Differential chirped-pulse pair for sub-meter spatial resolution Brillouin distributed fiber sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang

A distributed fiber sensor based on a differential chirped-pulse pair Brillouin optical time domain analysis (DCPBOTDA) is proposed for sub-meter spatial resolution sensing. The technique is based on the subtraction of two measurements made with the same p ...

A model-based data-interpretation framework for improving wind predictions around buildings

Ian Smith, Didier Vernay

Although Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are often used to assess wind conditions around buildings, the accuracy of such simulations is often unknown. This paper proposes a data-interpretation framework that uses multiple simulations in comb ...

Mid-span connection of a deployable tensegrity footbridge

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (struts) in equilibrium. Deployment of two bridge halves is ...

Using inertial sensors for reconstructing 3D full-body movement in sports - possibilities and limitations on the example of alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

The present study investigates if inertial sensors could be used for reconstructing 3D full body movements in sports. On the example of alpine ski racing, it was demonstrated that inertial sensors allow computing meaningful parameters related to a skier’s ...

Measurement of e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-)psi(2S) via initial state radiation at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang

We report measurement of the cross section of e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-)psi(2S) between 4.0 and 5.5 GeV, based on an analysis of initial state radiation events in a 980 fb(-1) data sample recorded with the Belle detector. The properties of the Y(4360) and Y(46 ...

Solid-On-Liquid Technology for Suspended Microchannel Fabrication

Annalisa De Pastina, Antoine Nicolas Désiré Aupée

In this project a new fabrication strategy for suspended microchannel resonators (SMRs) is described. SMRs are biosensing devices with the liquid flowing inside of them, allowing real time measurements of fluidic samples, while devices can be kept in dry e ...

Detection of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in environmental waters of rural Bangladesh: a flow-cytometry-based field trial

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

Presence of Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 in the waters of the rural area of Matlab, Bangladesh, was investigated with quantitative measurements performed with a portable flow cytometer. The relevance of this work relates to the testing of a field ...

A comparison of different methods for fast single-cut near-to-far-field transformation [euraap corner]

Juan Ramon Mosig

Near-field-to-far-field transformation algorithms have been developed during the last decades of the last century. Spherical near-field measurements are nowadays the most accurate technique for characterizing one antenna. However, one of the drawbacks is t ...

Force and Work Measurements: The Beginnings

Jean-François Loude

The first practical, portable “dynamometer”, designed in 1798 by Regnier, was used to quantify the muscular strength of men and animals. It was promptly used by ethnologists to test the strength of the “savages”. A smaller improved model (Collin dynamomete ...

Reference-Free Automated Magnetic Sensor Calibration for Angle Estimation in Smart Knee Prostheses

Kamiar Aminian, Julien David Rechenmann, Arash Arami

In this work, we present a method for automated calibration of an implanted anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensor for measuring the internal-external rotation (IE) in a prosthetic knee without using any reference measurement. The measurement system con ...
