A new bioinspired method for pressure and flow sensing based on the underwater air-retaining surface of the backswimmer Notonecta

In technical systems, static pressure and pressure changes are usually measured with piezoelectric materials or solid membranes. In this paper, we suggest a new biomimetic principle based on thin air layers that can be used to measure underwater pressure c ...

Numerical modeling of heart valves using resistive Eulerian surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Aymen Laadhari

The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a highly deformable thin structure (the valve's leaflets), a resistive Euleria ...

Simultaneous neurochemical stimulation and recording using an assembly of biosensor silicon microprobes and SU-8 microinjectors

Nico de Rooij, Peter Van der Wal, Olivier Frey

In this contribution we present multi-channel microinjector arrays fabricated by a reliable three-layer SU-8 process for the local delivery of specific substances into brain tissue. They are designed to be assembled with previously developed. implantable b ...
