracking system was used to establish the ground truth. In the second step, a Unity-based system …
