WARio: efficient code generation for intermittent computing

Intermittently operating embedded computing platforms powered by energy harvesting require software frameworks to protect from errors caused by Write After Read (WAR) dependencies. A powerful method of code protection for systems with non-volatile main memory utilizes compiler analysis to insert a checkpoint inside each WAR violation in the...

Micro-Activity Recognition using Wearables for Human Augmentation

Wearable devices have paved way for several context-aware applications in the field of health-care and sports to improve the well-being of users and their performance for human augmentation. During rehabilitation patients need accurate feedback that can empower and improve the speed of recovery. On the other hand competitive athletes need a...

Control of suction distributions on Boundary layer suction systems for automotive wind tunnels

Wind tunnels are used to study airflows around objects like cars, airplanes and ice-skaters. This is done, simulating the real world, by blowing an airflow over a fixed body. In the real situation an object moves through the air, while in a wind tunnel it is the air that is moving. So a wind tunnel needs to generate an airflow. In this airflow,...
