A Tunable Self-Offloading Module for Plantar Pressure Regulation in Diabetic Patients
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Paolo Germano, Christian Köchli, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Kenny Jeanmonod, Bhawnath Tiwari
Plantar pressure plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of foot ulcers among patients with diabetes and peripheral polyneuropathy. Pressure relief is a key requirement for both the prevention and treatment of plantar ulcers. Conventional medical practice ...
2024An optimized electronic platform for magnetorheological actuators control
This project focuses on the design and production of an electronic circuit, whose goal is to control the opening and closing of magneto-rheological (MR) valves embedded in a shoe. ...
2023Inhalation of climbing shoe particles is highly relevant for the human exposure to rubber-derived chemicals in indoor facilities
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset
There is increasing research focused on rubber-derived chemicals (RDCs), predominantly originating from tire and road wear particles. Other consumer products also contain RDCs, but the overall human exposure to these compounds is unknown. This study invest ...
ChemRxiv2023Automatic Body Segment and Side Recognition of an Inertial Measurement Unit Sensor during Gait
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin
Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors are widely used for motion analysis in sports and rehabilitation. The attachment of IMU sensors to predefined body segments and sides (left/right) is complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. Methods for solving the ...
MDPI2023Modeling and analysis of miniaturized magnetorheological valve for fluidic actuation
Fluidic actuation enables movement in a wide range of mechanical systems, from simple laboratory devices to more complex industrial machinery. Fluids are used to generate motion of mechanical pieces. The term "fluids" encompasses two types of technologies: ...
EPFL2023Pressure Offloading Device for Diabetic Footwear Based on Magnetorheological Fluids
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Christian Köchli, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Kenny Jeanmonod
Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease, with important complications that decrease the quality of life of patients. Diabetic Foot Ulceration is a major complication of diabetes and can lead to gangrene and amputation. It is related to high pressure develope ...
IEEE2022A framework for occupancy detection and tracking using floor-vibration signals
In sensed buildings, information related to occupant movement helps optimize important func-tionalities such as caregiving, energy management, and security enhancement. Typical sensing approaches for occupant tracking rely on mobile devices and cameras. Th ...
2022Using footstep-induced vibrations for occupant detection and recognition in buildings
Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira
Occupant detection and recognition support functional goals such as security, healthcare, and energy management in buildings. Typical sensing approaches, such as smartphones and cameras, undermine the privacy of building occupants and inherently affect the ...
2021Occupancy detection and tracking in buildings using floor-vibration signals
In sensed buildings, information related to occupant movement helps optimize important functionalities such as security enhancement, energy management, and caregiving. Typical sensing approaches for occupant tracking rely on mobile devices and cameras. The ...
EPFL2020Leather-Promoted Transformation of Glucose into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Levoglucosenone
Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Florent Menoud, Zhangjun Huang
The search for efficient catalysts frequently leads to new homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts of increasing complexity, and sometimes common, natural, or hybrid natural/synthetic materials that could be used in catalysis are overlooked. For example, t ...
