Design Of Smart Trashcan, Haoran Song
Design Of Smart Trashcan, Haoran Song
Senior Theses
A smart trashcan has been designed which can bring convenience to people for throwing their garbage away during the COVID-19 pandemic. A prototype is made from cardboard to demonstrate its function. This trashcan can sense people who are coming and leaving, and it can open and close automatically. The trashcan is powered by solar energy. A solar panel is mounted on top of the trashcan supporter. This design is specifically for use in China.

Transferring Power Through A Magnetic Couple, Nickolas Cruz Villalobos Jr.
Senior Theses
Properties of several working magnetic coupled rotors have been measured and their performance compared to theoretical models. Axial magnetic couplers allow rotors to work within harsh environments, without the need for seals, proper alignment, or overload protection on a motor. The influence of geometrical parameters, such as distance from the center of the rotors, polarity arrangement, and the number of dipole pairs were experimentally tested. These results can be used to improve rotor designs, to increase strength and efficiency.

As scaling CMOS devices is approaching its physical limits, researchers have begun exploring newer devices and architectures to replace CMOS.
Due to their non-volatility and high density, Spin Transfer Torque (STT) devices are among the most prominent candidates for logic and memory applications. In this research, we first considered a new logic style called All Spin Logic (ASL). Despite its advantages, ASL consumes a large amount of static power; thus, several optimizations can be performed to address this issue. We developed a systematic methodology to perform the optimizations to ensure stable operation of ASL.
Second, we investigated reliable design of …

Variation Of Moments With Distributions Of Masses And Areas, Mayo Glenwood Shults
Master's Theses
The purpose of this investigation has been to determine the variations of the first, second, third and fourth moments as functions of distributions of masses and areas. These moments were found about a line or plane perpendicular to the horizontal axes of the figures, and at various distances along the axes. For a complete understanding of the problem, an explanation of various terms will be made in relation to mechanics statistics.
