Endoscopic low coherence interferometry applied to tri-dimensional contouring of upper airways
This thesis presents a novel approach for optical tri-dimensional contouring, requiring only one acquisition to extract a contour depth. It is based on an interferometric setup, using a reduced coherence light source, and is fully adaptable to endoscopic p ...
EPFL2009Method for retrieving data from ultra wideband radio transmission signals and receiver implementing said method
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Manuel Flury
The present invention concerns a receiver and a method for retrieving data from Ultra wideband radio transmission signals received by a receiver and transmitted in packets containing at least a preamble known to the receiver and a payload containing data u ...
2009Entity Search with NECESSITY
Zoltán Miklós, Saket Sathe, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Nicolas Bonvin, Ekaterini Ioannou, Anshul Jain
Loosely structured heterogeneous information spaces are typically created by merging data from a variety of different applications and information sources. A common problem these information spaces need to address is that various data describe the same rea ...
2009Optimistic Erasure-Coded Distributed Storage
Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta
We study erasure-coded atomic register implementations in an asynchronous crash-recovery model. Erasure coding provides a cheap and space-efficient way to tolerate failures in a distributed system. This paper presents ORCAS, Optimistic eRasure-Coded Atomic ...
2008Growth and magnetism of 2D bimetallic nanostructures
This thesis addresses the growth and magnetic characterization of 2D bimetallic nanostructures deposited by atomic beam epitaxy (ABE) on Pt(111). These structures possess both tunable high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and magnetic moment. These ...
EPFL2008Optimistic Erasure Coded Distributed Storage
Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta
Erasure coded storage provides a cheap and space efficient way to tolerate failures through the use of networked commodity servers. Erasure coded data is kept on n different servers out of which f can fail. By combining encoded blocks from n-f servers, the ...

2008Real-time suboptimal model predictive control using a combination of explicit MPC and online optimization
Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger
Limits on the storage space or the computation time restrict the applicability of model predictive controllers (MPC) in many real problems. Currently available methods either compute the optimal controller online or derive an explicit control law. In this ...
IEEE2008Data storage device and refreshing method for use with such device
A data storage device such as a DRAM memory having a plurality of data storage cells 10 is disclosed. Each data storage cell 10 has a physical parameter which varies with time and represents one of two binary logic states. A selection circuit 16, writing c ...
2007Integrated Micro Hall Sensor on SU-8 Cantilever
For further miniaturization of magnetic data storage devices, instruments for exploring magnetic nanostructures are needed. Hall sensors provide a non invasive technique for quantitative magnetic field detection. In contrast to the highly sensitive semicon ...
