Coherent terabit communications with microresonator Kerr frequency combs

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Tobias Herr, Jingshi Li

Optical frequency combs have the potential to revolutionize terabit communications(1). The generation of Kerr combs in nonlinear microresonators(2) is particularly promising(3), enabling line spacings of tens of gigahertz. However, such combs may exhibit s ...

Open access models of publications: a strategy for improving 3R information retrieval?

Sylvie Vullioud-Marcacci

Accessing 3R information for fundamental research is difficult for many reasons: the titles, abstracts, and author keywords of scientific articles do not contain the terms 3R, Reduce, Refine, Replace, alternatives or replacement. Mesh terms in Pubmed or th ...

Architecture without Content 4: Necessary Architecture

Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo

The Data Center is the most definitive and yet invisible typology of our contemporary world. It is the densest spot in our digital universe, a physically invisible space virtually visited by many. In a time when the collective spirit of the net itself is m ...

Trust beyond reputation: A computational trust model based on stereotypes

Anwitaman Datta, Xin Liu

Models of computational trust support users in taking decisions. They are commonly used to guide users' judgements in online auction sites; or to determine quality of contributions in Web 2.0 sites. However, most existing systems require historical informa ...

Programmable parylene-C bonding layer fluorescence for storing information on microfluidic chips

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Ata Tuna Ciftlik

We demonstrate data storage on glass/silicon microfluidic devices fabricated using parylene-C as a bonding layer. In particular, we report intermediate parylene-C bonding layer fluorescence (iPBLF) and its use as an on-chip medium for data storage by dynam ...

Correlation-Aware Reconstruction of Network Coded Sources

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Eirina Bourtsoulatze

In this paper, we consider the problem of decoding network coded correlated data when the decoder does not receive sufficient information for exact decoding. We propose an iterative decoding algorithm based on belief propagation that efficiently exploits t ...

Event-Driven Video Coding for Outdoor Wireless Monitoring Cameras

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Zichong Chen

Reducing communication cost is crucial for outdoor wireless monitoring cameras which are constrained by limited energy budgets. From event detection point of view, traditional video coding schemes such as H.264 are inefficient as they ignore the "meaning" ...

The digital design paradox

Russell Alexander Loveridge

The fundamental methodology of design is based on the ability to imagine "what could be" - a subjective position based on the "suspension of disbeleif". The basic premise of digital tools, parametric design, and at the core logic, is fundamentally objectiv ...

Flexible and Robust Calibration of the Yule-Nielsen Model for CMYK Prints

Thomas Bugnon

Spectral reflection prediction models, although effective, are impractical for certain industrial applications such as self-calibrating devices and online monitoring because of the requirements imposed by their calibration. The idea emerged to make the cal ...

Polymeric foil optical waveguide with inkjet printed gas sensitive film for colorimetric sensing

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Jérôme Courbat

The design of low-cost and low-power optical transducers on plastic foil for colorimetric gas sensors is proposed. The transducer was fabricated from PET or PEN foil on which polymeric micro-mirrors and colorimetric film were patterned using additive techn ...
