Distributed processing of continuous sliding-window k-NN queries for data stream filtering

Karl Aberer, Ivana Podnar, Kresimir Pripuzic

A sliding-window k-NN query (k-NN/w query) continuously monitors incoming data stream objects within a sliding window to identify k closest objects to a query. It enables effective filtering of data objects streaming in at high rates from potentially distr ...

Interplay of plasmon resonances in binary nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Yi Wang, Jing Li

By introducing the difference permittivity ratio eta=(epsilon (2)-epsilon (0))/(epsilon (1)-epsilon (0)), the Green matrix method for computing surface plasmon resonances is extended to binary nanostructures. Based on the near field coupling, the interplay ...

Dark-field optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Martin Villiger

Many solutions have been proposed to produce phase quantitative images of biological cell samples. Among these, Spectral Domain Phase Microscopy combines the fast imaging speed and high sensitivity of Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM) in the Fourier domai ...

Dark-field optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Martin Villiger

Dark-field illumination is known to enhance scattering contrast in optical microscopy. We combined this concept with Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The detection and illumination paths are decoupled, and only the scattered light origina ...

Application of Tactile Perception Enhancement

Sylvain Cardin

Surrounding environment is mainly perceived through sight and hearing. Our sense of touch is mostly dedicated to explore the surface of objects using hands and fingers. Tactile sensitivity of the body skin is rather limited in common life, however this rep ...

Color Image Dehazing using the Near-Infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk, Lex Schaul

In landscape photography, distant objects often appear blurred with a blue color cast, a degradation caused by atmospheric haze. To enhance image contrast, pleasantness and information content, dehazing can be performed. We propose that fusing a visible an ...

Integration of plasmonic trapping in a microfluidic environment

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Maerkl, Lina Huang

Near field generated by plasmonic structures has recently been proposed to trap small objects. We report the first integration of plasmonic trapping with microfluidics for lab-on-a-chip applications. A three-layer plasmo-microfluidic chip is used to demons ...

Integration of plasmonic optical traps in microfluidics - art. no. 69880V

Olivier Martin, Lina Huang

We study the integration of plasmonic traps with microfluidic channels. Plasmonic traps are optical traps that use the evanescent field generated by metallic nanostructures at their plasmon resonance to trap small objects. Contrary to conventional - far-fi ...

Vertical distribution of the different types of aerosols in the stratosphere: Detection of solid particles and analysis of their spatial variability

Quentin Bourgeois

Stratospheric aerosols play a significant role in stratospheric chemistry. In the past, it was assumed that only liquid droplets are present in the stratosphere. Nevertheless, a few lidar measurements have shown that sudden enhancement of aerosol content i ...

Combining multiple optical trapping with microflow manipulation for the rapid bioanalytics on microparticles in a chip

Philippe Renaud, René Salathé, Fabrice Merenda, Guy Delacrétaz, Johann Rohner, Gerben Boer

An array of four independent laser traps is combined with a polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic chip to form a very compact system allowing parallel processing of biological objects. Strong three dimensional trapping allows holding objects such as functional ...
