Design and fabrication of pressure-compensating compliant tubes
… methods are evaluated for producing pressure-compensating tubes for use in low-pressure drip irrigation systems. Such devices would allow drip irrigation systems to operate at driving pressures much lower than those required by current available technology, allowing for cost and water savings …

Compensating for On-Body Placement Effects in Activity Recognition
This thesis investigates, how placement variations of electronic devices influence the possibility of using sensors integrated in those devices for context recognition. The vast majority of context recognition research assumes well defined, fixed sen- sor locations. Although this might be …

Compensating sequences for robust quantum control of trapped-ion qubits
… impeded by systematic drifts and other errors. Compensating composite pulse sequences are a resource efficient technique for quantum error reduction. This work describes compensating sequences for ion-trap quantum computers. We introduce a Lie-algebraic framework which unifies all known …

Design and manufacturing of modular self-compensating hydrostatic journal bearings
… to install and maintain. Self-regulating or self-compensating bearings do not need any external devices to achieve load-carrying capability and they do not add to the total degrees of freedom of the system. However, in many cases the proposed designs require multiple precision manufacturing steps …

Effect of geometry under emitter membrane on pressure compensating performance
In order to better understand pressure compensating drip irrigation emitters, an experiment was carried out in order to characterize the effects of emitter dimensions under the membrane on emitter performance. Emitter performance was characterized by two models, an overdamped model and a piecewise …

An Analysis Of Shift Work: Compensating Differentials And Local Economic Conditions
The theory of compensating differentials asserts that workers facing undesirable work conditions, such as night shift work, should receive compensating wage differentials. The theory assumes that workers can easily find jobs with desirable characteristics; thus, compensating wages are necessary to …

Design Theory for Channel-less, Low-Pressure, Pressure-Compensating Drip Emitters
… deflection with experimentally observed pressure-compensating (PC) regions for a series of emitters with varying lands depths and outlet positions. Experiments of nine channel-less emitters resulted in six emitters with PC capabilities and activation pressures as low as 0.4 bar and flow rates …

Design and experimental study on pressure compensating emitters in drip irrigation
This thesis aims to solve the basic physics behind the collapsible tube dripper design used in drip irrigation. A study was performed on the dynamics of the flow limitation of collapsible tubes. Two parameters were studied: outlet hole diameter and effective length. Prototypes were made varying …

Compensating for model uncertainty in the control of cooperative field robots
Current control and planning algorithms are largely unsuitable for mobile robots in unstructured field environment due to uncertainties in the environment, task, robot models and sensors. A key problem is that it is often difficult to directly measure key information required for the control of …

Improved Methods for Motion-Compensating and Event-Related Spinal Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a widely used technique for non-invasive brain mapping, and methods have now evolved to allow fMRI of the spinal cord (spinal fMRI) as well. With the goal of improving spinal fMRI, the studies presented herein have investigated potential …

Design, build, and characterization of a platform for testing bio-inspired, pressure-compensating valves
… the study and testing of bio-inspired, pressure-compensating valves. Research into an inexpensive design for a pressure-compensating valve designed to address the low-cost, high water efficiency needs of subsistence farmers in developing countries has already begun through proof-of-concept …

Compensating for the effects of reduced synchronous inertia on frequency stability using virtual synchronous generators
The power grid has traditionally been dominated by large synchronous generators which have provided frequency stability through their inertia and governor responses. As more renewable energy sources (RES), particularly wind and solar, are added to the grid, they displace synchronous generators. …

LARVAL FISH EXPORT IN RESPONSE TO VARYING COMPENSATING GATE DISCHARGE AT THE SAULT RAPIDS, ST. MARYS RIVER
… Superior and Huron. Discharge is controlled by a compensating gate system upstream of the SMR rapids. Because spring and summer discharge fluctuates widely, resource managers required information on how flow variability influences larval fish drift. I estimated annual larval fish export in …
