The growing adoption of virtual queues in the service and retail industries has been greatly accelerated in recent times. In collaboration with a major ride-sharing platform, we study how the wait …
In this paper, a fiber-tip all-optical photoacoustic (PA) transducer is demonstrated. The transducer is integrated by a silicon cantilever, a single optical fiber and a silicon dioxide tube. The ex…
In this article, we propose an all-fiber self-mixing velocimeter based on a DBR fiber laser with adjustable injection intensity for the first time, and theoretically and experimentally explore the …
Fiber-optic acoustic sensors based on Fabry-Perot (F-P) interference structure have advantages of compact structure, high sensitivity, convenience to manufacture and immunity to electromagnetic int…
We explore whether customers are loss averse in time and how delay information may impact such reference-dependent behavior using observational and field experiment data from two call centers of an…
Just-in-time scheduling has become ubiquitous in the service industries. Although effective in reducing staffing level, hence labor cost, the potential impact of just-in-time scheduling on workersâ…
In this work, we implement a rate-adaptable (RA) prefix-free code distribution matching (PCDM) encoder in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The implemented RA-PCDM encoder supports a wide ran…
This paper presents a fast demodulation algorithm to determine fiber Bragg grating (FBG) from spectra acquired by low wavelength resolution spectrometers. A modified and improved Buneman frequency …
