Homogenous power distribution along gyrotron collector walls

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Miguel Filipe Silva Füglister, Pierre-François Isoz

EC RF power sources will play a major role in the future operation of large scale tokamaks (ITER, DEMO). A 1MW/170GHz gyrotron is the standard RF power unit considered for ITER. Even though the efficiency of such devices has been significantly increased th ...

An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity

Volker Gass, Claude Nicollier, Tatiana Maillard

In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term missions. To ...

PerfIso: Performance Isolation for Commercial Latency-Sensitive Services

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Calin Iorgulescu

Large commercial latency-sensitive services, such as web search, run on dedicated clusters provisioned for peak load to ensure responsiveness and tolerate data center outages. As a result, the average load is far lower than the peak load used for provision ...

Distributed Multi-Unit Privacy Assured Bidding (PAB) for Smart Grid Demand Response Programs

Muhammed Fatih Balli

The stringent requirement of the demand-supply equilibrium for delivering electricity has traditionally been dealt with a supply-side perspective, assuming that the demand is not alterable. With the promises of the Smart Grid, demand- side management techn ...
