Optical imaging techniques offer powerful solutions to capture brain networks processing in animals, especially when activity is distributed in functionally distinct spatial domains. Despite the progress in imaging techniques, the standard analysis procedu ...
In this paper, we review half a century of research on the design of systems displaying (physical) self-assembly of macroscopic components. We report on the experience gained in the study of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mecha ...
Data-based control design methods most often consist of iterative adjustment of the controller&psila;s parameters towards the parameter values which minimize an H2 performance criterion. Typically, batches of input-output data collected from the system are ...
Intrinsic, thermal, and hygroscopic contributions to the in-plane residual stress in silicon nitride films on polyimide substrates are identified, based on iso- hygric thermal ramps and isothermal relative humidity jumps, combined with non-linear elastic m ...
Many applications in materials science, life science and process control would benefit from atomic force microscopes (AFM) with higher scan speeds. To achieve this, the performance of many of the AFM components has to be increased. In this work, we focus o ...
The scale-up/-down of polymn. reactors has to deal with large viscosity changes during the process, addressing mass- and heat-transfer issues. A practical example on scale-up of styrene and Me methacrylate free radical bulk and soln. polymn. is presented. ...
Cultivated mammalian cells have become the dominant system for the production of recombinant proteins for clinical applications because of their capacity for proper protein folding, assembly and post-translational modification. Thus, the quality and effica ...
The fluctuating behaviour of a Sulzer Metco F4 DC plasma gun has been investigated. The time dependencies of the arc voltage and current and of the optical emission of the plasma jet have been measured. An optical fibre inside the gun allows direct measure ...
A review, with 17 refs., on research carried out by the polymer reaction engineering group at EPFL in reaction engineering, including kinetic modeling of polymn. reactions (lab. and pilot scale reactors), free radical, polyepoxydation, polycondensation. De ...
A photoacoustic sensor has been developed for trace-gas monitoring using a near-infrared semiconductor laser emitting in the 2ν3 band of methane at 1.65 μm. The apparatus was designed for on-line process control in the manufacturing of the novel low-water- ...
