Development Of An Automated Electronic Prototyping System, Cesar Yahir Sanchez Zambrano
Development Of An Automated Electronic Prototyping System, Cesar Yahir Sanchez Zambrano
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Prototyping systems with interconnected components can be a time and resource expensive process. The process consists of three main phases (design, build and analysis) with each having their own associated cost. For the case of electronic circuits, the building phase is the costliest phase among the three, being prone to human errors which causes the circuit to fail. All three phases of the prototyping process are important. However, often a disproportionate amount of time is spent on the build phase due to the difficulty of making and troubleshooting circuits by hand. In this thesis we will discuss a system that …

Automated Blind Control, Daniel Nahra, Matthew Lacek, Timothy Kurczewski, William Daulton Baksa
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The objective of this project would be to design and prototype an automated, light and temperature sensing window blinds system. The device would detect temperature, both inside and outside, and incoming sunlight to determine proper window blind position for maximum energy savings. The user would also have the ability to change the settings of the blind from a remote device to a setting that they desire at any given time

Automated Compilation Test System For Embedded System, Mohamad Khairi Ishak, Ooi Jun Hwan, Teh Jiashen, Nor Ashidi Mat Isa
Makara Journal of Technology
Embedded system testing involves testing an integration of software and hardware. It is increasingly difficult to evaluate the functionality of each module within a short time because of the increasing number of tests required. In this paper, a novel stepwise methodology involving the use of an automated compilation test system (ACTS) is proposed, to improve the quality of testing and optimize the testing time using automation. Using the proposed method, the testing coverage can be maximized, while minimizing the manual work and testing time required. This ACTS was used to automate the test code compilation and execution for different hardware …
Rapid Translation Of Finite-Element Theory Into Computer Implementation Based On A Descriptive Object-Oriented Programming Approach, Murat Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, we present a framework for rapid prototyping of finite element (FE) theory for computer implementations. For this purpose, we propose an object-oriented (OO) application programming interface in the form of a domain-specific modeling language (DSML). In contrast to the traditional OO approach, the proposed framework deliberately avoids the use of subclassing for concrete implementations of node and element classes; it uses external objects, namely descriptors, instead. The descriptive design of the DSML provides developers with generic programming support for the construction and solution of discretization schemes, in the context of partial differential equations, in a self-explanatory syntax. …

Light Sensing Automated Blinds, Andrew B. Hodges, Ryan C. Flick
Electrical Engineering
This project is solving the problem of wasted energy within buildings and homes, because currently the lights turned on inside building do not utilize natural, ambient light from the sun. Rather than having unnecessary light from a light source, the automated light sensing smart blinds can sense the amount of light outside the window and in the room, and then adjust the angle of the blinds to save energy by utilizing the available outdoor light. This way, the light source will not be running at maximum power output while there is excess light coming through the window. This project aims …
