Highly innovative building control tools tackling the energy performance gap
(HIT2GAP Consortium, 2018-10-31)The deliverable D6.1 is part of Work Package (WP) 6 with focus on ‘Innovative services definition and market exploitation’. More specifically, it belongs to Task (T) 6.1 named ‘New generation of services based on intelligent ... -
Holistic evaluation of field-scale denitrifying bioreactors as a basis to improve environmental quality.
(Association of Crop, Soil and Environmental Societies (ACSES), 2015-10-02)Denitrifying bioreactors effectively convert nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) to di-nitrogen and thereby protect water quality in agricultural landscapes. In the present study, the performance of a pilot-scale bioreactor (50 m ... -
Home gateway architecture for generic multimedia services
(1999)Development of a prototype residential gateway based on low-cost off-the-shelf PC components is described. The goal is to show how such a gateway might operate to satisfy the requirements of a broad spectrum of customer ... -
Home network infrastructure for handheld/wearable appliances
(IEEE, 2002)A server infrastructure allows wireless wearable appliances or portable handsets to access consumer services offered via the server. Services are accessed via a Universal Home Services Interface (UHSI) which is ... -
Home networking middleware infrastructure for improved audio/video appliance functionality and interoperability
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)A software architecture is described which significantly improves the accessability of multiple home appliances on a heterogeneous home network. Methods for aggregating devices into virtual clusters on a local middleware ... -
How accurate are Energy Performance Certificates indicated energy savings of building retrofits?
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)With the impending nearly zero energy building (NZEB) regulations for residential new builds and retrofits for the European Union (EU) housing stock and the percentage of new buildings relative to existing buildings is ... -
How do the technological capability and strategic flexibility of an organization impact its successful implementation of Industry 4.0? A qualitative viewpoint
(Emerald, 2022-04-18)Purpose Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) consists of numerous digital technologies applied in organizations strategically to add value to the customer. Different organizations have varying degrees of technological capability and ... -
How does performance vary between early and late adopters of Industry 4.0? A qualitative viewpoint
(Emerald, 2021-10-12)Purpose Industry 4.0 is a new trend among organizations. Some organizations have been early adopters or later adopters of Industry 4.0. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how performance effects vary between early ... -
Human centred design considerations for connected health devices for the older adult
(MDPI, 2014-06-04)Connected health devices are generally designed for unsupervised use, by non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices ... -
Hybrid Semi-Parallel Deep Neural Networks (SPDNN) – example methodologies and use cases
(XPERI Inc., 2018-05-23)Deep neural networks (DNNs) are typically trained on specific datasets, optimized with particular discriminating capabilities. Often several different DNN topologies are developed solving closely related aspects of a ... -
Hybrid video-frame pre-processing architecture for HD-video
(IEEE, 2011)As imaging devices begin to support full frame rate video at 720p and higher resolutions image processing algorithms which operate on full image frames become severely challenged due to both the processing costs of operating ... -
Hydrodynamic modelling approaches to assess mechanisms affecting the structural performance and maintenance of vortex drops shaft structures
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-29)Vortex drop shafts, a key hydraulic structure within modern day deep sewer conveyance systems, must be designed structurally to sustain performance and longevity of operating life under very energetic loading conditions. ... -
