Proxying UPnP service discovery and access to a non-IP Bluetooth network on a mobile phone

The current service- and device discovery protocols are not platform- and network independent. Therefore, proxy servers will be needed to extend the range of IP-based discovery protocols to non-IP domains. We developed an architecture of a proxy that enables Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices and services to be discovered and accessed on the...

Anthropometry for WorldSID a world-harmonized midsize male side impact crash dummy

The WorldSID project is a global effort to design a new generation side impact crash test dummy under the direction of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The first WorldSID crash dummy will represent a world-harmonized mid-size adult male. This paper discusses the research and rationale undertaken to define the...

Properties of galaxy clusters in different cosmological scenarios - I. Intrinsic properties

We study the influence of the various parameters of scenarios of large-scale structure formation on properties of galaxy clusters, and investigate which cluster properties are most sensitive to these parameters. We present a set of large N-body simulations and derive the intrinsic properties of galaxy clusters in these simulations, which...
