Designing for Intimate Wellbeing: Aidee, a Qualitative Approach To Urine Home Monitoring

Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Emily Clare Groves, Margherita Motta

Despite the widespread use of self-tracking technologies for promoting personal wellbeing, there is limited research on the monitoring of intimate data, particularly urine. To shed light on the design possibilities within this unexplored domain we designed ...

Use of compact Laser Doppler Velocimetry in reduced scale model testing of hydraulic machines

François Avellan, Vincent Berruex, Andres Müller, Loïc Andolfatto, Masashi Sakamoto

Laser based flow survey methods such as Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) or Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) have long been used for studying the flow in hydraulic machines. Even if the results have crucially improved our understanding of potentially destab ...

Guidelines on Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Steel and Concrete Moment Frames

Dimitrios Lignos

Nonlinear dynamic (response history) analysis is being used increasingly in design practice for the performance-based seismic design of new buildings. In contrast to nonlinear static analysis, dynamic analysis requires more explicit modeling of cyclic resp ...

Approaches to analyze structural issues of the European DEMO Toroidal Field Coil System at an early design stage

Kamil Sedlák

Because of its ambitious goals, the DEMO project faces many technical challenges. The mechanical performance of the superconducting toroidal field coil (TFC) system is mostly determined by the high electromagnetic forces. A structural evaluation of the TFC ...

Data fusion for a hand prosthesis tactile feedback system

Christian Enz, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz, Ozan Unsal

Current myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, thus limiting their functionalities and user acceptance. We propose a non-invasive tactile sensory feedback system, consisting miniaturized sensors, wireless communication m ...

Online Modulation of the Level of Assistance in Shared Control Systems

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson

In this paper we propose a method to modulate the level of assistance provided by a shared controller, not only given the environmental context, but also according to the context of the user’s current behaviour. We show that the enhanced situational contex ...
