Master of Science Thesis Defense by: A.M. Esfar-E-Alam
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: Cloud Based Wireless Health and Its Application of Sleep Monitoring
Location: College of Engineering Conference Room, Textiles Building (TXT), Room 101E
Abstract:
In this project, I developed a system combining Internet of Things (IOT) devices and cloud that can help us to achieve a sustainable ECG monitoring. The project also applied some techniques such as data analytics, noise reduction and feature extraction to processing ECG signal with the power of parallel processing in cloud environment. In addition, I also focus on detecting sleep behavior using video processing techniques. The sleep monitoring system could help find the pattern of people's sleep behavior and could provide some health suggestions. Sleep monitoring using video processing along with wireless sensors such as for ECG sensors can also reduce the overall system cost and help the detection of life threatening events during sleep. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system are also demonstrated.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.

- Description: THERMOACOUSTIC ENGINES & REFRIGERATION by Steven L. Garrett (CCB-247)
Abstract: The generation of sound by heat has been documented as an acoustical curiosity since a Buddhist monk reported the loud tone generated by a ceremonial rice-cooker in his diary, in 1568. The first qualitative explanation of such phenomena was provided by Lord Rayleigh in 1878: If heat be given to the air at the moment of greatest condensation or be taken from it at the moment of greatest rarefaction, the vibration is encouraged. It was not until the work of Nikolas Rott and his collaborators, in the 1970's that a hydrodynamic theory was created and the term thermoacoustics was introduced. In the early 1980's, it was shown that the opposite effect was also possible: high-amplitude sound waves could produce useful amounts of refrigeration. This presentation will introduce the fundamentals of thermoacoustic heat transfer and will describe several thermoacoustic engines that were created to generate high-amplitude sound from a variety of heat sources (e.g., waste heat, solar energy, and nuclear fission) as well as several thermoacoustic refrigerators that include an electronics cooler flown on the Space Shuttle Discovery, a chiller that cooled two racks of radar electronics on a US Navy warship, and a sales cabinet for Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Development of these devices created new challenges related to the design of heat exchangers for acoustically-oscillatory gas flows and high-powered electrodynamic sound sources capable of producing several kilowatts of acoustic power at electroacoustic efficiencies as high as 90%. To date, no thermoacoustic engine or refrigerator is being produced commercially but research to improve our understanding of these processes is ongoing.
