The Future Of Camera Technology With Atul Ingle, Atul Ingle

PDXPLORES Podcast

Single-photon camera sensors have the potential to revolutionize digital camera technology. These sensors can capture individual photons at high speeds, circumventing some of the limitations of current digital camera technologies. One challenge, however, is the sheer amount of data generated by the sensor, which is a hindrance to their widespread adoption. With the support of the National Science Foundation, Assistant Professor Atul Ingle is developing algorithms to solve this problem--algorithms that could enable the adoption of single-photon sensors in applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to medical imaging and the cameras in cellphones.

Knowledge-Driven Drug-Use Namedentity Recognition With Distant Supervision, Goonmeet Bajaj, Ugur Kursuncu, Manas Gaur, Usha Lokala, Ayaz Hyder, Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Amit Sheth

Publications

As Named Entity Recognition (NER) has been essential in identifying critical elements of unstructured content, generic NER tools remain limited in recognizing entities specific to a domain, such as drug use and public health. For such high-impact areas, accurately capturing relevant entities at a more granular level is critical, as this information influences real-world processes. On the other hand, training NER models for a specific domain without handcrafted features requires an extensive amount of labeled data, which is expensive in human effort and time. In this study, we employ distant supervision utilizing a domain-specific ontology to reduce the need for …

Utilization Of Bayesian Optimization And Kwn Modeling For Increased Efficiency Of Al‐Sc Precipitation Strengthening, Kyle Deane, Yang Yang, Joseph Licavoli, Vu Nguyen, Santu Rana, Sunil Gupta, Svetha Venkatesh, Paul G. Sanders

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

The Kampmann and Wagner numerical model was adapted in MATLAB to predict the precipitation and growth of Al3Sc precipitates as a function of starting concentration and heat‐treatment steps. This model was then expanded to predict the strengthening in alloys using calculated average precipitate number density, radius, etc. The calibration of this model was achieved with Bayesian optimization, and the model was verified against experimentally gathered hardness data. An analysis of the outputs from this code allowed the development of optimal heat treatments, which were validated experimentally and proven to result in higher final strengths than were previously observed. Bayesian optimization …

Frequency Event Detection And Mitigation In Power Systems: A Systematic Literature Review, Umar Farooq, Robert B. Bass

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Modern power systems characterized by complex topologies require accurate situational awareness to maintain an adequate level of reliability. Since they are large and spread over wide geographical areas, it is inevitable that failures will occur. Various generation and transmission disturbances, such as generator and transmission line tripping and load disconnection, give rise to a mismatch between generation and demand, which manifest as frequency events. These events can take the form of negligible frequency deviations or more severe emergencies that can precipitate cascading outages, depending on the severity of the disturbance and efficacy of remedial action schema. The impacts of such …

Emergency Hot Car Alert System, Alexander Lopez, Ryan Marquis, Christopher Park Jun 2022

Emergency Hot Car Alert System, Alexander Lopez, Ryan Marquis, Christopher Park

Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Theses

Children and pets are often forgotten in vehicles, and on hot days this can lead to heat-stroke, coma, and death. To avoid such preventable deaths, we designed a device that would be able to detect the presence of a vulnerable entity, such as a baby, with a temperature sensor and volatile organic compounds sensor. Once occupancy is recognized while the vehicle engine is off, the device will monitor the ambient temperature and will respond in real-time if the environment is deemed unsafe by triggering our alert system. The anticipated outcome is to avoid preventable deaths due to heat-stroke inside a …
