In this thesis we present a human-computer interface (HCI) system for disabled persons using only a basic web camera. Mouse movements are simulated by small movements of the head, while clicks are simulated by eye blinks. ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Keywords: digital signal processing, OSI layer, network protocols, embedded systems, satellite technology This thesis describes the design and implementation of a rural e-mail system for the ...

This thesis relates to the successful development of a flight control system to perform a range of aerobatic manoeuvres autonomously. The project is the first to try to extend the flight control capabilities of the ...

Electrical energy is continuously transported across the world by high voltage transmission lines. These transmission lines are however subject to losses beside the inherent resistive and dielectric losses. This additional ...

Applications are normally developed with a specific purpose in mind and when new features are needed the source code has to be modified, recompiled and redistributed. It will be more beneficial if new features can be ...

Clear procedures for designing dielectric resonator oscillators (DROs) are presented in this thesis, including built examples to validate these design procedures. Both series and parallel feedback DROs are discussed and ...

Next-generation nanosatellites are becoming a very cost effective solution to gain access to space. Modern manufacturing technology together with low power low cost devices makes the development of nanosatellites, using ...

The diagonal covariance Gaussian Probability Density Function (PDF) has been a very popular choice as the base PDF for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. The only choices thus far have been between the spherical, ...

The successful control of a three-degree-of-freedom gyroscope is presented for the application of steering and stabilising a platform mounted underneath an airship. The end goal is to stabilise a camera for earth observation ...

A major challenge in the design and operation of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) devices is the fabrication of reproducible Josephson junctions with good IcRn products. One objective of this thesis was to fabricate ...
