Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR) play a vital role to provide cybersecurity for the data communication system. LFSR is a shift register where the input is linear of its previous states. The most important application of LFSR is the device’s ability to generate a pseudo-random sequence of values that are used in encryption and decryption to secure personal data. Moreover, LFSR is used in Cyclic Redundancy Check Calculations (CRC) which can help to detect errors and corruption in data communications as LFSR feedback values can be modified. The main objective of the research is to generate the pseudo-random sequence of …

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating as a swarm can be deployed in austere environments, where cyber electromagnetic activities often require speedy and dynamic adjustments to swarm operations. Use of central controllers, UAV synchronization mechanisms or pre-planned set of actions to control a swarm in such deployments would hinder its ability to deliver expected services. We introduce artificial intelligence and game theory based flight control algorithms to be run by each autonomous UAV to determine its actions in near real-time, while relying only on local spatial, temporal and electromagnetic (EM) information. Each UAV using our flight control algorithms positions itself …
Nature-Inspired Electrode Materials For Next Generation Sustainable Energy Storage, Mikhail Miroshnikov
Nature-Inspired Electrode Materials For Next Generation Sustainable Energy Storage, Mikhail Miroshnikov
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Despite revolutionizing the world of portable electronics, the contemporary lithium-ion battery (LIB) suffers from challenges associated with the cost, safety, and environmental impact of transition metal oxide-based intercalation cathodes. To alleviate these issues, naturally occurring organic molecules may serve as sustainable alternatives to traditional inorganic cathode materials. The electrochemical properties of organic compounds are derived from redox-active functional groups containing oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Additionally, these functional groups are capable of coordinating metal ions beyond lithium, allowing for compatibility with sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and other earth abundant metal-based energy storage systems. However, despite competitive performance against commercialized cathode materials, much …

Project-based course on the design of mechatronic devices to address needs identified by hospital-based clinicians and industry. Students work in teams to develop a mechatronic prototype. The lectures will cover the design of medical devices and robotics including sensors, actuators, and robots. The students will communicate with customers to understand design needs, then conduct study on prior art, intellectual property, due diligence, and idea conceptualization. Students will present ideas in class and to a broad audience from local industry. Students will also write a publication-quality final report, which they will be encouraged for publication submission.

Unique Image Representation As A Tensor, Bharat Rosanlall
Unique Image Representation As A Tensor, Bharat Rosanlall
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis presents a two dimensional orthonormal transform that represents an image as coefficients in 4 independent channels. The salient feature of these coefficients is that they contain complete position spatial frequency information about the image, in a sense that the original image can be reconstructed from these coefficients with negligible error. These coefficients can be used in various machine learning, AI , and other tasks where data features are used. Popular convolutional layer used in various neural networks reduces information and can not reconstruct original image. In this thesis , we present several examples where these coefficients are used …
Influence Graphs For Modeling Of Cascading Failures In Electric Distribution Networks, Muhammad S. Bhatti
Influence Graphs For Modeling Of Cascading Failures In Electric Distribution Networks, Muhammad S. Bhatti
Dissertations and Theses
Power Grids are one of the most intricate systems and greatly affect economic, political, and social aspects of contemporary life. A well-operated power system consists of many control devices and protection methods to prevent the interruption of power to consumers. However, such systems are highly vulnerable to severe events; for instance, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, mal-function of control devices, etc. The occurrence of these odd events may lead to cascading failures, which are prominent contributors to blackouts.
This paper focuses on the development of a cascade model in a distribution network using Newton-Raphson’s power flow method to study the impact of …
Recuperation Of Regenerative Braking Energy In Electric Rail Transit Systems, Mahdiyeh Khodaparastan
Recuperation Of Regenerative Braking Energy In Electric Rail Transit Systems, Mahdiyeh Khodaparastan
Dissertations and Theses
Electric rail transit systems are large consumers of energy. In trains with regenerative braking capability, a fraction of the energy used to power a train is regenerated during braking. This regenerated energy, if not properly captured, is typically dumped in the form of heat to avoid overvoltage. Finding a way to recuperate regenerative braking energy can result in substantial economic as well as technical benefits. Regenerative braking energy can be effectively recuperated using wayside energy storage, reversible substations, or hybrid storage/reversible substation systems. In this research study, we compare these recuperation techniques and investigate their application in New York City …
