In this paper we present the characterization of a calibrated embedded system for quasi real-time lighting computation based on HDR sky monitoring. To quantify its accuracy in lighting computation, we positioned the device in front of a test module with un ...
Today, the majority of control applications in embedded systems, e.g., in the automotive domain, are implemented as software tasks on shared platforms. Ignoring implementation impacts during the design of embedded control systems results in complex timing ...
Many technical advances of modern society sprout from the creation of specially customized polymer materials exhibiting unique combinations of properties uncharted so far. Amid this plurality of highly versatile materials, the class of electroactive polyme ...
The invention provides ionic polymers (IP) consisting of anions and a polymeric backbone containing cations. The invention also provides the ionic polymers incorporated in membranes or attached to solid supports and use of the ionic polymers in processing ...
The recent ability to integrate materials with different optical and optoelectronic properties in prescribed architectures within flexible fibers is enabling novel opportunities for advanced optical probes, functional surfaces and smart textiles. In partic ...
Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...
In recent years, semiconductor nanowires have attracted considerable attention as a result of their unique properties and potential applications in many fields. In particular, they can be very attractive materials for certain optoelectronic and electronic ...
