An optimized material removal process

Jean-François Molinari, Son-Jonathan Pham-Ba

We conduct boundary element simulations of a contact problem consisting of an elastic medium subject to tangential load. Using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, we find the optimal shape and location of the micro-contacts to maximize for a given loa ...

Novel Analytical Methods for Allergy-Related Studies

Mikaël Frossard

Managing and treating diseases require a deep understanding of the pathologies coupled with accurate diagnostic procedures. The constant development and improvement of bioanalytical methods reflect the need of diagnosis ameliorations with respect to accura ...

Balance Control Strategies during Standing in a Locked-Ankle Passive Exoskeleton

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola, Tristan Hubert Vouga, Romain Pierre François Baud

This paper investigates sensorimotor adaptation strategies of sagittal postural control in healthy subjects under kinematic constraints. A passive exoskeleton named CAPTUR, with locked ankle joints and legs motion restrained to the sagittal plane is used t ...

Transitioning with confidence during contact/non-contact scenarios

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Hsiu-Chin Lin

In this work, we propose a dynamical system based strategy for establishing a stable contact with convex shaped surfaces during non-contact/contact scenarios. A contact is called stable if the impact occurs only once and the robot remains in contact with t ...

Stable Transitions from Free-space to Contact: A Dynamical System Based Approach

Aude Billard, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian

In this work, we propose a dynamical system based strategy for establishing a stable contact with convex shaped surfaces during non-contact/contact scenarios. A contact is called stable if the impact occurs only once and the robot remains in contact with t ...

NK Cells Respond to Haptens by the Activation of Calcium Permeable Plasma Membrane Channels

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick

Natural Killer (NK) cells mediate innate immunity to infected and transformed cells. Yet, NK cells can also mount hapten-specific recall responses thereby contributing to contact hypersensitivity (CHS). However, since NK cells lack antigen receptors that a ...

Ophthalmic contact lens with a compressible affinity matrix

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Amélie Barbara Hildegarde Béduer

The invention relates to a contact lens for use in the treatment of ocular inflammatory pathologies. The contact lens comprises a soft porous material coupled, in certain embodiments, with detoxifying agents. Said material and/or agents contact and neutral ...

Microbiological characterization of 3193 French dwellings of Elfe cohort children

François Gillet

Although exposure to indoor microorganisms in early life has already been associated with respiratory illness or allergy protection, only a few studies have performed standardized samplings and specific microbial analysis. Moreover, most do not target the ...

Blending a MOOCs with interactive teaching

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Geoffrey Vincent

When Massive Open Online Courses became a hot topic in Europe. The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) decided to take the challenge and launched an internal call for proposals. At the Geodetic Engineering Lab, we saw a possibility to use conta ...

The effect of loading on surface roughness at the atomistic level

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Peter Spijker

One of the key points to better understand the origins of friction is to know how two surfaces in contact adhere to one another. In this paper we present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of two aluminium bodies in contact, exposed to a range of normal l ...
