Combining thermal insulation and mobile communication in buildings: influence of laser-treated glazing on microwave propagation

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Héloïse Ludivine Delaporte

With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...

Visual feature integration: how long can it last?

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang

Spatiotemporal features are integrated along motion trajectories. For example, when a central line is followed by pairs of flanking lines, two motion streams diverging from the center are perceived. The central line is rendered invisible by the subsequent ...

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the lighting levels, but they also affect ...

Wide band-pass FSS with reduced periodicity for energy efficient windows at higher frequencies

Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury

A simulation model and an experimental characterization of energy saving glazing transparent to mobile communication frequency up to 40 GHz is presented. A previous study showed that laser structured energy efficient windows with a frequency selective surf ...

Designing Gabor windows using convex optimization

Nathanaël Perraudin

Redundant Gabor frames admit an infinite number of dual frames, yet only the canonical dual Gabor system, constructed from the minimal l(2)-norm dual window, is widely used. This window function however, might lack desirable properties, e. g. good time-fre ...

Minimal Window Duration for Accurate HRV Recording in Athletes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani

Heart rate variability (HRV) is non-invasive and commonly used for monitoring responses to training loads, fitness, or overreaching in athletes. Yet, the recording duration for aseries of RR-intervals varies from 1 to 15 min in the literature. The aim of t ...

Energy saving glazing with a wide band-pass FSS allowing mobile communication: up-scaling and characterisation

Andreas Schueler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Luc Burnier

A real case study and characterisation of modern energy efficient windows allowing mobile communication is presented. An earlier study had shown that laser scribing of energy saving coatings allows highly reducing the microwave attenuation (from 30 to 1-3d ...

Improving systems software security through program analysis and instrumentation

Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Security and reliability bugs are prevalent in systems software. Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management and type safety to programmers. This invites bugs that cause cra ...

An optimally concentrated Gabor transform for localized time-frequency components

Benjamin Ricaud

Gabor analysis is one of the most common instances of time-frequency signal analysis. Choosing a suitable window for the Gabor transform of a signal is often a challenge for practical applications, in particular in audio signal processing. Many time-freque ...
