A remote automated sensor station is a standalone sensing device that exists off of the grid. It has its own power source and can relay data to a central location over a satellite link. These devices are used wherever data must be autonomously collected and transmitted, where there is no grid-power, and when satellite is the most economical method for the communications link. There are diverse applications for such stations, including environmental and earth monitoring (such as remote weather stations, wildfire detection, snow depth sensors, wildlife monitoring, air quality monitoring, water quality, and landslide detection); vehicle traffic monitoring; military (such as perimieter sensing); agriculture (such as irrigation automation and monitoring); and structural monitoring (such as stress sensors on bridges and tunnels).

Students would develop a remote automated sensor station using a ViaSat modem, Transmit Receive Integrated Assembly (TRIA), and antenna. These would be integrated with a battery, a solar panel, and a microcontroller device for power management, collecting data from sensors, and transmitting the data over the satellite link. The system would also include a server application for collecting and displaying data gathered from the sensors and managing multiple remote sensors. Interns will evaluate and select components (battery, solar panel, microcontroller board, and sensors), design microcontroller software, design any circuit boards required for sensor integration, design a server application for collecting and displaying transmitted data and managing multiple remote stations, and finally deploy and test the system in a real-world off-the-grid sensing application.

Some of our products require startup and operation at temperatures well below the minimum operating temperature of the components used.  To meet these requirements, we've started embedding heater elements into the PWBs.  Last summer, a team of interns designed a process and tools to determine the heater element parameters, based on the input requirements and mechanical design.  Several test PWBs with various mechanical enclosures, along with thermal models to predict the heater performance were built.  This summer,  further validation of the test assemblies will be conducted.  Design tools will be created that analyze design requirement inputs (time, temperature, power supply/budget, mechanical/thermal structure,etc.) and calculate the required heater element parameters (power required, heater trace geometries, allowable tolerances, etc.).  The focus will be on software to support additional testing and modeling on the hardware created last summer.  New tests such as adding components to the boards, adding heatsinking material and adding vias to the PWBs will be explored as time allows.

Interns will design and implement an MPI based scalable compute farm for doing massively parallel monte-Carlo computer simulations, e.g. for block error rate simulations (BLER). MPI stands for Message Passing Interface. It is an industry standard library (API) for implementing distributed computing algorithms. Typically, the monte-carlo simulation is a command line driven program that outputs results to the screen or to a text file. Using different random seeds, one may manually run multiple copies of the monte-carlo binary executable on multiple computers (or multiple copies of the simulation on the same computer using different cores) and manually collect the results. In this project , students will use the MPI library to automate this process.

The compute farm should be capable of existing locally or existing in the Amazon EC2 service ("The Cloud"). Expected outcome would allow for an integrated modem demod+decode performance simulation capable of outputting BLER curves for all modcodes in a single 24 hour period. Reduced simulation time will allow for more rapid hardware development/verification time and faster time to market. For example, ASIC developments time could be greatly accelerated.

Phase 1) Build local compute farm

• Build a local compute farm out of 8-10x quad-core 1U rack mount computers. Install Linux OS, configure networking, configure MPI tools.
• Modify a LDPC decoder simulation to add MPI capability. Verify same BLER vs EsNo performance in MPI vs non-MPI environment. Verify simulation time speedup to target rates.

Phase 2) Static Cloud Computing

• Deploy MPI cluster to Amazon EC2 static cloud infrastructure.
• Update LDPC decoder simulation for static cloud.

Phase 3) Dynamic Cloud Computing

• Update LDPC decoder simulation to dynamically instantiate cloud computing resources. Develop a GUI for simulation monitoring and batch launching.
• Develop financial modeling tool to help engineers and resource planners trade longer simulation runtime w/ few cloud resources vs shorter simulation runtime w/ many cloud resources.

ViaSat is seeking 3 CS/CE interns for this project.

Required Skills:

• C, C++, perl, python
• Bash scripting
• Experience interacting with Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure

Gas Turbine applications include mechanical and electrical sources of ignition. Due to the need for maintenance, GT enclosures must contain air. Explosive/combustible gases are typically present in the fuels supplied to the GT or within the compressed gases. Oxygen, a source of ignition, and an explosive gas at the suitable concentration are the three major factors responsible for creating an explosive atmosphere which could lead to an explosion if adequate methods of protection are not designed within the equipment. Using electrical equipment suitable for the gas group of the explosive gas available in the area is critical for the overall safety of personnel and equipment. Due to the increasing need for using new fuels, different sources of fuels including uncommon gas mixtures are introduced in the power generation and oil & gas markets. Examples include coke oven gas and syngas.

A reliable user-friendly tool to define gas groups of different mixtures is needed to ensure developing the appropriate design. Research will include studying the rules and  limitations of the applicable codes and standards for hazardous locations, working with Solar’s subject matter experts and/or third-party consultants, and developing and testing the tool as well as a user-friendly interface. Testing of representative fuel samples at third-party labs such as PTB could be in scope as well. Feedback from Project Applications Engineering will be used to modify the tool as needed.
