A Multiscale Surface Water Temperature Data Acquisition Platform: Tests on Lake Geneva, Switzerland

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

An improved understanding of surface transport processes is necessary to predict sediment, pollutant and phytoplankton patterns in large lakes. Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) which may spatially and temporarily vary over the lake surface reflects me ...

Foil-Level Inkjet-Printed pyroMEMS Balloon Actuators: Fabrication, Modeling, and Validation

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez, David de Koninck

A cleanroom-free fabrication process adapted to microfluidic devices is presented for pyrotechnical microelectromechanical systems balloon actuators. The actuators are intended for on-chip pumping and fluid ejection to replace tabletop pumping solutions in ...

Flow during the evening transition over steep Alpine slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ...

Thermal Circulation Patterns and Turbulent Fluxes along Steep Mountain Slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau, Fabian Bärenbold

In hydrology, it is crucial to understand the atmospheric flow dynamics in mountainous terrain to predict turbulent exchanges of heat and moisture accurately at the regional scale. Under clear skies and weak synoptic conditions, these land–atmosphere inter ...

Large Deformation Balloon Micro-Actuator Based on Pyrotechnics on Chip

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset

This communication presents the modeling and the first demonstration of very large deformation balloon actuators based on pyrotechnics on chip. The gas and pressure generated by the combustion of a solid propellant stored in a micromachined cavity lead to ...

Parameterizing Deformable Surfaces for Monocular 3--D Tracking

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Slobodan Ilic

e propose a deformable surface parameterization that is generic and lets us automatically build registered shape databases. This allows us to directly derive low-dimensional shape models using a simple dimensionality reduction technique. This addresses one ...
