An Energy-Efficient Reconfigurable Interface for Resonant Sensors Based On Ring-Down Measurement

This thesis discusses the theory, architecture design, circuit design and measurements of an ultra-low-energy reconfigurable interface circuit for resonant gas sensors. This interface circuit employs a transient measurement method. The resonant sensor is driven at a frequency close to its resonance frequency by an excitation source that is...

Development of a Software Architecture for a Reconfigurable Aircraft Design System

Aircraft design systems are frequently used to synthesize aircraft designs. However, it is inherently difficult to reconfigure these software systems to facilitate a broader range of design studies (e.g. optimization or sensitivity studies) and to address follow-up questions about the synthesized aircraft designs. This report presents an...
