Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Using the Wiimote as a sensor in water research

Steven Vincent Weijs

The $40 “Wiimote” (an input device belonging with the Nintendo® Wii™ game system) can be used by hydrologists as a sensor. The device contains three accelerometers and an infrared camera with built-in source tracking. It communicates by Bluetooth®. Because ...

Physical Design Issues in 3-D Integrated Technologies

Vasileios Pavlidis

Design techniques for three-dimensional (3-D) ICs considerably lag the significant strides achieved in 3-D manufacturing technologies. Advanced design methodologies for 2-D circuits are not sufficient to manage the added complexity caused by the third dime ...

Mental vision

Achille Peternier

Despite the wide amount of computer graphics frameworks and solutions available for virtual reality, it is still difficult to find a perfect one fitting at the same time the many constraints of research and educational contexts. Advanced functionalities an ...

Oscillator Based on Suspended Gate MOS Transistors

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Marco Mazza, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Alexandru Rusu

The paper deals with the oscillator applications based on vibrating mode of the suspended gate SG-MOSFET transistor. In order to simulate the electrical behavior of the transistor a small-signal equivalent circuit of the gate is proposed and validated. An ...

An Experimental Platform for an Indoor Location and Tracking System

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Frédéric Chastellain

In this paper, an experimental platform for indoor location and tracking using ultra wideband (UWB) impulse radio signals is presented and its performance measured. The platform has been developed entirely using standard electronic components that are comm ...

Reverse-Engineering Drivers for Safety and Portability

George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov

Device drivers today lack two important properties: guaranteed safety and cross-platform portability. We present an approach to incrementally achieving these properties in drivers, without requiring any changes in the drivers or operating system kernels. W ...

Microcamera Embedded in a Wristwatch

Pierre-André Farine, Steve Tanner, Michael Ansorge, Patrick Stadelmann

The presentation reports upon the conception and realization of a miniature very low-power microcamera system that has been embedded in a wristwatch so as to enable the spontaneous capture of photographs in everyday life based on timekeeping devices the us ...

Retina Simulation using Cellular Automata and GPU Programming

Stéphane Gobron

This article shows how the architecturalmod- elization of biological retina allows real-time performances on cheap and widespread computing systems. Firstly we describe the biological retina in terms of its pipeline ar- chitecture detailing its layer behav ...

Influence of shot noise on phase measurement accuracy in digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Florian Charrière

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) is a single shot interferometric technique, which provides quantitative phase images with subwavelength axial accuracy. A short hologram acquisition time (down to microseconds), allows DHM to offer a reduced sensitivity ...

Rendering massive real-time crowds

Pablo Stanislaw De Heras Ciechomski

This thesis presents how to visualize a large crowd of virtual human characters in real time on a standard issue personal computer. The virtual humans are distributed into rendering fidelities such that the humans closer to the viewer are detailed and expr ...
