Foundations of digital circuits: basic building blocks, Boolean algebra, circuit analysis and synthesis, and design of finite-state machines.

Interdepartmental (D-MAVT, D-ITET, D-PHYS) seminar series on Mechatronics and Microsystems, focusing on a new specific scope (field of research) each semester.Speakers from industry and research with an excellent international reputation in their field are invited for presentation and discussion.For a detailed program, please refer towww.mechatronics.ethz.ch

Basic methods for the fusion of sensor signals analysis with emphasis on context recognition of mobile communication systems (Wearable Computer). Sensor signal processing, Data Fusion, Segmentation, Bayes Decision Theory, Dempster-Shafer Theory, Decision Tress, kNN-Methods, Support Vector Machine and Hidden Markov Models are the main topics following the schedule of a design project.
