investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

The design space of personal energy conservation assistants

There are many routes to reduce one's energy footprint, ranging from picking the right means of transportation to switching off the heating when leaving a room to choosing seasonal local food. Many of these options, however, cannot be selected in an automated fashion, but require a deliberate decision. Pervasive computer systems may support this process, acting as personal energy conservation a...

Understanding the Privacy Design Space for Personal Connected Objects

Privacy is a major obstacle preventing the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). As more connected objects become integrated in daily lives, ensuring that people feel comfortable with IoT’s impact on their privacy becomes increasingly important. To date the understanding of users’ perception regarding privacy risks in the connected object space is limited. In this paper we aim to shed lights ...
