ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Common mode currents are a major source of interference in electrical and electronic systems. A universal solution to counteract common mode interference is to introduce an electromagnetic shield with ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis documents the research, design, implementation and successful testing of a prototype camera probe to survey the inside of hard rock boreholes. Rock core images are intended to aid mine ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a moon sensor as an alternative or supplemental sensor to supply attitude information to a satellite. The visibility of the moon was ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The transverse flux machine (TFM) offers the opportunity of high torque to volume ratios which makes it an excellent candidate for direct wheel drives and low speed generator applications. TFMs have ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The calibration and field evaluation of an Insulator Pollution Monitoring Relay (IPMR) were the main aims of this research programme. A repeatable artificial wetting test method was developed after ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main objective of this research project was to develop a methodology which can be used to assist in developing an insulator pollution severity application map (INSMAP), more particularly for South ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the possible use of NAND flash memory for a mass memory unit on a micro-satellite. The investigation begins with an analysis of NAND flash memory devices including the complexity ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The thesis describes the optimum rotor design and performance of a 110kW Permanent-Magnet assisted (PM-assisted) Reluctance Synchronous traction Machine (RSM) using bonded permanent magnet sheets. ...

This thesis relates to the design, implementation and evaluation of statistical face recognition techniques. In particular, the use of Hidden Markov Models in various forms is investigated as a recognition tool and ...

In RF power transistor characterisation, the designer is confronted with low impedance measurements (typically from 1 Ohm to 12 Ohm). These transistors are contained in metal-ceramic packages of which the lead widths ...
