Internet of Things for Smart Spaces
Advances in technology and data analysis provide rich opportunities for developing intelligent environments assisting their inhabitants, so-called smart environments or smart spaces. […]
Asymmetric-waveguide, short cavity designs with a bulk active layer for high pulsed power eye-safe spectral range laser diodes
It is shown, by calculations calibrated against the authors’ recent experimental data, that an eye-safe wavelength range InGaAsP/InP high pulsed power laser […]
Printed GNSS and Bluetooth Antennas Embedded on Flexible Low Loss Substrates for Wearable Applications
This paper presents Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) F-type and Bluetooth (BT) L-shaped antennas printed on flexible low loss substrate materials for […]
Interactive Visible Light Communications (iVLC)
The concept of interactive visible light communications (iVLC) is introduced and discussed in this paper. iVLC exploits a matrix of solid-state light […]
Iterative Bayesian-based Localization Mechanism for Industry Verticals
We propose and evaluate an iterative localization mechanism employing Bayesian inference to estimate the position of a target using received signal strength […]
How subtle can it get?
Flying drones have become common objects in our daily lives, serving a multitude of purposes. Many of these purposes involve outdoor scenarios […]
Band bending and valence band quantization at line defects in MoS2
The variation of the electronic structure normal to 1D defects in quasi-freestanding MoS₂, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, is investigated through high […]
A vibrational energy harvester based on soft-nonlinearity for truly random excitation
In this paper, we present a nonlinear energy harvester that is based on a “soft-mode” nonlinearity and is able to work in […]
An integrated 9×9 SPAD array with a 10-channel TDC and a CMOS laser diode driver for a wearable time-domain diffuse optics optode
A 9×9 Single-Photon Avalanche Photodiode (SPAD) array with a 10-channel time-to-digital converter and an integrated laser diode driver fabricated in 0.35 μm […]
Rapid fault diagnosis of photovoltaic panels under outdoor environmental conditions
This paper investigates opportunities to rapidly detect defects in photovoltaic (PV) panels. It is worth noting that a defect in a single […]
