8B/10B is an encoding technique largely used in different communication protocols, with several advantages such as zero DC bias. In the last years transmission rates have grown rapidly, thus the need of encoders with better performance in terms of...
In the last few years, data rate requirement on onboard satellite communication systems significantly grown. The need of high speed networks led to the birth of the SpaceFibre protocol, which is able to run at several Gigabit per second and operates...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the Temperature-Emissivity Separation (TES) task in LWIR hyperspectral imagery. The joint retrieval of both physical quantities from the measured radiance represents an ill-posed problem. Moreover, the atmosphere...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of deep learning approaches for the development of personalized assistive technology solutions for users with dysarthria, a speech disorder that leads to low intelligibility of users’ speaking. It prevents...
José Gonzàlez-Rivera, Rossella Iglio, Giuseppe Barillaro, Celia Duce and Maria Rosaria Tinè Polymers 2018 , 10 (6), 616; https://doi.org/10.3390/polym10060616 Abstract Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers are extensively used in a wide range of research...
Microfluidic 3D cell culture is a promising technology for the screening of drug toxicity profiles. In this study, a bioartificial liver consisting of a surfaceengineered microfluidic silicon chip with microtrenches mimicking hepatic sinusoids is shown...
A socially intelligent robot must be capable to extract meaningful information in real time from the social environment and react accordingly with coherent human-like behavior. Moreover, it should be able to internalize this information, to reason on it...
Humans have an innate tendency to anthropomorphize surrounding entities and have always been fascinated by the creation of machines endowed with human-inspired capabilities and traits. In the last few decades, this has become a reality with enormous...
In this work, we present an unobtrusive and non-invasive perception framework based on the synergy between two main acquisition systems: the Touch-Me Pad, consisting of two electronic patches for physiological signal extraction and processing; and the...

ESSCIRC 2017 - 43rd IEEE European Solid State Circuits Conference - 10.1109/ESSCIRC.2017.8094513. -- A compact differential voltage reference cell, which combines an original switched capacitor integrator with a digitally programmable bandgap core, is...
ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces DOI 10.1021/acsami.8b02322 Low-cost piezoresistive strain/pressure sensors with large working range, at the same time able to reliably detect ultralow strain (≤0.1%) and pressure (≤1 Pa), are one of the challenges...
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles require highly accurate autonomous navigation to achieve long-term tasks while collecting data that need to be correctly georeferenced. Nevertheless, no standard evaluation methods for vehicle navigation skills exist, and...
Abstract: The paper investigates the potential benefits of bringing together Internet of Things and deep learning techniques toward the development of assistive technologies for users with visual disabilities. We propose a computer vision system...
This letter presents a new method to compute alpha residuals (AR) in longwave infrared hyperspectral images. AR allow emissivity-based target detection being them a quantity, related to the target emissivity, which is less prone to errors in the...
Purpose : We present an approach for concurrent reconstruction of respiratory motion compensated abdominal DCE-MRI and PET data in an integrated PET/MR scanner. The MR and PET reconstructions share the same motion vector fields (MVFs) derived from...
Background : Among the novelties in the field of cardiovascular imaging, the construction of quantitative maps in a fast and efficient way is one of the most interesting aspects of the clinical research. Quantitative parametric maps are typically...
Abstract: In this work a novel top-down approach for the preparation of macroporous polydimethylsiloxane (mpPDMS) foam decorated with pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is reported. mpPDMS-MWCNTs foam is subjected to different...
This paper presents a new technique to locate a device moving along a known trajectory, when it is equipped with an UHF RFID reader. The proposed technique exploits the phase of consecutive readings of a single stationary tag positioned near the device...
