Dynamic Linkers Are the Narrow Waist of Operating Systems

Adrien Ghosn, Charly Nicolas Lucien Castes

While software applications, programming languages, and hardware have changed, operating systems have not. Widely-used commodity operating systems are still modeled after the ones designed in the seventies. The accumulated burden of backward compatibility ...

Adding Indoor Capacity without Fiber Backhaul: An mmWave Bridge Prototype

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Today, a large portion of mobile data traffic is consumed behind the shielding walls of buildings or in the Faraday cage of trains. This renders cellular network coverage from outdoor cell sites difficult. Indoor small cells and distributed antennas along ...

Operando X-ray diffraction during laser 3D printing: from machine design to experiments and computer simulations

Samy Hocine

The importance of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has grown exponentially in the recent years thanks to its high flexibility to manufacture intricate parts. This process can be divided into many different sub-categories, depending on the ...

Generalized Norm-compatible Systems on Unitary Shimura Varieties

Mohamed Réda Boumasmoud

We define and study in terms of integral Iwahoriâ Hecke algebras a new class of geometric operators acting on the Bruhat-Tits building of connected reductive groups over p-adic fields. These operators, which we call U-operators, generalize the geometric n ...

Approximate Cloaking via Transformation Optics for Electromagnetic Waves

Xuan Loc Tran

Cloaking via transformation optics was introduced by Pendry, Schurig, and Smith for the Maxwell system and Leonhardt in the geometric optics setting. They used a singular change of variables which blows up a point into a cloaked region. The same transforma ...

JPEG Privacy and Security framework for social networking and GLAM services

Touradj Ebrahimi

Current image coding standards provide limited support for privacy and security features. An exception is the JPSEC standard, which defines security extensions in JPEG 2000 specifications (part 8). Notwithstanding this shortcoming, the JPEG committee is cu ...

3D-Printed Shepp-Logan Phantom as a Real-World Benchmark for MRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Jeffrey Adam Kasten, François Lazeyras

Purpose: As prescribed and reliable geometrical entities, phantoms have served as indispensable validation tools in a variety of MR-related topics. Though a number of phantoms have been conceived, certain applications may warrant highly customized geometri ...

What is the gamma gamma resonance at 750 GeV?

Riccardo Rattazzi, Francesco Riva, Roberto Franceschini, Michele Redi, Riccardo Torre

Run 2 LHC data show hints of a new resonance in the diphoton distribution at an invariant mass of 750 GeV. We analyse the data in terms of a new boson, extracting information on its properties and exploring theoretical interpretations. Scenarios covered in ...

ALLARM: Optimizing Sparse Directories for Thread-Local Data

Amitabha Roy

Large-scale cache-coherent systems often impose unnecessary overhead on data that is thread-private for the whole of its lifetime. These include resources devoted to tracking the coherence state of the data, as well as unnecessary coherence messages sent o ...

Design and Characterization of a Full-Duplex Multiantenna System for WiFi Networks

Vaneet Aggarwal

In this paper, we present an experiment-and simulation-based study to evaluate the use of full duplex (FD) as a potential mode in practical IEEE 802.11 networks. To enable the study, we designed a 20-MHz multiantenna orthogonal frequency-division-multiplex ...

JPEG backward compatible format for 3D content representation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart, Martin Rerabek

Different formats and compression algorithms have been proposed for 3D video content, but 3D images are still mostly represented as a stereo pair only. However, for enhanced 3D rendering capabilities, such as depth perception adjustment or display size ada ...
