Chips built out of spin transistors would be faster and more powerful than traditional ones and, farther down the road, may feature such new and remarkable properties as the ability to change their logic functions on the fly.
‘By resetting the velocity to zero during these pauses, or intervals, the accumulated error can be greatly reduced,’ said Dan Stancil, professor and head of North Carolina State’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and co-author of a...
Dan Stancil isn’t falling for it. The head of N.C. State University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department has helped design a gadget that would pick up where a GPS signal can’t reach – such as underground, deep inside a building, or...
The technology works in conjunction with GPS, with the IMU tracking your movement after you lose a GPS signal – and ultimately providing you with location data relevant to your last known location via GPS.
New semiconductor-based devices for managing power on the grid could make the “smart grid” even smarter. They would allow electric vehicles to be charged fast and let utilities incorporate large amounts of solar and wind power without blackouts or power...
To figure out how people reliably assemble all the visual information on a roadway – lane markings, traffic signs, other vehicles, obstacles, and so on – Snyder and his colleagues are testing a computer program that visually forms a “consensus”...
Wesley Snyder, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, says the research could become the next generation of auto safety, with features that can allow vehicles to stay in their lanes, avoid traffic and gracefully react to emergency situations
The novelty is primarily in how we accumulate evidence. Our approach uses evidence from many locations to vote for where the lanes are and which direction they are facing.’ It’s a big step towards a more reliable and accurate vision-based driving...
Huiyang Zhou, an electrical and computer engineering professor at North Carolina State University, has been working to develop tools to help researchers like West better use the GPU
Breakthroughs in battery and related technologies began about four years ago. They continue at a rapid clip, and nowhere faster than in a research center on N.C. State University’s Centennial Campus, aptly named the FREEDM Systems Center
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a computer program that allows a car to drive without human control, opening the door to the development of new automobile safety features that could save lives
This would work with anything you can create an electronic sensor for,’ said Dan Stancil, co-author of the study in the September issue of Proceedings of the IEEE and professor and head of North Carolina State University’s department of electrical and...
The scheme is rather simple but it could amount to huge cost savings for builders, as it saves the materials and time needed to physically connect sensors within a structure
Competing against 20 other teams, Courier’s group won first place in the Team Excellence category for their project entitled ‘Reconfigurable Computing Telepresence Robot.
Protecting computer systems from malicious attack using complex software solutions is a constant, but necessary, struggle. As threats become more sophisticated, the technology used to fight them off can impact more and more on system performance. According to...
This is a game-changer in modern warfare,’ said Maj. Gen. Nick Justice, who came from Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland to give Steer a special civilian award – the U.S. Army Commander’s Award for Public Service – at a ceremony Thursday on...
Researchers from North Carolina State University now say they have devised a display that would allow visually challenged users to read a full page at a time – and at a much lower cost than existing displays
North Carolina State University researchers take the first steps toward making an affordable and more dynamic Braille display
The paper with the catch title ‘MMT: Exploiting Fine-Grained Parallelism in Dynamic Memory Management,’ was penned by North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers Devesh Tiwari, Sanghoon Lee, James Tuck, and Yan Solihin
Researchers from North Carolina State University have come up with a way to break up programs into different threads, resulting in a 20 percent increase in run speed
