Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aims at bringing thebenefits of virtualization to network middleboxes (routers, firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems, . . . ). In the last few years the NFV use-case,initially hampered by the poor performance…
A Pirani vacuum sensor based on mutual heating between a heater and a distinct temperature probe, separated by a 5 μm air gap, is proposed. The sensor is fabricated by applying a simple post-processing procedure…
System level modeling is applied to a recently proposed indirect current feedback (ICF) chopper instrumentation amplifier based on a Gm-C low pass filter architecture. The aim of the study is solving important limitations of the…
The lead-acid battery of an electric minibus has been replaced with a smaller size lithium-ion battery system consisting of standard 12 V modules and a hierarchical battery management system. The minibus has experimentally been tested…
A micro-Pirani vacuum sensor with an operating pressure range of more than 5 decades is described. The device is fabricated by applying a low-resolution and potentially low-cost front-side bulk micromachining step to a chip produced…
