Characterization of the degradation process of lithium-ion batteries when discharged at different current rates
(05/08/2018)
The use of energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, has become popular in many different domains and applications. Hence, it is relatively easy to find literature associated with problems of battery state-of-charge ...
3D motion estimation based on pitch and azimuth from respective camera and laser rangefinder sensing
(11/03/2013)
This paper proposes a new method to estimate the 3D motion of a vehicle based on car-like structured motion model using an omnidirectional camera and a laser rangefinder. In recent years, motion estimation using vision ...
From implicit to touching interaction: RFID and NFC approaches
(05/25/2008)
Intelligent environments need interactions capable of detecting users and providing them with goodquality contextual information. In this sense we adapt technologies identifying and locating people adjusting their requirements. ...
Design and tolerance analysis of a router with an amplified resonator and Bragg gratings
(04/20/2000)
A novel ring resonator configuration with Bragg gratings is presented. The stability of this configuration is studied by a z-transform technique. A router design with a FWHM of 17 MHz, a -40-dB rejection ratio, and a 15-dB ...
Optical reconfigurable demultiplexer based on Bragg grating assisted ring resonators
(08/11/2014)
A polarization independent reconfigurable optical demultiplexer with low crosstalk between adjacent channels and high number of potential allocated channels is designed on silicon on insulator technology. On to off state ...
Crosswalk detection based on laser scanning from moving vehicle
(07/22/2015)
The safety plays the most important role for both pedestrian and driver in autonomous, semi-autonomous or non-autonomous vehicle. To improve pedestrian safety, this paper presents a new type of laser feature extraction ...
Climate change and environmental planning: Working to build community resilience and adaptive capacity in Washington State, USA
(07/01/2009)
This work focuses on the efforts being made by King County, Washington to respond to the challenges of global climate change, concentrating on both mitigation and adaptation. King County is a leader in the United States ...
Real-time flood detection for video surveillance
(11/09/2015)
This paper introduces the real-time flash flood detection method for stationary surveillance cameras. It can be applied for rural and urban areas and capable of working during day time. The background subtraction was used ...
Outdoor stairway segmentation using vertical vanishing point and directional filter
(10/13/2010)
In this paper we propose to detect the localization and recognition of outdoor stairway. This problem is the most fundamental step in solving the problem of autonomous stair climbing navigation. An autonomous system must ...
Modeling Competitive Cation Exchange of Aromatic Amines in Water-Saturated Soils
(06/01/2001)
Competitive association to several components of soil through ion exchange processes influences the fate of organic cations in the environment. To examine these processes, the distributions of aniline and 1-aminonaphthalene ...
