Jordan Anderson and Dr. Doran Wilde, Electrical and Computer Engineering The goal of this project was to write a hardware description of a new microprocessor in a language called VHDL that can be built inside a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The processor will run real-time applications and take advantage of the programmability of FPGA hardware […]
Scanning Impedance Imaging: Optimizing Frequency and Conductivity for Cancer Cell Imaging
Ben Zhang and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Electrical and Computer Engineering The ability to scan individual cancer cells that are alive has always fascinated the biomedical research community. Unfortunately, modern day imaging tools, such as atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, have not been successful in achieving that goal. The Scanning Impedance Imaging […]
A Coordinated Sensing Algorithm for an Ad-Hoc Sensing Network
Britton Quist and Dr. Lee Swindlehurst, Electrical and Computer Engineering Sensor deployment and placement has a myriad of applications. In everything from wildlife monitoring to underwater microphone surveillance to UAV (unmanned air vehicle) battlefield surveillance the placement of sensors is essential for proper coverage. Often these devices (nodes) communicate as an Ad-Hoc network where data […]
Cancer Cell Research
Jacey C. Morine and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Electrical and Computer Engineering Cancer cell research is an exciting field of study that has involved a variety of disciplines. In my area of research, I was involved on the electrical engineering side of cancer cell research. We used a small scanning probe that was able to image […]
High-speed Tunable MEMS Filter
Seth Lloyd and Dr. Richard Selfridge, Electrical and Computer Engineering Optical fiber sensors offer a viable alternative to traditional electronic sensors because of their small size and high immunity to environmental phenomena. While many researchers focus on developing and applying new optical sensing technologies, there is also a great need for better fiber sensor interrogators. […]
Fabrication and Characterization of Electroosmotic Pumps for Protein Separation and Integration into ARROW Structure
Donald B. Conkey and Dr. Aaron R. Hawkins, Electrical and Computer Engineering Electroosmotic pumps have been fabricated and tested made with a thin-film deposition process compatible with standard silicon processing. This methodology relies upon chemical vapor deposition and chemical sacrificial etching to form long hollow fluid channels. Fabricating pumps in this way is attractive because […]
MANAGING TRAFFIC ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY
Robert W. Walthall and Dr. Mark Clement, Electrical Engineering This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a method of controlling the flow of traffic on the information highway. A new network protocol, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, is being developed to support applications that will run on the infohighway. These applications will include current data […]
Microfabrication of Electron Sources
Jeffrey Maas and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Electrical Engineering Microfabrication of Electron Sources as it applies to Chemical Sensors has been a useful project. With the decreasing dimensions of the handheld mass spectrometer it is becoming increasingly more important to develop an on board electron source for localized source emission. This project has been undertaken as […]
Real-Time Path Planning for Unmanned Air Vehicles
Andrew Curtis and Dr. Randal Beard, Electrical and Computer Engineering Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) have become an important research topic in recent years. Military and civilian groups desire to use UAVs for several purposes, including surveillance, search and rescue, communications relays, and warfare. In the MAGICC Lab at BYU, we are researching low-cost methods of […]
Base Enlarged Microfluidic Channels for Capillary Chromatography and Electrophoresis
Craig L Christianson and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Electrical and Computer Engineering Purpose The purpose of this project is to build a microfluidic channel using the planar thin film method while increasing the cross-sectional area of the channel by extending the base of the channel down into the substrate. Procedure The base enlarged channel procedure is […]
