Solar Powered Passive Wireless Moisture Sensor with Cloud Communication

Studies have shown that fresh water is getting scarcer worldwide day by day. Most of the fresh water is being wasted on land fields for irrigation. Farmers waste so much fresh water, when watering their crops. To conserve water, measurements need to be done efficiently. However, soil moisture sensors currently available on the market are quite...

A Compact, High Precision Position Sensing Embedded System for Fast Steering Mirror

A fast steering tip-tilt mirror is widely used as a pointing and tracking device in aerospace engineering, in laser beam stabilizers and in many other applications. A fast steering mirror has the capability to project light in two-dimensional space. The correct positioning of the mirror is crucial for the device overall operation. In this...

Process Algebraic - Performance Modeling of Embedded Software

A compiler for embedded platforms has many optimization flags providing code size and speed improvement. Traditional profiling methods take lot of time to identify the best combination of the compiler flags to suit the requirement especially if the software stack is very huge. AUTOSAR is one such growing software market in which there is a need...

Implementation of Nexus: Dynamic Hardware Management Support for Multicore Platforms

Current trends in computer architecture focus on multicore platforms. The target of these new platforms is to scale the performance of the system with the number of cores. However, the performance of current archictectures is limited due to thread-level parallelism overhead and programmability. StarSS is a task-based programming model that eases...

Evaluation Methodology and Systematic Selection of Microcontrollers for Delfi-n3Xt Nanosatellite

IWEX: Mapping on current high performance architectures

IWEX stands for Invers Wavefield Extrapolation and is commonly used in seismic exploration. Niels Pörtzgen[15] showed that this technique can also be used for inspection of welds. This thesis describes two domains in which the IWEX algorithm can be calculated. The time domain which has a quantization problem and the frequency domain which is...

WATCH-OVER: A cooperative approach on vulnerable road user protection

Every year many vulnerable road users get injured or die in accidents with vehicles that could have been prevented if the vehicle driver and the vulnerable road user were aware of the dangerous situation that was ahead. Besides non-technical aids like road safety education and wearing lights for more visibility, there are numerous road safety...

FPGA-ontwerp audio-netwerk voor VoIP-telefoon prototype: Ontwerprapport

In this thesis a design report is given for implementing Voip functionality on a FPGA. More specifically, the Voip functionality is coded in software (C) and executed on a Nios II softcore. This NiosII is a Verilog description which is programmed onto the vga with the specific drivers for the audio codec and network controller.
