Recent progresses in the technology of the Ni-Zn batteries have a direct influence on the improvement of the performance of hybrid electric vehicles. This paper evaluates the progresses of these batteries in particular for application on hybrid light vehic ...
In this paper the metric and topological paradigms are integrated in a hybrid system for both localization and map building. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing a compact environment model, which does not require global metric con ...
This paper presents a methodology for optimisation of vehicle drivetrain configuration and their design with respect to multiple parameters. Some preliminary results from such optimisations are presented. Multi-objective optimisation algorithms have been d ...
We present a new hybrid technology for the realization of three-dimensional millimetre-size inductors for low-power (0.1–1 W) applications. Our devices consist of electroplated planar Cu coils, realized within a high-resolution (5 µm) polyimide flex-foil p ...
The suprathermal electron cyclotron radiation is used to investigate fundamental phenomena governing electron tail formation during lower hybrid current drive (LHCD). To this end, an approximate analytical solution of the 2-D time-dependent Fokker-Planck e ...
We propose a state smoothing algorithm for hybrid systems based on Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE) by exploiting the equivalence between hybrid systems modeled in the Mixed Logic Dynamical form and piecewise affine systems. We provide sufficient conditions ...
In this paper a new localization approach combining the metric and topological paradigm is presented. The main idea is to connect local metric maps by means of a global topological map. This allows a compact environment model which does not require global ...
We have fabricated two-dimensional inductive devices by integrating micropatterned magnetic foils of high permeability (µr=100000) with winding patterns realised in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and flex-foil technology. We realise relatively high inductan ...
Many applications, such as the dissemination of stock quote events, require reliable and totally ordered delivery of broadcast messages to a large number of processes. Recently, gossip-based broadcast algorithms have been praised as an interesting alternat ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To further complicate m ...
