BACKGROUND The goal of this research is to use smart home technology to assist people who are recovering from injuries or coping with disabilities to live independently. OBJECTIVE We introduce an algorithm to model and forecast wake and sleep behaviors that are exhibited by the participant. Furthermore, we propose that sleep behavior is impacted by and can be modeled from wake behavior, and v...

This paper presents a study on the effect of wake modeling on the prediction of the off-axis response to pilot inputs for a hingeless and an articulated rotor helicopter, including a comparison with flight test data. The free wake model can capture geometry changes due to maneuvering flight. The prediction of the response to pilot inputs improves only slightly; in particular, the off-axis respo...

The actuator line technique was introduced as a numerical tool to be employed in combination with large eddy simulations to enable the study of wakes and wake interaction in wind farms. The technique is today largely used for studying basic features of wakes as well as for making performance predictions of wind farms. In this paper, we give a short introduction to the wake problem and the actua...

The instability of supersonic mixing layers, with velocity profiles possessing a wake component, is investigated using linear, inviscid, spatial theory. The mean-velocity profile is represented by a hyperbolic-tangent profile plus a wake component. Such profiles are encountered in the initial region of experimental supersonic shear-layer lIows, as well as in envisaged hypersonic propulsion syst...

Passively mode-locked lasers with semiconductor saturable absorption mirrors are attractive comb sources due to their simplicity, excellent self-starting properties, and their environmental robustness. These lasers, however, can have an increased noise level and wake mode instabilities. Here, we investigate the wake mode dynamics in detail using a combination of evolutionary and dynamical metho...
