A Comparison of Residual-based Methods on Fault Detection

Olga Fink, Gaëtan Michel Frusque

An important initial step in fault detection for complex industrial systems is gaining an understanding of their health condition. Subsequently, continuous monitoring of this health condition becomes crucial to observe its evolution, track changes over tim ...

A Delay and Power Efficient Voltage Level Shifter with Low Leakage Power

Alexandre Schmid, Mehdi Saberi

This paper presents a new power-efficient and high-speed voltage level shifter. In the proposed structure, the existing contentions at the internal nodes are reduced using auxiliary transistors and feedback networks, leading to a significant reduction in t ...

Simulating time-varying strong lenses

Georgios Vernardos

We present a self-consistent and versatile forward modelling software package that can produce time series and pixel-level simulations of time-varying strongly lensed systems. The time dimension, which needs to take into account different physical mechanis ...

Gravitational causality and the self-stress of photons

Brando Bellazzini

We study causality in gravitational systems beyond the classical limit. Using on-shell methods, we consider the 1-loop corrections from charged particles to the photon energy-momentum tensor - the self-stress - that controls the quantum interaction between ...

Time-delay estimation in unresolved lensed quasars

Georgios Vernardos

Time-delay cosmography can be used to infer the Hubble parameter H-0 by measuring the relative time delays between multiple images of gravitationally lensed quasars. A few of such systems have already been used to measure H-0: Their time delays were determ ...

The power of adaptivity in source identification with time queries on the path

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor

We study the problem of identifying the source of a stochastic diffusion process spreading on a graph based on the arrival times of the diffusion at a few queried nodes. In a graph

TOCOSMO VIII. A key test of systematics in the hierarchical method of time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of H-0. A Bayesian hierarchical framework has been propo ...

A Correlation-Based Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique to Locate Indoor Transient Radiation Sources

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Qi Li

To overcome the multipath interference in locating transient electromagnetic (EM) radiation sources in an indoor environment, we propose a criterion that calculates the correlation between back-propagated signals from observation points, to be used in EM t ...

Sensitivity to temporal parameters of intraneural tactile sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna

Background Recent studies have shown that neural stimulation can be used to provide artificial sensory feedback to amputees eliciting sensations referred on the amputated hand. The temporal properties of the neural stimulation modulate aspects of evoked se ...

Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and direct way for measuring the Hubble constant H0, which is necessary to addres ...

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Olga Tihhonova

It has recently been proposed that gravitationally lensed type-Ia supernovae can provide microlensing-free time-delay measurements provided that the measurement is taken during the achromatic expansion phase of the explosion and that color light curves are ...

Estimation of regional trip length distributions for the calibration of the aggregated network traffic models

Nikolaos Geroliminis

The calibration of trip lengths is an important challenge for multi-regional MFD-based applications, as it can influence the dynamics of regional densities (and speeds). Existing research has not paid significant attention in the topic, giving opportunitie ...
