Ground-source heat pumps are far more efficient than air-source but can cost 5-10 times more in up-front installation. Air-source units have dramatically improved in the past 15 years and are as easy to install as a traditional A/C unit that sits beside your house. And, if my research is correct and my HVAC salesperson can be trusted, heat pumps can be 10% to 30% cheaper to operate.

Symbiosis of Agents is a large-scale installation by Baoyang Chen that embeds AI-driven robots in an immersive, mirror-lined arena, probing the tension between machine agency and artistic authorship. Drawing on early cybernetics, rule-based conceptual art, and seminal robotic works, it orchestrates fluid exchanges among robotic arms, quadruped machines, their environment, and the public.

A formal specification of the desired software behaviour of the Princess Marijke lock complex
The Princess Marijke lock complex is a large lock and water-protection installation in the Netherlands between the river Rhine and the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal -- a large waterway connecting the Rhine to the port of Amsterdam. The lock complex consists of two independent locks and a moveable flood-protection barrier. Ensuring safe control of the lock complex is of utmost importance to guarantee both flood-protection and reliable ship operations. This paper gives a precise, formal description of the…

A Hybrid Ensemble Learning Framework for Image-Based Solar Panel Classification
The installation of solar energy systems is on the rise, and therefore, appropriate maintenance techniques are required to be used in order to maintain maximum performance levels. One of the major challenges is the automated discrimination between clean and dirty solar panels. This paper presents a novel Dual Ensemble Neural Network (DENN) to classify solar panels using image-based features. The suggested approach utilizes the advantages offered by various ensemble models by integrating them in…

Alles sehr unschön, da HAOS viele Geräte nicht sauber unterstützt und Container viele Einschränkungen bei Netzwerk und Sicherheit hat. :/

Installation and performance of the 3rd Veto plane at the SND@LHC detector
During 2022/2023 the optimal inefficiency of the Veto system of the SND@LHC detector was measured to be $(7.8\pm2.8)\times10^{-8}$. To reduce this inefficiency, a third Veto plane was installed during the 2023-2024 Year End Technical Stop. In addition, the Veto system was lowered to cover the target fully, thereby increasing acceptance. This paper describes how the inefficiency of the Veto system was reduced from $7.8\times10^{-8}$ with an acceptance of about $64\%$ of the target area in 2022-2…

GHAR: GeoPose-based Handheld Augmented Reality for Architectural Positioning, Manipulation and Visual Exploration
Handheld Augmented Reality (HAR) is revolutionizing the civil infrastructure application domain. The current trend in HAR relies on marker tracking technology. However, marker-based systems have several limitations, such as difficulty in use and installation, sensitivity to light, and marker design. In this paper, we propose a markerless HAR framework with GeoPose-based tracking. We use different gestures for manipulation and achieve 7 DOF (3 DOF each for translation and rotation, and 1 DOF for…

Gleiches gilt aber auch für jede Ölheizung. Heizkurven sind irgendwie gefühlt nie richtig eingestellt. Weil das aber auch direkt nach der Installation so gut wie unmöglich ist. Da müssen schon erst einmal ein paar Referenz-Kältetage her. Bei denen man dann auch gleich mal prüft, ob der Aussentemperaturfühler einigermassen sinnvolle Dinge anzeigt. Bloss: Nach dem Einbau kümmert sich niemand mehr drum.
