Formulation and processing of screen-printing vehicles for sacrificial layers on thick-film and LTCC substrates

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Yannick Sébastien Fournier

Ceramic technologies such as thick-film and LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) are excellent platforms for the fabrication of mesoscale devices such as sensors, actuators, microreactors and MEMS packaging. This work presents two alternative screen-prin ...

Cooperative Localization for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Alexander Bahr

The absence of GPS underwater makes navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) a difficult challenge. Without an external reference in the form of acoustic beacons at known positions, the vehicle has to rely on proprioceptive information obtained ...

Assistance énergétique à base de supercondensateurs pour véhicules à propulsion électrique et hybride

Blaise Destraz

So far in the Twenty-first century the field of people transportation has had numerous setbacks, of these some are related to air pollution and some to the rarefaction of petroleum sources. Studies have been undertaken within this domain for many years now ...

Joint acoustic-video fingerprinting of vehicles, part I

Volkan Cevher

We address vehicle classification and mensuration problems using acoustic and video sensors. In this paper, we show how to estimate a vehicle's speed, width, and length by jointly estimating its acoustic wave-pattern using a single passive acoustic sensor ...

Mix-Zones for Location Privacy in Vehicular Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Maxime Raya

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. To do so, vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. However, this frequent messaging (e.g ...

Joint acoustic-video fingerprinting of vehicles, part II

Volkan Cevher

In this second paper, we first show how to estimate the wheelbase length of a vehicle using line metrology in video. We then address the vehicle fingerprinting problem using vehicle silhouettes and color invariants. We combine the acoustic metrology and cl ...
