On-body tag antenna and reader antenna design for UHF RFID
No full textCette thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet collaboratif FUI VEADISTA. Le but de ce projet est le développement d’une solution technologique à bas coût pour la veille à distance de personnes fragiles. Cette thèse se focalise sur la conception d’antennes lecteur et d’une étiquette RFID UHF posée sur le corps humain. Deux objectifs principaux sont visés dans ces travaux de thèse. Le premier aborde la conception d’antennes pour lecteurs RFID, le second aborde la conception d’une antenne large bande, pour une étiquette RFID, adaptée au corps humain. Les objectifs à atteindre pour l’antenne lecteur sont : un champ rayonné à polarisation circulaire, un gain élevé, faible coût de fabrication et faible épaisseur. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, une topologie d’anneau fente miniaturisé par une méthode itérative de repliement d’anneau associée à un réflecteur incluant un AMC à cellules élémentaires réduites sont employés. Le second objectif de la thèse est la conception d’une antenne large bande, pour une étiquette RFID, capable de minimiser l’influence du corps humain sans sacrifier la distance de lecture tout en restant faible coût. Un modèle électromagnétique d’avant-bras humain est utilisé comme support de conception de l’antenne tag large bande. Enfin le système RFID complet incluant, l’étiquette, l’antenne lecteur et le lecteur RFID ont fait l’objet de tests fonctionnels pour préparer les tests cliniques sur patient.This thesis was initiated within the VEADISTA project. The main goal of this project was to develop a cost effective technological remote care system for fragile person. The main focus of this thesis is on antenna design for RFID reader and also for RFID tags in contact with human body. For the reader antenna the criteria are: a circularly polarized radiated field, high gain, cost effectiveness and small thickness. To achieve these objectives, a miniaturized slot ring topology obtained by an iterative method of ring folding associated with a reflector including a reduced unit cells AMC are used. For the tag the objective is to design a broadband antenna, by minimizing the influence of human body without affecting the reading scope. The tag is needed to also be cost effective. An electromagnetic model of human forearm is used as the broadband tag antenna design support. Ultimately, the functionality of the complete system including a tag and a reader have been tested
Design and implementation of UHF RFID system to recover the statistics of an amateur sportsman
No full textCette thèse a été financée par l'ANRT, elle a pour objectif de concevoir et réaliser des antennes spécifiques pour des objets connectés. Plus précisément, l'application finale est dédiée au domaine sportif, afin de récolter les statistiques d’un footballeur amateur grâce à un ballon connecté et une chevillère connectée. Le coeur technologique de ce dispositif est basé sur la RFID. L'architecture du système comporte : une antenne lecteur placée sur le pied du joueur capable de communiquer avec des étiquettes insérées dans le ballon. A la fin du match, les statistiques récoltées par les capteurs sont envoyées par la liaison BLE pour les afficher sur un totem. Deux objectifs principaux sont visés dans ces travaux de thèse : le premier aborde la conception d'antennes large bande et multistandards pour lecteurs, capable de minimiser l'influence du corps humain sans sacrifier la portée, le second objectif est la conception d'antennes résistantes aux chocs mécaniques pour les étiquettesThis thesis was funded by the ANRT. The main goal is to design a specific antennas for connected objects. The final application is dedicated for the sport, in order to collect the performance of an amateur football player by using a connected ball and a connected strap. This device is based on the passive RFID. The system is composite of: a wearable antenna placed on the ankle, able to communicate with RFID tags inserted inside the ball. At the end of the match, the statistics collected by the sensors are sent by using BLE connection to a totem in order to display them. Two main objectives are targeted in this thesis: the first one is designing a broadband and multistandard antennas for readers, able to minimize the influence of the human body without sacrificing reading distance, the second objective is designing a resistant antennas for RFID tag
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
