This thesis will present various methods of trajectory generation for various types of mobile robots. Then it will progress to evaluating Robot Operating Systems (ROS’s) that can be used to control and simulate mobile robots, and it will explain...
Floods--Kentucky--Louisville; Floods; Interiors; Basements; University of Louisville--Buildings; Mechanical systems; Debris
Dirt and mud cover piles of tangled tubing, plastic sheeting, cardboard boxes and plastic garbage cans. Pictured are the chilled water pumps that Physical Plant uses to cool the buildings. All of the motors for all of the equipment were replaced....
Existing treatment programs and procedures are incapable of addressing the complications encountered with patients who experience spasticity and hypertonia related joint contractures. Current passive therapy procedures and devices are only capable...
Night vision--Genetic aspects; Vision disorders--Genetic aspects
Mutations in the NYX gene, encoding the novel protein nyctalopin, cause human congenital stationary night blindness type 1 (CSNB1). CSNB1 is an X-linked recessive condition and is identified by a loss of the electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave while the...
All terrain vehicles--Automatic control; Motor vehicles--Automatic control; Intelligent control systems
When tracked vehicles traverse terrain such as sand, soil, or even concrete,
they may encounter a variance in density or viscosity of the medium that the
vehicle is traveling along. When this happens, one track begins to move faster or
slower...

Plastic sheeting hangs from the ceiling of the mechanical level of the University of Louisville College of Education and Human Development (renamed the Woodford R. and Harriett B. Porter Building in September 2010). The floor of the room appears to...
Advertisement for Ennis Motors. The poster has a picture of a man with a speech bubble that reads "I Can Pay More Cash For Your Car Because I Ship to Western Market W.F. Ennis." The text at the bottom reads "Ennis Motors 2519 W....
Address: 2600 W. Broadway, Louisville, Kentucky. A girl in a knee-length skirt, top and cap in what looks like jockey silk takes a curtsey next to a convertible car on a stage. Four African American musicians wearing hats reading "Jazz...
Wheel Slide Protection Systems (WSP Systems) or Anti-Skid Devices for rail vehicles have to go through a series of Dynamometer tests before test runs with equipped rail vehicles are permitted. The simulation tests are performed on Wheel Slide...
This work presents a novel comprehensive effort to understand the fluid dynamics within orbiting dishes and the effects of the resulting oscillating fluid flow on shear and endothelial cellular responses within the dishes. It is well documented...
This dissertation demonstrates an elegant method, known as 'micro-origami' or strain architecture to design and fabricate three-dimensional MEMS structures which are assembled using actuation of a metal-oxide bilayer with conventional planar...
The management of power and the optimization of systems generating and using power are critical technologies. A new architecture is developed to advance the current state of the art by providing an intelligent and autonomous solution for power...
In order to study the movements of autonomous mobile robots, a tool is needed to quantify those movements. A testbed is an apparatus that provides a designated space for multiple mobile robots while tracking their position in real-time. That...
Integrated circuits--Design and construction; Integrated circuits industry--Technological innovations
Lithographic processes for printing device structures on integrated circuits plays a major role in the semiconductor industry. This project aims at designing and fabricating a programmable mask for a direct write lithography system which can...
Algebra--Study and teaching; Academic achievement; Teachers--Attitudes
The purpose of this study was to investigate various secondary to postsecondary mathematics transition issues for students. Making successful transitions from high school to postsecondary study has become necessary if our nation's young people are...
Air void structure in hardened concrete is critical to its durability. This project mainly focuses on investigating the air void system in hardened concrete with the microscopic analysis Linear Traverse Method specified by ASTM Specification...
