Global and Local Reactivity Assessments for Passive Control Systems of Multi-module HTGR Special Purpose Reactors
(2020-09-30)
In this report various categories of Flexible Power Operation (FPO) were defined. For each
category the requisite reactivity for meeting the FPO specifications was quantified using a point
kinetics reactor model with ...
Point Kinetics Model Development with Predictive Control for Multi-Module HTGR Special Purpose Reactors
(2020-12-29)
In this reportwe document the development of a state-space dynamics model and control algorithms
that may actively provide autonomous reactivity control of a microreactor. This builds on our
previous work that performed ...
Energy-Efficient and Robust Wireless Connectivity and Sensing Solutions for the Internet of Things
(2022)
In recent years, as smart sensor nodes are being ubiquitously adopted in different environments and applications, there has been an exponential growth in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes which is expected ...
Supporting Trust Calibration and Attention Management in Human-Machine Teams Through Training and Real-Time Feedback on Estimated Performance
(2022)
Trust, the attitude that an agent will help achieve an individual’s goals in a situation characterized by uncertainty and vulnerability (Lee & See, 2004), plays a critical role in supervisory control and human-machine ...
Domain-Specific Hardware/Architecture for Emerging Applications
(2021)
Technology scaling has driven the development of the computing industry during the past 50 years. However, as soon as we reach the power and memory wall, the impact of Moore’s Law started to wear away. The lack of “free” ...
The Self-Assembly of Bidisperse Colloids
(2022)
New technologies call for the development of new materials.
One new type of material with exciting electronic, magnetic and optical properties are colloidal crystals.
Binary colloidal crystals, which incorporate two different ...
Efficient Deep Learning Accelerator Architectures by Model Compression and Data Orchestration
(2022)
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become the primary methods to solve machine learning and artificial intelligence problems in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. The advancements in ...
SOI Through-Wafer Monolithic Knudsen Pumps for Microscale Gas Chromatography Applications
(2021)
Gas micropumps are essential components to generate gas flow and apply pressure in various microanalytical applications such as microscale gas chromatography (μGC). Knudsen pumps (KPs) are attractive for such applications ...
Restoring Fine Finger Control to Paralyzed Hands Using a Low-Power Brain-Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation Neuroprosthesis
(2022)
Paralysis of the upper extremity is a devastating outcome of many neurological diseases and disorders. Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) attempt to bypass the disability by recording information directly from the subject’s ...
Electrochemical Characterization of Organic Polymers And Their Applications for Renewable Energy
(2022)
Renewable energy technologies are clean resources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies such as coal or petroleum. Renewable energy technologies can help to reduce ...
