Adaptive analysis-aware defeaturing

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Removing geometrical details from a complex domain is a classical operation in computer aided design for simulation and manufacturing. This procedure simplifies the meshing process, and it enables faster simulations with less memory requirements. But depen ...

Evidence of extensive lunar crust formation in impact melt sheets 4,330 Myr ago

Cyril Cayron

Accurately constraining the formation and evolution of the lunar magnesian suite is key to understanding the earliest periods of magmatic crustal building that followed accretion and primordial differentiation of the Moon. However, the origin and evolution ...

Topological optomechanically induced transparency

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

The interaction of optical and mechanical degrees of freedom can lead to several interesting effects. A prominent example is the phenomenon of optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT), in which mechanical movements induce a narrow transparency window i ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Secular effects of ultralight dark matter on binary pulsars

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Dark matter (DM) can consist of very light bosons behaving as a classical scalar field that experiences coherent oscillations. The presence of this DM field would perturb the dynamics of celestial bodies, either because the (oscillating) DM stress tensor m ...

Plano-concave mini-lens array for plenoptic imaging applications

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

An array of plano-concave mini-lenses is designed to realize a particular version of Light Field camera known as Plenoptic Camera 1.2. The Delano diagram related to the on-axis optical channel of such a camera is computed to show its retro-focus behavior a ...

Topological Analog Signal Processing

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Analog signal processors have attracted a tremendous amount of attention recently, as they potentially offer much faster operation and lower power consumption than their digital versions. Yet, they are not preferable for large scale applications due to the ...

Characteristic modes of vibration of Q-balls

Andrey Shkerin

In this report, based on [1], we study analytically small perturbations of classically stable Q-balls in 3+1 dimensions. Models with flat and polynomial potentials are considered. We find that large Q-balls in the model with the flat potential possess soft ...

A multidirectional gravity-assist algorithm that enhances locomotor control in patients with stroke or spinal cord injury

Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Jocelyne Bloch, Selin Anil, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Jessica Lanini, Rubia van den Brand, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot

Gait recovery after neurological disorders requires remastering the interplay between body mechanics and gravitational forces. Despite the importance of gravity-dependent gait interactions and active participation for promoting this learning, these essenti ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...
