Stair climbing detection during daily physical activity using a miniature gyroscope

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi, Brian Coley

A new method of monitoring physical activity that is able to detect walking upstairs using a miniature gyroscope attached to the shank is presented. Wavelet transformation, in conjunction with a simple kinematics model, was used to detect toe-off, heel-str ...

Radio Frequency Identification: Adversary Model and Attacks on Existing Protocols

Gildas Avoine

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems aim to identify objects in open environments with neither physical nor visual contact. They consist of transponders inserted into objects, of readers, and usually of a database which contains information about ...

Heterobimetallic complexes as catalyst precursors for the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols

Kay Severin, Sébastien Gauthier

A heterobimetallic Ru(II)-Rh(I) complex has been identified as a potent catalyst precursor for the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols. With 0.1-0.5 mol% of this complex and K2CO3 as the co-catalyst, it is possible to oxidize secondary and primary alcohol ...

Symbolic Music Representation in MPEG for new Multimedia Applications

Giorgio Zoia

With the spread of computer technology into the artistic fields, new application scenarios for computer-based applications of symbolic music representation (SMR) have been identified. The integration of SMR in a versatile multimedia framework such as MPEG ...

Microcircuits in action--from CPGs to neocortex

Henry Markram, Gilad Silberberg

To understand the interface between global brain function and molecular neuroscience--that is, the microcircuit level--a major challenge. Such understanding is prerequisite if we are to account for neural function in cellular terms. Very few vertebrate mic ...

Cell division: SIN, cytokinesis and ethanol dependency

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

A novel mutant screen in fission yeast has identified the 'ethanol dependent' protein etd1p as a potential link between the septation initiation network (SIN), which initiates cytokinesis, and the actomyosin contractile ring that drives separation of the t ...

VR haptic interfaces for teleoperation: an evaluation study

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

We present the results of an evaluation study in the framework of user interfaces for teleoperation of vehicles. We developed a virtual cockpit with haptic feedback provided by a Haptic Workstation™. Four alternative teleoperation interfaces were implement ...

What Can Be Implemented Anonymously?

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for reas ...

SAMARIS D13 - Report on preliminary studies for the use of HPFRCC for the rehabilitation of road infrastructure components

Emmanuel Denarié, Katrin Habel

The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...

Charge density, solvent polarity and counterion nature effects on the solution properties of some polycations

Jutta Christine Wandrey

The electrolytic cond. and soln. viscosity of some strong polycations, which possess the ammonium quaternary centers either attached to an acrylic macromol. chain (polycation PDMAEMQ type), or in the backbone (polycation PCA type), have been measured to id ...
