Active control of the acoustic impedance of walls in rooms allows fine control of the reverberation in auditoria. Such active materials may use locally reacting cells comprising a transducer connected to an electronic control circuit. In this paper, a simp ...
The existence of the fundamental conflict in churches between the desirable acoustic conditions for music and for speech intelligibility prompted this dissertation. It tackles the subject not only under the acoustical perspective but also in the historical ...
An analytical model is proposed that can predict the shape of the poststimulus time histogram (PSTH) response to a current pulse of a neuron subjected to uncorrelated background input. The model is based on an explicit description of noise in the form of a ...
Two-dimensional (2D) lattices of diffusively coupled chaotic oscillators are studied. In previous work, it was shown that various cluster synchronization regimes exist when the oscillators are identical. Here, analytical and numerical studies allow us to c ...
We present a new two-axis fluxgate magnetometer fully integrated in CMOS technology. The magnetometer exhibits excellent sensitivity of 2700 V/T and the magnetic equivalent noise spectral density of 6nT/√Hz at 1 Hz. The total power consumption is as low as ...
A common phenomenon in Francis turbines is draft tube surge. In these fixed-bladed machines, a strong runner outlet swirl can develop under off-design conditions. The action of the diffuser, and in particular the draft tube elbow, on the rotating flow fiel ...
A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm developed at the Laboratory of Industrial Energy Systems is used to determine the best technological solutions to satisfy the electrical needs of a remote community. Simulations of the community are based on a super ...
We study the impact of interferences on the connectivity of large-scale ad-hoc networks, using percolation theory. We assume that a bi-directional connection can be set up between two nodes if the signal to noise ratio at reception is larger than some thre ...
Noise radiated by different industrial structures that surround us in daily life are more and more considered as environmental pollution. Standards defining a tolerable sound level for each of these noise sources are regularly called into question and resp ...
The brushless DC motors are normally built with rotor mounted PMs, which create the necessary back EMF voltage to produce a mechanical power. The shape of this back-EMF voltage is very important compared to the phase voltage supply one. Indeed, the electro ...
