A Wide Tuning Range 4th-Order Gm-C Elliptic Filter for Wideband Multi-Standards GNSS Receivers

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Gabriele Tasselli, Saeed Ghamari

A 4 th order Gm-C elliptic low-pass filter with a wide continuous tuning range is presented. The continuous tuning is achieved by means of a new tuning circuit which adjusts the bias current of the Gm cell's input stage to control the cut-off frequency. Wi ...

A Self-Regulating Oscillator for Sensor Operation of Nanoelectromechanical Systems

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre, Christian Kauth

A closed-loop oscillator topology is proposed for dynamic sensor operation of nanoelectromechanical systems, benefiting from the structure's quality factor. Automatic adaptation to diverse sensors' properties is achieved via a self-regulating phase-locked ...

Tuning In to Sound: Frequency-Selective Attentional Filter in Human Primary Auditory Cortex

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Stephanie Clarke

Cocktail parties, busy streets, and other noisy environments pose a difficult challenge to the auditory system: how to focus attention on selected sounds while ignoring others? Neurons of primary auditory cortex, many of which are sharply tuned to sound fr ...

Color and Brightness Tuning in Heteronuclear Lanthanide Terephthalate Coordination Polymers

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Svetlana Eliseeva

Heteronuclear lanthanide terephthalate coordination polymers with the general chemical formula [Ln2-2xLn2x(bdc)3(H2O)4], for which bdc2- symbolizes benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (or terephthalate) and Ln and Ln represent trivalent rare earth ions, were synthes ...

Data-driven extraction of drive functions for legged locomotion: A study on Cheetah-cub robot

Auke Ijspeert, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

The process of finding working gaits for legged robots always, to different extents, includes manual tuning, systematic search, or optimization of control parameters. This process populates a dataset of control parameter vectors and respective robot behavi ...

Hippocampal volume predicts fluid intelligence in musically trained people

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras

Recently, age-related hippocampal (HP) volume loss could be associated with a decrease in general fluid intelligence (gF). In the present study we investigated whether and how extensive musical training modulates human HP volume and gF performance. Previou ...

Brillouin distributed fibre sensing using phase modulated probe

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

A novel configuration for a Brillouin distributed sensor using a phase modulated probe is presented. It offers the combined advantages of a direct implementation using simple devices and a large immunity to noise, shifting the information from the baseband ...

Elastomer based tunable optofluidic devices

Demetri Psaltis, Andreas Vasdekis, Wuzhou Song

The synergetic integration of photonics and microfluidics has enabled a wide range of optofluidic devices that can be tuned based on various physical mechanisms. One such tuning mechanism can be realized based on the elasticity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDM ...

Fano resonant plasmonic systems: Functioning principles and applications

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera, Benjamin Gallinet, Thomas Gerd Siegfried

Using a generalization of Fano formula that includes the intrinsic losses associated with metals, we retrieve the underlying modal structure that produces Fano resonances from the interference between a bright and a dark mode. This knowledge is used to det ...
