Faux Corbu
The article illustrates a prototype developed by the office Dogma for communal living which is a reinterpreation of Le Corbusier’s project for Villa Bazieau built in Carthage (1928-30). Dogma’s prototype is also a reinterpretation of both Le Corbusier’s fi ...
Accattone2024Designing for Intimate Wellbeing: Aidee, a Qualitative Approach To Urine Home Monitoring
Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Emily Clare Groves, Margherita Motta
Despite the widespread use of self-tracking technologies for promoting personal wellbeing, there is limited research on the monitoring of intimate data, particularly urine. To shed light on the design possibilities within this unexplored domain we designed ...
2024Design of a Flexure-Based Flywheel for the Storage of Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy
Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Patrick Robert Flückiger
The flywheel is a widespread mechanical component used for the storage of kinetic energy and angular momentum. It typically consists of cylindrical inertia rotating about its axis on rolling bearings, which involves undesired friction, lubrication, and wea ...
2024Thermal Design of a Medium Voltage Modular Multilevel Converter Cell
Drazen Dujic, Yanick Patrick Frei
This paper presents the cooling concept for a medium voltage modular multilevel converter cell. To optimize power density, the metallic enclosure is used to dissipate the heat generated by semiconductor losses, while maintaining maximum temperatures below ...
IEEE2023Assessing the implementation of user-centred design standards on assistive technology for persons with visual impairments: a systematic review
Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Mario Andres Chavarria Varon
Despite scientific and technological advances in the field of assistive technology (AT) for people with visual impairment (VI), technological designs are frequently based on a poor understanding of the physical and social context of use, resulting in devic ...
Lausanne2023impresso Text Reuse at Scale. An interface for the exploration of text reuse data in semantically enriched historical newspapers
Maud Ehrmann, Matteo Romanello
Text Reuse reveals meaningful reiterations of text in large corpora. Humanities researchers use text reuse to study, e.g., the posterior reception of influential texts or to reveal evolving publication practices of historical media. This research is often ...
2023Modeling, Optimization and Design of High Power Medium Frequency Transformers
Nowadays, direct current (DC) technology is increasing its presence in alternating current (AC) power systems. This trend is enabled by the progress in energy conversion through semiconductor devices and power electronics. Therefore, it is possible to imag ...
EPFL2023Co-Designing a Teacher Tool for Visualizing Self-Regulated Learning Behaviors
Flipped classrooms, in which students engage with the materials before the class and use face-to-face time for more interactive and personalized learning activities, have become increasingly popular in recent years. While this approach has the potential to ...
2023Mobile eye tracking applied as a tool for customer experience research in a crowded train station
Train stations have increasingly become crowded, necessitating stringent requirements in the design of stations and commuter navigation through these stations. In this study, we explored the use of mobile eye tracking in combination with observation and a ...
2023Time Reverse Impulse Demonstrator Force Sensing Surface
The goal of this project is to design, build and test a 3D touch-sensing interface prototype capable of reading input positional and force values that then generate sinusoidal sound waves. This prototype is intended to be integrated onto a haptic feedback ...
