Probability Based Logic Locking On Integrated Circuits, Michael Yue
Probability Based Logic Locking On Integrated Circuits, Michael Yue
Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's Theses
The demand of integrated circuits (IC)s are increasing and the industry has outsourced the fabrication process to untrusted environments. An adversary at these untrusted facilities can reverse engineer parts of the IC to reveal the original design. IC piracy and overproduction are serious issues that threaten the security and integrity of a system. These ICs can be copied illegally and altered to contain malicious hardware. The pirated ICs can be placed in consumer products which may harm the system or leak sensitive information. Hardware obfuscation is a technique used to protect the original design before it gets fabricated, tested, assembled, …
Design And Implementation Of 60 Ghz Cavity Backed Patch Antennas, Kasey Chun
Design And Implementation Of 60 Ghz Cavity Backed Patch Antennas, Kasey Chun
Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's Theses
As the lower range of radio frequency spectrum become more cluttered and the demand for faster data rates and greater bandwidth grows, next generation wireless technology is pushed to innovate and provide needed resources. Major technology companies such as Samsung, intel, Qualcomm Inc. and Google have been investing at millimeter-wave band frequencies to address this imminent need. The fifth generation of telecommunication technology could be perceived as a paradigm shift in the way we see and think about wireless communication. This next generation technology is intended to enable other up and coming industries and services such as internet of things …

Membrane Deflection-Based Fabrication And Design Automation For Integrated Acoustofluidics, Daniel Freitas
Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's Theses
Continuous-flow microfluidic large-scale integration (mLSI) is a developing field first introduced in the early 2000s, that continues to offer promising solutions to many biochemical, biophysical and biomedical problems. In his seminal paper, Thorsen et al. 2002 demonstrated the fabrication of high-density microfluidic systems capable of complex fluidic routing in combinatory arrays of multiplexors, mixers, and storage assemblies integrated with micromechanical valves. mLSI has been a powerful tool for scientific research by allowing for dramatic reduction in the volume of reagent needed for experimentation and offering highly parallelizable and dynamic process flows. These systems have since been the focus of strong …
Jump Linear Quadratic Control For Energy Management Of An Isolated Microgrid, Nathaniel Tucker
Jump Linear Quadratic Control For Energy Management Of An Isolated Microgrid, Nathaniel Tucker
Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's Theses
Energy security and the aging grid infrastructure in the United States are two important subjects at the crossroads between politics and technology. One proposed solution to these two issues revolves around the concept of an isolated microgrid. Isolated microgrids are becoming increasingly popular combining multiple energy generation and storage systems to diversify and secure their private energy portfolios. The work presented in this thesis applies jump linear quadratic control to the energy management of an isolated microgrid operating with solar generation, fuel cell, and battery energy storage system. A continuous finite state Markov chain is used to model the intermittent …
