Single Ion Detection for Mass Spectrometry using Low Capacitance MOSFETs

January 19, 2016 by admin

Matthew Hamblin and Aaron Hawkins, Electrical Engineering   Introduction Mass spectrometry is an important tool for analytical chemistry that allows the chemical composition of a compound to be determined. In order to do so, it separates the compound into ions, and then detects the number of ions of different masses. The charge on a single ion […]

Near Coastal Winds for Everyone: Targeting Near Coastal Regions for Special Wind Retrieval Processing

April 16, 2014 by admin

Forrest Minor and Dr. David Long, Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduction Microwave scatterometers, which use radar backscatter measurements from satellites to infer wind vectors near the ocean’s surface, have the ability to monitor global wind speeds at high resolutions. Such data is used for weather forecasting and climate research. However, scatterometer observations over the ocean […]

FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL OF AN INVERTED PENDULUM

February 14, 2014 by admin

Sean Lynn McKell, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Overview A little-known phenomenon recently explored by a few engineers seems, to some, to be a little out of focus. This phenomenon, dubbed “fuzzy logic” by its inventor, Lotfi A. Zadeh, is an oxymoron to mostit connotes something ethereal and misplaced in a field such as […]
