System identification using binary sensors

System identification is investigated for plants that are equipped with only binary-valued sensors. Optimal identification errors, time complexity, optimal input design, and impact of disturbances and unmodeled dynamics on identification accuracy and complexity are examined in both stochastic and deterministic information frameworks. It is revealed that binary sensors impose fundamental limitat...

Estimation of time delays with fewer sensors than sources

A number of papers have been dealing with the problem of estimating the di erential delay of an unknown signal impinging on two sensors The present contribution deals with the presence of more than one source which is a case that has never been dealt with before The solution resorts to slices of high order spectra and the full spectral band of the signals is utilized in order to recover the del...

Energy-efficient wireless sensors: fewer bits, Moore MEMS

Adoption of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology could enable improved efficiency across a variety of industries that include building management, agriculture, transportation, and health care. Most of the technical challenges of WSNs can be linked to the stringent energy constraints of each sensor node, where wireless communication and leakage energy are the dominant components of active an...

Introduction Wim Kouwenhoven

This book on ‘access and expansion: challenges for higher education improvement in developing countries’ is based on the experiences and reflections of experts from the North and the South in a variety of capacity development projects. Most of these projects have been awarded by the Netherlands Organisation for Cooperation in Higher Education (NUFFIC) to the Centre for International Cooperation...
