The power requirements of RF heated sources for negative hydrogen ions in fusion are substantial, which poses strong demands on the generators and components of the RF circuit. Consequently, an increase of the RF coupling efficiency would be highly benefic ...
Under the paradigm of caching, partial data are delivered before the actual requests of users are known. In this paper, this problem is modeled as a canonical distributed source coding problem with side information, where the side information represents th ...

We formulate a new variant of the index coding problem, where instead of demanding a specific message, clients are pliable, and are interested in receiving any t messages that they do not have. We term this problem pliable index coding or PICOD(t). We prov ...
Abstract A communication system uses a bus to transmit information, by receiving signals and mapping them to a second set of signals representing codewords of a superposition signaling code, and transmitting the second set of signals. The superposition sig ...
We prove quantitative limitations on any approximate simultaneous cloning or broadcasting of mixed states. The results are based on information-theoretic (entropic) considerations and generalize the well-known no-cloning and no-broadcasting theorems. We al ...
We consider the problem of next-best view selection for volumetric reconstruction of an object by a mobile robot equipped with a camera. Based on a probabilistic volumetric map that is built in real time, the robot can quantify the expected information gai ...
As can be seen from the large number of videos of home-made dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) on YouTube, getting started making DEAs is straightforward and can be done at low cost. This chapter provides information on making two types of basic dielect ...
We present an algorithm to estimate the rotational motion of an event camera. In contrast to traditional cameras, which produce images at a fixed rate, event cameras have independent pixels that respond asynchronously to brightness changes, with microsecon ...
An optimized three-bladed horizontal-axis miniature wind turbine, called WiRE-01, with the rotor diameter of 15 cm is designed and fully characterized in Part I of this study. In the current part of the study, we investigate the interaction of the turbine ...
Upgrades to the LHCb computing infrastructure in the first long shutdown of the LHC have allowed for high quality decay information to be calculated by the software trigger making a separate offline event reconstruction unnecessary. Furthermore, the storag ...
