Explanation of Optical Force and Torque on Nanomotors as the Interplay of Huygens Sources

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Mintae Chung

Being able to understand how optical forces emerge from the interaction of light with matter is paramount for controlling the motion of nanoparticles as well as powering nanomotors. The purpose of this work is to uncover the physical mechanisms at the orig ...

Flexure Pivot Oscillators for Mechanical Watches

Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

It appears that the concerted efforts of the watchmaking industry are leading towards a limit in mechanical watch accuracy. The general consensus in horology is that the time base's quality factor, a dimensionless number that characterizes the oscillator d ...

TDCOSMO: I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference of H-0 from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Hung-Hsu Chan, Adriano Agnello

Time-delay cosmography of lensed quasars has achieved 2.4% precision on the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0. As part of an ongoing effort to uncover and control systematic uncertainties, we investigate three potential sources: 1- stellar kinematics ...

A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H-0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0, with three strong gravitational lens systems, We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and 11E0435-1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131-1231. For each lens, we com ...

MPA-SSA, design and test of a 65 nm ASIC-based system for particle tracking at HL-LHC featuring on-chip particle discrimination

Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Caratelli, Davide Ceresa, Simone Scarfì

Particle tracking detectors for High Energy Physics need a new readout technique to cope with the increase of the collision rate foreseen for the High Luminosity LHC upgrade. In particular, the selection of interesting physics events at the first trigger s ...

Flexure-Pivot Oscillator Restoring Torque Nonlinearity and Isochronism Defect

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

Flexure pivot based oscillators can advantageously replace the hairspring and balance wheel, the time base used in mechanical watches, by drastically reducing friction. However, flexure pivots have drawbacks including gravity sensitivity and restoring torq ...

Programmable Multistable Mechanisms: Design, modeling, characterization and applications

Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Multistable Mechanisms are mechanical devices having more than one stable state. Since these mechanisms can maintain different deformations with zero force, they are advantageous for low power environments such as wristwatches and medical devices. In this ...
