1. Convolutional-LSTM for IGBTs Prognostics and Age Monitoring : Designing a neural network for predicting aging precursors in power devices
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : In recent years, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to the field of prognostics and age-related degradation, with major focus on higher complexity devices. However, relatively little attention has been given to power devices, such as Insulated Bipolar Gate Transistors (IGBTs), despite their critical role in high power electronic applications. READ MORE

2. Range-based Wireless Sensor Network Localization for Planetary Rovers
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : Obstacles faced in planetary surface exploration require innovation in many areas, primarily that of robotics. To be able to study interesting areas that are by current means hard to reach, such as steep slopes, ravines, caves andlava tubes, the surface vehicles of today need to be modified or augmented.

3. High resolution imaging observations of exoplanet host stars
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : This is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. READ MORE

4. TWIST : Twelve Bar Intelligently Simulated Tensegrity
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : One of the biggest challenges of putting a robot on an extraterrestrial surface is the entry, descent and landing. By making the robot impact resistant, the need for landing thrusters and parachutes is reduced, lowering the weight and cost of an interplanetary robotic mission. READ MORE

5. An Experimental Study of the High-Lift System and Wing-Body Junction Wake Flow Interference of the NASA Common Research Model
University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteoriAbstract : This thesis investigates the turbulent flow in the wake of the wing-body junction of the NASA Common Research Model to further reveal its complex vortical structure and to contribute to the reference database used for Computational Fluid Dynamics validation activities. Compressible flows near two wall-boundary layers occurs not only at the wing-body junction but at every control surface of an airplane, therefore increased knowledge about this complex flow structure could potentially improve the estimates of drag performance and control surface efficiency, primarily for minimizing the environmental impact of commercial flight.
