Comparison of two illumination modes for wide-field optical coherence tomography has revealed that spatially coherent illumination generates coherent cross talk, causing significant image degradation, and that spatially incoherent illumination, with an ade ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
The critical current in multistrands superconducting (SC) cables is usually lower than expected due to current unbalance among strands and early current sharing. It is then crucial to be able to detect the current distribution in SC cables to assess their ...
A new definition of the sheath edge is rigorously derived taking into account the kinetic properties of the plasma, and a consistent set of local sheath edge conditions is presented for the case of a magnetic field perpendicular to the wall. These local bo ...
This paper analyses the fragmentation of kidney stones by direct impact with Swiss Lithoclast Master(R). Based on a previous work, the impact of the probe of the Lithoclast is modeled with a displacement control of the nodes inside the impacted area. Diffe ...
In this review we describe fundamentals of scanning near-field optical microscopy with aperture probes. After the discussion of instrumentation and probe fabrication, aspects of light propagation in metal-coated, tapered optical fibers are considered. This ...
Network tomography infers internal network characteristics by sending and collecting probe packets from the network edge. Traditional tomographic techniques for general topologies typically use a mesh of multicast trees and/or unicast paths to cover the en ...
A miniaturized and fully integrated probe for analytical assays based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is proposed. It combines both, the electrode transducer and the photodetector in a single 5x6 mm2 silicon chip. The device accommodates two identical ce ...
We present a CMOS integrated two axes magnetometer. The sensor contains a miniaturized 8-contact circular vertical Hall device as a sensing device, as well as the necessary biasing and signal conditioning electronics. A novel biasing of the device, signal ...
Low Pressure Plasma Spraying (LPPS) processes use a DC plasma jet expanding at low pressure for fast deposition of dense coatings in a controlled atmosphere. The LPPS technology is widely used industrially in particular in the aeronautics and medical indus ...
