Automatic Color Palette Creation from Words

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

We present an automatic framework to extract color palettes from words. This is a novel approach in comparison to existing solutions, e.g. manual creation or extraction from images. The associations between words and colors are deduced from a large databas ...

Integration of explicit supply-demand interactions in airline schedule planning and fleet assignment

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

In airline scheduling problems, integrated decision methodologies have aroused intense interest in the last decade. These integrated approaches allow for more efficient solutions due to the simultaneous decision making process. The studied integrated model ...

Zero-crossing approach to high-resolution reconstruction in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Arno Pino Bouwens, Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula

We address the problem of high-resolution reconstruction in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography (FDOCT). The traditional method employed uses the inverse discrete Fourier transform, which is limited in resolution due to the Heisenberg uncertainty ...

Gasification of Hay in a Bench Scale Fluidised Bed Reactor with Emphasis on the Suitability for Gas Turbines

Christian Ludwig, Marco Wellinger

Thermal gasification of pasture plants (hay) is so far considered as difficult mainly due to the high amount of inorganics (ash, alkalis). Under certain circumstances it could be an additional resource for power production. There has been some experiments ...

An Olfactory-Based Robot Swarm Navigation Method

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents a novel robot swarming navigation algorithm in order to find the odor sources in an unknown environment, based on the ability of each swarm member to sense the odor. Each robot in the swarm has a cooperative localization system which us ...

Progress on the ITER H&D EC Upper Launcher Steering-Mirror Control System

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Jean-Daniel Landis, Frédéric Dolizy, Francisco Sanchez, Robert Bertizzolo

The ITER Heating and Current Drive Upper Launcher (H&CD EC UL) uses a pneumomechanical steering-mirror assembly (SMA) to steer the RF beams for their deposition in the appropriate location in the plasma to control magnetohydrodynamic activity (neoclassical ...

Compiling generics through user-directed type specialization

Martin Odersky, Iulian Dragos

Compilation of polymorphic code through type erasure gives compact code but performance on primitive types is significantly hurt. Full specialization gives good performance, but at the cost of increased code size and compilation time. Instead we propose a ...

Factoring end-user expectations into the sound design process of computer keyboards

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet

The poor acoustic comfort of usual commercial products is often perceived as annoying. Today, more and more companies have realized that sound can be an important component of product attributes and image. They are interested in having acoustic guidelines ...
