Rink-Agnostic Hockey Rink Registration
No full textHockey rink registration is a useful tool for aiding and automating sports
analysis. When combined with player tracking, it can provide location
information of players on the rink by estimating a homography matrix that can
warp broadcast video frames onto an overhead template of the rink, or vice
versa. However, most existing techniques require accurate ground truth
information, which can take many hours to annotate, and only work on the
trained rink types. In this paper, we propose a generalized rink registration
pipeline that, once trained, can be applied to both seen and unseen rink types
with only an overhead rink template and the video frame as inputs. Our pipeline
uses domain adaptation techniques, semi-supervised learning, and synthetic data
during training to achieve this ability and overcome the lack of non-NHL
training data. The proposed method is evaluated on both NHL (source) and
non-NHL (target) rink data and the results demonstrate that our approach can
generalize to non-NHL rinks, while maintaining competitive performance on NHL

Reaction on a Rink: Kondo-Enhanced Heterogeneous Single-atom Catalysis
No full textBoosting the efficiency of heterogeneous single-atom catalysts (SACs) by adjusting the microenvironment of the active atom has recently attracted enormous attention. However, attempts to tune the spin-spin interaction between the SAC and its microenvironment have remained rather scarce. Some interesting questions can be raised, among which a fundamental one is: can the surrounding environment influence the local spin state of an SAC, and if so, can such influence be utilized to enhance the catalytic activity?
In this work, we explore such a possibility by investigating the thermochemical effect of Kondo screening of a local atomic spin by free electrons in the metal support. Inspired by the exothermicity of the spin-screening interaction, a novel approach to heterogeneous catalysis -- reaction on a rink (ROAR) -- is proposed. In contrast to the conventional notion of thermal catalytic reaction, lowering the temperature of metal support is predicted to result in a reduced reaction barrier. As a proof of concept, CO oxidation catalyzed by the Co@CoPc/Au(111) composite is scrutinized. By combining the density functional theory and a hierarchical equations of motion approach, it predicts that the existing s-d hybridization between the magnetic d orbital of Co adatom and the substrate metallic states in the transition state will lower the free energy barrier and accelerate the reaction rate. Furthermore, if the strength of s-d hybridization is enlarged, a more appreciable speedup will be achieved.
This work highlights the potential usefulness of the spin degrees of freedom to heterogeneous single-atom catalysis, and our proposed ROAR approach could open up a new horizon for exploiting the role of atomic spin in chemical reactions
How to integrate energy-saving architectural instruments towards a holistic energy neutral ice rink design: Manual towards an energy neutral ice rink
No full textAn ice rink building can be described as an active machine. It needs electric energy to fulfill its purpose: to provide artificial ice to - initially - extend the ice skating season.Nowadays the need of artificial ice has increased, since the oppurtunity to practice the ice skating sport outside with natural circumstances ceased to exist. The main cause of this development is the increasing annual temperature, which has been a result of global warming.Due to this climate change, an ice rink building will soon be the only means to practice the sport.Another development is the increasing demands of the ice skaters to have the right circumstances to enhance their sporting performance.The architectural typology of the ice rink had been initiated in the 1980’s, before that speed skating on artificial ice had mainly been practiced outdoors. This newly introduced architecture merely played a role as a shell of protection, but is low performing in controlling the right circumstances for high-quality ice and comfort of the sporter.The ice rink building nowadays is still generally challenged in providing a controllable environment and the typology is still associated with being occupied in winter, and vacated in summer. The ice rink typology can be described as unsustainable.The directive of the research is to find architectural means to improve an ice rink in its sustainable characteristics. This is mainly focussed on lowering the energy demand by application of architectural solutions, and compensating this energy demand by integrating energy producing elements.For this research, mainly the usage/operation stage will be taken into account. For the construction stage (choice of materials and their embodied energy) only assumptions will be made to improve the buildings energy sustainability. The result will be an energy neutral ice rink.To gain insight in the building requirements, case studies of ice rink predecessors and questionnaires on larger potential user groups were necessary. To go into depth of the building characteristics and usefull feedback on how to design an ice rink, specialists in the ice rink field were interviewed. Where needed the research was expanded with literature studies.Outcomes of the research are, among others, a roof and a double facade acting as an climatic buffer, insulation in the building envelope, avoidance of heat radiation by the sun or surrounding materials, strong climate regulation devices, and a hermetically sealed sport area as protection from its outer environment. In the end the building design will provide an ice sport venue in winter and multifunctional venue in summer with its own fully controllable micro climate.These solutions will be applied in a program of requirements for a design proposal of the ice rink of the future.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Explorela
Effect of white-roof on ice rink refrigeration systems
No full textGoossen, Keith W.The deployment of white (high albedo) roofing is a common energy saving recommendation for a variety of buildings all over the world. Current literature states that a significant cooling savings can be achieved through the implementation of high albedo roofs, which can offset the heating penalty and cost of roof installation. ☐ This project focuses on the savings potential of high albedo roofing on an ice rink in the northeastern United States. We hope to find that a large portion of the ice rink heat load can be attributed to solar loading on the roof of the building. Therefore, by implementing a white roof, the ice rink would benefit from year-round savings of cooling energy. ☐ Several models are created through analysis of weather data and cooling energy data. The most accurate model is used to estimate white-roof savings potential. By using model parameter values, it is evident that a high albedo roof would only save the Skating Club of Wilmington 4.7 percent on refrigeration costs, much less savings than expected. Furthermore, this result is justified by comparing two similar September days to show that there is little to no change in refrigeration consumption when the building is covered by clouds or in full sunlight.University of Delaware, Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringM.S
