Capture system adapted to capture orbital objects, in particular for deorbiting purposes

Pierre-Alain Mäusli, Muriel Richard, Michaël Pellet

There is described a capture system (100) adapted to capture orbital objects (2000), in particular for deorbiting purposes. The capture system (110) comprises (i) a deployable capture structure (110) designed to be deployable between a standby configuratio ...

State-to-state scattering of CH₄ from Ni(111) and Gr/Ni(111)

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of the first state-to-state surface scattering experiments for methane from clean single crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. The experiments use infrared laser pumping to prepare the incident C ...

On the Evolution of Fingertip Grasping Manifolds

Aude Billard

Efficient and accurate planning of fingertip grasps is essential for dexterous in-hand manipulation. In this work, we present a system for fingertip grasp planning that incrementally learns a heuristic for hand reachability and multi-fingered inverse kinem ...

Towards evasive maneuvers with quadrotors using dynamic vision sensors

Davide Scaramuzza

We present a method to predict collisions with objects thrown at a quadrotor using a pair of dynamic vision sensors (DVS). Due to the micro-second temporal resolution of these sensors and the sparsity of their output, the object's trajectory can be estimat ...

The zCOSMOS redshift survey: evolution of the light in bulges and discs since z similar to 0.8

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Yatao Peng, Richard Massey, Angelo Bongiorno

We studied the chronology of galactic bulge and disc formation by analysing the relative contributions of these components to the B-band rest-frame luminosity density at different epochs. We present the first estimate of the evolution of the fraction of re ...

Near-Infrared Guided Color Image Dehazing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Chen Feng

Near-infrared (NIR) light has stronger penetration capability than visible light due to its long wavelength, thus being less scattered by particles in the air. This makes it desirable for image dehazing to unveil details of distant objects in landscape pho ...

The effect of Cr composition on the local atomic and magnetic structure of pristine and ion-irradiated FeCr alloys

Andi Idhil Ismail

High Cr (9-14% Cr) ferritic/martensitic steels are considered as one of the most promising candidates for structural materials for advanced nuclear power plants. Therefore, the understanding of the evolution of properties under operation conditions is of p ...

Three-dimensional nonlinear seismic analysis of concrete faced rockfill dams subjected to scattered P, SV, and SH waves considering the dam-foundation interaction effects

Ali Seiphoori

In this study, the nonlinear seismic analysis of a typical three-dimensional concrete faced rockfill dam is reported. Three components of the Loma Prieta (Gilroy 1 station) earthquake acceleration time history are used as input excitation. The dam under st ...

Quantitative phase restoration by direct inversion using the optical transfer function

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Shanshan Kou, Laura Waller

Quantitative phase recovery of phase objects is achieved by a direct inversion using the defocused weak object transfer function. The presented method is noniterative and is based on partially coherent principles. It also takes into account the optical pro ...

Controlling and utilizing optical forces at the nanoscale with plasmonic antennas

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera

Plasmonic dipole antennas are powerful optical devices for many applications since they combine a high field enhancement with outstanding tunability of their resonance frequency. The field enhancement, which is mainly localized inside the nanogap between b ...
