  • Adaptive fuzzy systems 
    De Silva, GLPJ [Thesis-Abstract]
    Fuzzy sets offer a possibility to formally describe linguistic expressions. An adaptive fuzzy logic system not only adjusts to time or process phased conditions but also changes the supporting system controls. A real time ...
  • Tropospheric range error corrections for the global positioning system in Sri Lanka 
    Seneviratne, A [Thesis-Abstract]
    The Global Positioning System is the most accurate positioning and navigation system in use today. It uses the time of arrival of radio signals transmitted from satellites placed in high altitude orbits around the globe. ...
  • PC-based image reconstruction for MR imaging 
    Hettiwatte, SN [Thesis-Abstract]
    Reconstruction is the abstract rebuilding of something that has been torn apart. In the medical imaging context, it is often necessary to acquire data from methods that essentially tear data apart in order to be able to ...
