Boosting the Sensitivity of Ligand-Protein Screening by NMR of Long-Lived States

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Christian Heinis, Aurélien Bornet, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Alessandro Angelini, Simone Ulzega, Nicola Salvi, Roberto Buratto

A new NMR method for the study of ligand protein interactions exploits the unusual lifetimes of long-lived states (LLSs). The new method provides better contrast between bound and free ligands and requires a protein-ligand ratio ca. 25 times lower than for ...

DSPE: Domain Specific Language for Parallel Real-Time Stream Processing

Tiziano Leidi

Today, the evolution of software solutions for parallel processing is strong, as a consequence of the mainstream introduction of chip-level multiprocessors. These types of parallel processors, which include general-purpose multi-cores and graphical process ...

Proof of concept of a dual-band circularly-polarized RF MEMS beam-switching reflectarray

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Caner Güçlü

In this communication we propose the concept of a circularly polarized reflectarray (RA) antenna capable of independent beam-switching in both K and Ka bands. The RA unit cell comprises one microstrip ring per each operation frequency. Each ring is integra ...

1 Mbps coherent one-way QKD with dense wavelength division multiplexing and hardware key distillation

Andreas Peter Burg, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Nicolas Gisin

We present the latest results obtained with a quantum cryptography prototype based on a coherent-one way quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme. To support its continuous high rate secret key generation we developed different low-noise single photon detecto ...

How Children Tidy up Their Room with "Ranger" the Robotic Box

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud

"Ranger" is a robotic box designed to motivate young children to tidy up the toys in their rom. It explores the idea of integrating robotics into daily life objects, such as a wooden box. The box shows light and sound when toys are put inside or removed. W ...

Mechanism-Based Approach for the Deployment of a Tensegrity-Ring Module

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Costanza Schulin, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial systems composed of tension and compression components in a self-equilibrated prestress stable state. Although the concept is over 60 years old, few tensegrity-based structures have been used for engineering purposes. Tens ...

A New Aperture for Switched-Beam Low-Profile Ku-Band Mobile Terminal Array Antennas

Frédéric Bongard, Stefano Vaccaro

This paper presents an innovative switched-beam architecture for a low-cost mobile-terminal antenna, suitable for linear-polarized satellite communications systems. This antenna concept can produce twelve adjacent sector beams that cover the full azimuth f ...
