On the Maximum Power Density of Implanted Antennas within Simplified Body Phantoms

Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus, Mingxiang Gao

With the application requirements of wireless technology in implantable bioelectronics, knowledge of the fundamental limits for implanted antennas becomes critical. In this work, we investigated the variation of maximum power density within simplified body ...

Two-dimensional modelling of transient capillary driven damped micro-oscillations and self-alignment of objects in microassembly

François Gallaire

In the fields of microgripping and microassembly, the self-alignment motion of a solid micro-object linked by a liquid meniscus to a substrate or a tool is an inexpensive way to overcome the current limitations of the assembly processes at microscale by ge ...

Spherical cap harmonic analysis (SCHA) for characterising the morphology of rough surface patches

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area distortion for paramet ...

Infinitesimal asphericity changes the universality of the jamming transition

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostaticity is ensured in the case of the jamming of spherical particles. This stru ...

A Weak Form Implementation of Nonlinear Axisymmetric Shell Equations With Examples

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla

We present a weak form implementation of the nonlinear axisymmetric shell equations. This implementation is suitable to study the nonlinear deformations of axisymmetric shells, with the capability of considering a general mid-surface shape, non-homogeneous ...

Specification of aspherical surfaces used as refractive elements in micro-optical systems

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

The optical performance of refractive plano-convex microlenses is mainly related to the quality of their (a)spherical surface. An efficient tolerancing of this surface is a key step towards the manufacturing of high quality microlenses. However, we demonst ...

Geometry Aware Convolutional Filters for Omnidirectional Images Representation

Pascal Frossard, Renata Khasanova

Due to their wide field of view, omnidirectional cameras are frequently used by autonomous vehicles, drones and robots for navigation and other computer vision tasks. The images captured by such cameras, are often analyzed and classified with techniques de ...

Graph-Based Detection of Seams In 360-Degree Images

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Sohyeong Kim, Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect a specific kind of distortions, referred to as seams, which commonly occur when a 360-degree image is represented in planar domain by projecting the sphere to a polyhedron, e.g, via the Cube Map (CM) project ...

Spherical Clustering of Users Navigating 360° Content

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Laura Toni

In Virtual Reality (VR) applications, understanding how users explore the omnidirectional content is important to optimize content creation, to develop user-centric services, or even to detect disorders in medical applications. Clustering users based on th ...

Spherical Network Visualizations

Dario Rodighiero

Data visualization is a recent domain that founds his roots in the eighties, but its history dates back to more ancient times in other representations such as diagrams, drawings, or maps. In particular, data visualization is hard to take advantage of the h ...
