Sizing of a Supercapacitive Tank: Finite Elements Thermal Modelling

The sizing process of a supercapacitive tank is today a well-known procedure. It enables the identification of the number of cells needed to match energy requirements. In some cases, this number must be increased, in order to match the power needs of the a ...

Two challenges in embedded systems design: predictability and robustness

I discuss two main challenges in embedded systems design: the challenge to build predictable systems, and that to build robust systems. I suggest how predictability can be formalized as a form of determinism, and robustness as a form of continuity. ...

Traceable Privacy of Recent Provably-Secure RFID Protocols

Khaled Ouafi

One of the main challenges in RFIDs is the design of privacy-preserving authentication protocols. Indeed, such protocols should not only allow legitimate readers to authenticate tags but also protect these latter from privacy-violating attacks, ensuring th ...

Etching of sub-micrometer structures through Stencil

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andreea Veronica Savu, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Katrin Sidler Arnet, Kristopher Pataky

Resistless processes to realize the pattern transfer of your designs into the substrate present some advantages, as the reduction in fabrication steps. Stencil Lithography (SL) is one of the most used resistless processes and, up to now, it has mainly been ...

Design and acceptability assessment of a new reversible orthosis

Jamie Paik

We present a new device aimed at being used for upper limb rehabilitation. Our main focus was to design a robot capable of working in both the passive mode (i.e. the robot shall be strong enough to generate human-like movements while guiding the weak arm o ...

Working with extreme urban density: Hong Kong. A prototype of mixed-use building in Hong Kong

Joana Varela, Wing-Chung Cheung

Urban sprawl, a solution to house fast-growing metropolitan populations, dilutes the substance of cities and generates extensive uniformly built fabrics lacking structural poles of attraction. Hong Kong is one of the seldom exceptions of this general tende ...

Fatigue of bridge joints using welded tubes or cast steel node solutions

Alain Nussbaumer, Senta Haldimann, Ann Schumacher

In the design of recently constructed steel-concrete composite bridges using hollow section trusses for the main load carrying structure, the fatigue verification of the tubular truss joints has been a main issue. Recent research on the fatigue behaviour o ...

Reliability Support for On-chip Memories Using Networks-on-Chips

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Federico Angiolini

As the geometries of the transistors reach the physical limits of operation, one of the main design challenges of Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) will be to provide dynamic (run-time) support against permanent and intermittent faults that can occur in the system. ...

Dynamical Modelling and Position Control of Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Positioning Stage

Jean-Marc Breguet, Tomas Cimprich

The paper describes development of a feedback position controller for a new type of monolithic "hybrid" ultrasonic motor. The goal of the controller design was to demonstrate the main advantage of this piezoelectric motor – high speed and high accuracy at ...

Coordinated emergency control of load shedding and FACTS devices

Alexandre Oudalov, Pavel Etingov

This paper describes the development of a control system and control strategies capable of governing multiple flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices in coordination with load shedding. The main purpose of the presented coordinated control system i ...
