Proposition of a Modular I2C-Based Wearable Architecture

Daniel Thalmann, Xavier Righetti

In this paper we propose a novel wearable architecture based on the popular and proven I2C protocol. Our goal is to develop a modular approach towards wearable computing in a sense that users simply attach specific modules to their garments depending on th ...

Modeling and design of a hybrid MEMS motor

Yves Perriard, Sebastiano Merzaghi

This paper addresses the design of a new hybrid MEMS micromotor. It gives insights on the choices, which led to the fabrication of a small 3-phases axial flux BLDC motor. The stator is developed following the almost CMOS technology rules used for MEMS manu ...

Sliding of rough surfaces and energy dissipation with a 3D multiscale approach

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel approach to study sliding friction by the use of 3D multiscale coupling techniques. We highlight the difficulties of using multiscale schemes that couple molecular dynamics (MD) with finite elements to perfor ...

Adaptive finite elements with large aspect ratio for electroosmotic and pressure-driven microflows

Martinus Gijs, Marco Picasso, Virabouth Prachittham

A space–time adaptive method is presented for the numerical simulation of mass transport in electroosmotic and pressure-driven microflows in two space dimensions. The method uses finite elements with large aspect ratio, which allows the electroosmotic flow ...

A Modular Approach towards Wearable Computing

Xavier Righetti

Thanks to recent improvements in electronics, conductive materials and energy storage capabilities, we are now able to embed small circuits but also ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) into clothes. These devices are able to sense, process and communicate information ...

Roombots: Reconfigurable Robots for Adaptive Furniture

Auke Ijspeert, Pierre Dillenbourg, Aude Billard, Alexander Spröwitz, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi

Imagine a world in which our furniture moves around like legged robots, interacts with us, and changes shape and function during the day according to our needs. This is the long term vision we have in the Roombots project. To work towards this dream, we ar ...

Coloring axis-parallel rectangles

János Pach, Gábor Tardos

For every k and r, we construct a finite family of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane such that no matter how we color them with k colors, there exists a point covered by precisely r members of the family, all of which have the same color. For r = 2, th ...

Robotique collective et auto-assemblage

Michael Bonani

We present a study of collective robotics by including a mechatronics point of view. In the field it is usually claimed that collective robots are simple and relatively cheap because they are produced in large quantities. Instead in our study we show that ...

Thermo-economic analysis of chemical looping processes

Amélie Courjon

Among the different ways of capturing carbon dioxide in industrial processes, chemical looping process is presented as an improvement in oxy-fuel combustion. Since carbon dioxide is directly generated with water in the process, there is no need of an addit ...

Differential geometry applied to crystallography

Philippe Kocian

The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...
