WAVO consists of a PoSC micro-computer, an accelerometer and a 16x16 matrix LED and express moving waves with LED. These waves are calculated by Wave Equation in real-time. Therefore, people can feel beautiful moving of lights which this equation makes. Yet, people can enjoy wave interaction as WAVO has an accelerometer. Interacting with people, this art work notices them fascinating aspects of...

Automatic detection of human motion is important for security and surveillance applications. Compared to other sensors, radar sensors present advantages for human motion detection and identification because of their all-weather and day-and-night capabilities, as well as the fact that they detect targets at a long range. This is particularly advantageous in the case of remote and highly cluttere...

1 This work has been performed in the framework of the IST project IST-2001-35125 OverDRiVE (Spectrum Efficient Uniand Multicast Over Dynamic Radio Networks in Vehicular Environments), which is partly funded by the European Union. The OverDRiVE consortium consists of Ericsson (co-ordinator), DaimlerChrysler, France Telecom, Motorola and Radiotelevisione Italiana as well as Rheinisch-Westfälisch...

The objective of this presentation is the development of a generalized steady-state Green’s function solution to study the temperature field in moving bodies. This type of solution permits the inclusion of different nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, volumetric heat sources, and possible position-dependent thermophysical properties. Although the mathematical formulation is for moving solids, i...

In this paper, a multi-scale analysis scheme for solidification based on two-scale computational homogenization is discussed. Solidification problems involve evolution of surfaces coupled with flux jump boundary conditions across interfaces. We provide consistent macro-micro transition and averaging rules based on Hill’s macrohomogeneity condition. The overall macro-scale behavior is analyzed w...

Problems involving reaction and species diffusion involve field and flux jumps at a moving reaction front. In multi-scale problems such as carbon fiber composite oxidation, these effects need to be tracked at the microscopic scale of individual carbon fibers. A multi-scale model is derived in this paper for predicting species distribution in such problems using a fully coupled multi-scale homog...

This paper proposes a wheel-assembly automation system, which assembles a wheel into a hub of a vehicle hung to a moving hanger in a car manufacturing line. A macro-micro manipulator control strategy is introduced to increase the system bandwidth and tracking accuracy to ensure insertion tolerance. A camera is equipped at the newly designed wheel gripper, which is attached at the center of the ...
