In brief

Abstract

PAGE 1381 Researchers at Thapar University in India present research on human augmented map generation. Their work introduces a new class of augmented maps which can provide users with detailed knowledge about any area. Primarily, it could include traffic density on particular regions at definite times, days and weather conditions. This can be later enhanced to include groups of people interacting, their behaviour and much more. PAGE 1387 A group from the Institute of Microwave Engineering and Photonics, Technische Univerität in Germany present power dividers that can be used for any kind of millimetre-wave or terahertz system, such as phased array antenna or Singe-Pole Double-Throws. The applications will be in future wireless data links and in the field of mmW image sensing systems. This work explores the possibility of building a system which can reflect the role of a human in observation and inferential capabilities PAGE 1391 A collaboration between Egypt and Japan have proposed an algorithm for use in gaming. The algorithm achieved excellent recognition rate in real time operation, employing a fast and simple algorithm. These factors make the algorithm suitable for any interactive system such as a street fighting game. Conventional power divider technology cannot be adapted to the dielectric waveguide topology PAGE 1379 A group of researchers from China propose a method for designing a high performance filtering power divider (FPD) that is effective and novel. The work supports a new way of designing a wideband FPD which can not only provide power division function with good isolation, but also maintain a wide upper stopband. Classification decision is based on the correlation value PAGE 1395 A new type of flexible and thin screen-printed mechanical switch based on an electrode structure on stretchable PU-foam film, combined with a piezoelectric actuator, is proposed by the University of Oulu, Finland. Such a switch could be used in various e-textile applications or cosmetic electronics such as movement of joints or limbs in humans and animals. The FPD has the properties of compact size, high selectivity and good in-band isolation The electrode structure/switch can be actuated in multiple ways, e.g. by vibration or stretching
