With the increasing concerns in the impact of automotive emissions of CO2 and NOx on the environment combined with today's speculation on oil crude supply, the need to find solutions reducing the fuel consumption and emission of tomorrow's cars is more tha ...
Fountain codes are currently employed for reliable and efficient transmission of information via erasure channels with unknown erasure rates. This correspondence introduces the notion of fountain capacity for arbitrary channels. In contrast to the conventi ...
This paper investigates a cable transmission to remotely actuate MR compatible robots over a distance of several meters. Such a transmission could be an interesting solution for haptic interfaces for neuroscience studies performing force feedback during fu ...
The aim of this project is the design and the optimization of the electrical motors used in the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system currently under development at JTEKT, an automotive part supplier company. Two motors are needed for the control ...
The performance of multiband-OFDM UWB systems is analyzed using the S-V indoor channel model. Based on the analysis, two methods are proposed to improve the reliable transmission range of UWB devices by exploiting the rich spectral and spatial diversity av ...
Enhanced global connectivity, networks’ capacity to carry data, and increases in transmission speed already affect the way architectural practices work. With computer-assisted drafting (CAD) equipment now used by the overwhelming majority of architectural ...
This paper presents a study and experimentation of a hybrid energy storage system prototype, based on Compressed Air, where the charging and discharging is done within maximum efficiency conditions of the volumetric machine. As the maximum efficiency condi ...
We experimentally measure and theoretically model the light transmission characteristics of subwavelength apertures. The characterization consists of translating a point source at varying vertical height and lateral displacement from the aperture and measu ...
In addition to the high-capacity storage facilities based on hydropower technologies, electrochemical solutions are today’s candidate for storage for renewable energy sources support. However, sustainability and limited life cycles of batteries are often i ...
