The undeniable convenience of face-recognition (FR) based biometrics has made it an attractive tool for access control in various applications, from immigration-control to remote banking. Widespread adopti
on of face biometrics, however, depends on the how ...
The potential for solar energy production on existing buildings in Switzerland is estimated to be 40% of annual Swiss electricity consumption. At present, solar energy accounts for 3% of all electricity produced. In order to establish motivators for Swiss ...

Our ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects involves our dexterous hands, our sense of touch, and feedback from our eyes and muscles that allows us to maintain a controlled grip. Billard and Kragic review the progress made in robotics to emulate thes ...
Presentation attack detection (PAD, also known as anti-spoofing) systems, regardless of the technique, biometric mode or degree of independence of external equipment, are most commonly treated as binary classification systems. The two classes that they dif ...
Floodplains in hydropower-controlled rivers, where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study we compare two residual flow systems. The first r ...
Wireless sensors and actuators connected by the Internet-of-Things (IoT) are central to the design of advanced cyber-physical systems (CPSs). In such complex, heterogeneous systems, communication links must meet stringent requirements on throughput, latenc ...
Expectations for high performance green buildings have been evolving over the last four decades. Green certification systems define, recognize, and demonstrate leadership in addressing building problems related to people and the environment. These systems ...
This paper reports on impurity behavior in a set of hybrid discharges with Ne seeding-one of the techniques considered to reduce the power load on reactor walls. A series of experiments carried out with light gas injection on JET with the ITER-Like-Wall (I ...
We will present and discuss some of the great research challenges and opportunities related to 21st century energy efficient computing and sensing devices and systems, in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution. In the future, major innovati ...
Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) fabricated in standard CMOS processes enable cost-effective volume production of sensors capable of time-stamping individual photons with high accuracy. This capability makes the sensors ideally suited for application ...
