In a variety of applications spanning mobile devices, performance computing, and even renewable energy and automotive, power management and power delivery are an increasing bottleneck in reducing size and cost, improving reliability, and even...
Today''s fastest microprocessors, logic chips, and even memory chips employ dynamic logic as the key part to achieving advanced performance. Dynamic logic only retains the correct data state briefly and is far less robust than previous technologies...
A fiber can transmit around 25 Tbit/s, but electronic signal processing today is performed at much slower speeds, usually 1-10 Gbit/s. To avoid this "bottleneck" in optical fiber communication systems, all signal processing will have to be done...

Mitotic apparatuses from sea urchin embryos contain a protein (p62), previously shown to be required for mitotic progression. This protein localizes to the mitotic apparatus during cell division in urchin embryos and mammalian tissue culture cells....

Self-reconfiguring robots are robots composed of many physically connected modules which can change their structural configuration to support multiple functionalities. We claim that self-reconfiguring robots are more versatile, extensible, and...
Computer generated 3-D images are proving useful in a wide variety of applications including data visualization, computer animation, virtual reality, telepresence and terrain generation. High-end applications in these fields require images to be...

The work in this thesis deals with a novel approach for detecting and tracking chemical plumes in distributed sensor networks. The ultimate objective is solving the inverse location problem: given unknown sources released at unknown times, the...
This thesis approaches the problem of locating zero-day exploits used in network attacks. The hypothesis is that the advent of high-performance virtualization presents a unique opportunity to both discover these events and increase the attacker's...
