Measuring shape rectangularity

Dragisa Zunic

A new method for measuring shape rectangularity is introduced. The new shape measure is invariant with respect to similarity transformations, ranges over the interval (0,1] and picks the value 1 if and only if the measured shape is a rectangle. The measure ...

Order Types of Convex Bodies

We prove a Hadwiger transversal-type result, characterizing convex position on a family of non-crossing convex bodies in the plane. This theorem suggests a definition for the order type of a family of convex bodies, generalizing the usual definition of ord ...

Multiplexing pH and Temperature in a Molecular Biosensor

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Andrea Cavallini, Michele Daniel Torre, Daniela De Venuto

Robust and reliable measurements in electrochemical biosensing of molecules are crucial for personalized medicine. Electrochemical sensors based on cytochrome P450 can detect the large majority of drugs commonly used in pharmacological treatments. The same ...

An algorithm for the recovery of disrupted airline schedules

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Niklaus Eggenberg

We consider the recovery of an airline schedule after an unpredicted event, commonly called disruption, that makes the planned schedule unfeasible. In particular we consider the aircraft recovery problem for a heterogeneous fleet of aircrafts, made of regu ...

Speckle interferometry: A review of the principal methods in use for experimental mechanics applications

With its nearly 40 years of existence, speckle interferometry (SI) has become a complete technique, widely used in many branches of experimental mechanics. It is thus a challenging task to try to summarise in a couple of pages its principal characteristics ...

Semiconductor photodiode and method of making

Radivoje Popovic, Zhen Xiao

A semiconductor photodiode (18) is formed as a pn-junction between a region (2) of a first conductivity type and a region (6) of a second conductivity type. The region (6) of the second conductivity type is approximately hemispherical. A mini guard ring (8 ...

Computation of Observability Regions for Piecewise Affine Systems: A Projection-Based Algorithm

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper we consider the problem of computing sets of observable states for discrete-time, piecewise affine systems. When the maximal set of observable states is full-dimensional, we provide an algorithm for reconstructing it up to a zero measure set. ...

Thurston's weak metric on the Teichmüller space of the torus

Marc Troyanov

We define and study a natural weak metric on the Teichmüller space of the torus. A similar metric has been defined by W. Thurston on the Teichmüller space of higher genus surfaces and our definition is motivated by Thurston's definition. However, we shall ...

Minimizing Generalized Buchi Automata

Sudeep Juvekar

We consider the problem of minimization of generalized Buchi automata. We show how to extend fair simulation and delayed simulation to the case where the Buchi automaton has multiple acceptance conditions. For fair simulation, we show how to efficiently co ...
