Observation of the cosmic-ray shadow of the Moon with IceCube

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on the observation of a significant deficit of cosmic rays from the direction of the Moon with the IceCube detector. The study of this "Moon shadow" is used to characterize the angular resolution and absolute pointing capabilities of the detector ...

GNSS/INS/Star Tracker Integrated Navigation System for Earth-Moon Transfer Orbit

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère, Vincenzo Capuano, Jia Tian, Yanguang Wang

Over the last few years, new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications have emerged that go far beyond the original objectives of GNSS which was providing position, velocity and timing (PVT) services for land, maritime, and air applications. I ...

GNSS to reach the Moon

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère, Vincenzo Capuano, Jia Tian, Yanguang Wang

Reaching the Moon poses very strict requirements in terms of performance, flexibility and cost for all the spacecraft subsystems. These requirements become more stringent if the mission is designed to be accomplished using a small satellite. The navigation ...

Modulation of motor primitives using force feedback: Interaction with the environment and bimanual tasks

Auke Ijspeert

The framework of dynamic movement primitives allows the generation of discrete and periodic trajectories, which can be modulated in various aspects. We propose and evaluate a novel modulation approach that includes force feedback and thus allows physical i ...

A Modular Timber Structure

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei

The presented reciprocal frame structure is a modular composition of timber folded panels. The overall geometry is driven from a folded plate base module which is then spartially multiplied in using Euclidean isometries. The intersection of consecutive mod ...

Analogy between Juggling and Hopping: Active Object Manipulation Approach

Auke Ijspeert

Dynamic manipulation of an active object is introduced as a general model of hopping and juggling tasks. In this setting, juggling and hopping are two extreme cases of this general model. Behavioral resemblance of these two tasks is afterwards extended to ...

Eye fixation-related potentials in change detection

Gijs Plomp

We considered the hypothesis that spontaneous dissociation between the direction of attention and eye movement causes encoding failure in change detection. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing eye fixation-related potentials (EFRP) at the encoding stage ...

Relaxed Atomic Broadcast: State-Machine Replication Using Bounded Memory

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Omid Shahmirzadi

Atomic broadcast is a useful abstraction for implementing fault-tolerant distributed applications such as state machine replication. Although a number of algorithms solving atomic broadcast have been published, the problem of bounding the memory used by th ...

ELM-wall interaction on JET and ITER

Richard Pitts

Significant interaction of ELM filaments with the vessel wall is now observed on JET by several diagnostics. To interpret the experimental data, a model of ELM-filament evolution was developed, with the radial velocity taken from experiment and the decay o ...
