Triple Crossed Flexure Pivot Based on a Zero Parasitic Center Shift Kinematic Design
Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann
Thanks to their absence of play, absence of contact friction and possible monolithic fabrication, flexure pivots offer advantages over traditional bearings in small-scale, high accuracy applications and environments where lubrication and wear debris are pr ...
2022Flexure Pivot Oscillator Insensitive to Gravity
Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan
The mechanical oscillator according to the invention comprises an oscillating body (601), at least one rigid intermediate body (602) and a support (600). Each rigid intermediate body is connected to the support by a pair of elements (610, 611) providing ro ...
2020Inertial Three-Operator Splitting Method and Applications
Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever, Cong Bang Vu
We introduce an inertial variant of the forward-Douglas-Rachford splitting and analyze its convergence. We specify an instance of the proposed method to the three-composite convex minimization template. We provide practical guidance on the selection of the ...
2019Distributed State Estimation and Control of Autonomous Quadrotor Formations Using Exclusively Onboard Resources
The navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles operating in environments without global positioning systems, including global navigation satellite systems and motion capture systems, is a recent research topic, without much work reported in the literature. In ...
EPFL2019Exosome-inspired targeting of cancer cells with enhanced affinity
One of the major challenges in the area of novel drug delivery systems (NDDSs) is finding distinguished ligands for specific receptors represented by many cancer cells in order to enhance their cancer homing efficacy. Exosomes, the so-called natural nanoca ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Intracorporeal anchoring and guiding system with permanent magnet force modulation
Magnetic manipulation of objects within the body is a growing field of research since the second half of the last century. Therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities offered by such technology are extended with the clinical need to make procedures less invasi ...
EPFL2013Broadband Dielectric Response in Hard and Soft PZT
Lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 or PZT) ferroelectric ceramics have been widely used in transducers, actuators, and sensors, since they posses high dielectric and piezoelectric properties with a relatively high temperature of operation. Commerciall ...
EPFL2011Fast 3D Model Update for the Compensation of Soft Tissue Deformation in Image Guided Liver Surgery
Today, the use of computer assistance to guide surgeon's gestures becomes increasingly common for interventions on rigid organs such as the hips and vertebrae. Guidance information is provided through the representation of the position of surgical instrume ...
EPFL2010Experimental vertical stability studies for ITER performance and design guidance
Operating experimental devices have provided key inputs to the design process for ITER axisymmetric control. In particular, experiments have quantified controllability and robustness requirements in the presence of realistic noise and disturbance environme ...
2009Real-Time Update of 3D Deformable Models for Computer Aided Liver Surgery
Providing accurate image-guidance for soft-tissue interventions remains a complex task. Most of the time, preoperative models and planning data are no more valid during the surgical process due to motions and deformations of the organ of interest. In this ...
