Self-tracking planar concentrator using a solar actuated phase-change mechanism
Christophe Moser, Volker Günter Zagolla, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie
In this paper we discuss optical considerations and present design simulation results for a self-tracking (passive) solar concentrator. The self-tracking mechanism uses a reversible in-plane paraffin thermal actuator to couple short-wavelength light into a ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2013Quantifying Location Privacy: The Case of Sporadic Location Exposure
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Reza Shokri, Georgios Theodorakopoulos
Mobile users expose their location to potentially untrusted entities by using location-based services. Based on the frequency of location exposure in these applications, we divide them into two main types: Continuous and Sporadic. These two location exposu ...
Springer-Verlag Berlin2011Semantic Trajectories
Thanks to the rapid development of mobile sensing technologies (like GPS, GSM, RFID, accelerometer, gyroscope, sound and other sensors in smartphones), the large-scale capture of evolving positioning data (called mobility data or trajectories) generated by ...
EPFL2011On the use of brain decoded signals for online user adaptive gesture recognition systems
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Andrea Biasiucci, Daniel Roggen
Activity and context recognition in pervasive and wearable computing ought to continuously adapt to changes typical of open-ended scenarios, such as changing users, sensor characteristics, user expectations, or user motor patterns due to learning or aging. ...
2010Methods and device to quantify human physical activity pattern
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu
The method for analyzing physical activity of a subject comprises: -) measuring at least one of body movement or posture of the subject using at least one sensor; -) defining a plurality of physical activity time series based on at least one of the measure ...
2009Integrated sustainability assessment for local projects
- Introduction In 1987, the need to strive towards development aimed at making it possible to satisfy the present needs without compromising the needs of future generations is generally acknowledged. The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 propagated Agenda 211, whi ...
