Model-based economic analysis of electrification in railway - Understanding the impact of track, operations, and uncertainties

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Florian Mueller

This paper presents results on the impact of different tracks on the economic viability of track electrification for regional railway. Since regional railway still heavily relies on pollutive diesel propulsion systems, track electrification can be key to r ...

Power Analysis Resilient SRAM Design Implemented with a 1% Area Overhead Impedance Randomization Unit for Security Applications

Robert Giterman

Power analysis attacks are an effective tool to extract sensitive information using side-channel analysis, forming a serious threat to IoT systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Embedded memories implemented with conventional 6T SRAM macrocells often dominate the area ...

Accessible Superchiral Near-Fields Driven by Tailored Electric and Magnetic Resonances in All-Dielectric Nanostructures

Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Yasaman Jahani, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi

Detection and differentiation of enantiomers in small quantities are crucially important in many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacy. Chiral molecules manifest their handedness in their interaction with the chiral state of light ( ...

Pulses in Upward Negative Lightning at the Säntis Tower in Northeastern Switzerland

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Davide Pavanello, Lixia He

Upward lightning happens predominantly from tall objects. The channel-base currents associated with upward negative lightning initiated from towers exhibit pulses that can be classified, based on their waveform features and on the concurrence with other pr ...

AC/DC Ratio Enhancement in Photoplethysmography Using a Pinned Photodiode

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma, Antonino Caizzone

Photoplethysmography (PPG) enables non-invasive vitals monitoring. Nevertheless, it is intrinsically limited by the extremely small AC/DC ratio, also called perfusion-index (PI). This increases the dynamic-range requirements to reliably process the PPG wav ...

Integrated Design, Optimization, and Experimental Realization of a Steam-Driven Micro Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems

Patrick Hubert Wagner

This thesis presents the results of the design and experimental investigation of a patented 10 kWel solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system with a thermally-driven anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) fan, the so-called fan-turbine unit (FTU). The system has the ...

Design and Experimental Realization of a Steam-Driven Micro Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner

The Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (LAMD) designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested a novel steam-driven anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) fan for 10 kWel solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems. Due to the dynamic steam-lubricated bearings, ...

In Situ Electric Field Skyrmion Creation in Magnetoelectric Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Marco Cantoni, Fabrizio Carbone, Ping Huang

Exploiting additional degrees of freedom in solid-state materials may be the most-promising solution when approaching the quantum limit of Moore's law for the conventional electronic industry. Recently discovered topologically nontrivial spin textures, sky ...

Flexible fabric-based wearable solid-state supercapacitor

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Bo Meng

In this paper, we present a novel wearable flexible supercapacitor with the conductive carbon-nanotube (CNT)/fabric electrode and PVA/H3PO4 solid-state electrolyte, which is cost-effective and can be easily mass produced. Two kinds of fabric as the electro ...
