Automatic web-based calibration of network-capable shipboard sensors
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-09)
This thesis investigates the feasibility of developing an automatic web-based sensor calibration system with four main objectives. The first objective was to reduce the number of personnel required to calibrate shipboard ...
Vibration analysis via wireless network
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-09)
This thesis addresses the problem of early detection of fault conditions in an air compression system. Initially, pressure transducers, and MaxStream ZigBee devices, were utilized to provide data to a remote GUI interface ...
Control of a system in the presence of flexible modes
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-06)
The primary research objective is to investigate the control of flexible space structures - mobile satellite communication systems in particular. Solar-powered satellites require a high level of accuracy in attitude ...
PC104 control environment development and use for testing the dynamic accuracy of the MicroStrain 3DM-GX1 sensor
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-06)
There is a need for a standard, accurate test bench for inertia-based orientation sensors. Static accuracy testing of these sensors is straightforward but dynamic accuracy testing is more difficult. A test bench system ...
