Spectral phase, amplitude, and spatial modulation from ultraviolet to infrared with a reflective MEMS pulse shaper

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Jérôme Extermann, Fabio Jutzi, Sébastien Lani, Luigi Bonacina

We describe the performance of a reflective pulse-shaper based on a Micro-ElectroMechanical System (MEMS) linear mirror array. It represents a substantial upgrade of a preceding release [Opt. Lett. 35, 3102 (2010)] as it allows simultaneous piston and tilt ...

Towards Autonomous Energy-Wise RObjects

Alcherio Martinoli, Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Philippe Rétornaz, Florian Christopher Vaussard

In this article, the RObject concept is first introduced. This is followed by a survey of applicable energy scavenging technologies. Energy is a key issue for the large scale deployment of robotics in daily life, as recharging the batteries places a consid ...

Surface DBD’s and plasma-flow interaction

Christoph Hollenstein, Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke, Sami Goekce, Samantha Pavon

Surface Dielelectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) are becoming very attractive in the field of flow control technologies for their promising effects on stabilising separating flows, at least at low speeds under the so-called ionic wind effect. Numerous experim ...

Flexure-based pointing mechanism with sub-microradian resolution for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

Simon Nessim Henein, Philippe Schwab

The Point Ahead Angle Mechanism (PAAM) for ESA’s Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission will compensate the out-of-plane point-ahead angle between three satellites flying 5 million kilometres apart. The PAAM consists of a mirror supported by fle ...

SCALABLE CASCADED SNAP-IN ACTUATORS FOR LARGE-STROKE DISPLACEMENTS

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Yves Pétremand, Nicolas Bernard Golay

This paper will focus on the design, and first measurements of a cascaded in-plane parallel plate snap-in actuator. The actuator is based on a rather simple microfabrication process and can achieve a total displacement of several tenths of microns. Compare ...

Investigation of particles emitted from modern 2-stroke scooters

Philippe Buffat

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), combined with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)—both single and tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA)—have been used to investigate particles emitted by two modern 2-stroke scooters with different mix ...

An automatic parameter extraction method for the 7x50m Stroke Efficiency Test

Jürg Markus Germann

We developed an automatic method to extract the parameters of the 7 x 50m Stroke Eficiency Test for swimming based on a wrist worn acceleration sensor device. In the wrist acceleration signal we detect characteristic swim events such as wall push-offs, wal ...

Dynamic faceted search for discovery-driven analysis

Anastasia Ailamaki, Debabrata Dash

We propose a dynamic faceted search system for discovery-driven analysis on data with both textual content and structured attributes. From a keyword query, we want to dynamically select a small set of "interesting" attributes and present aggregates on them ...

Writer Identification for Smart Meeting Room Systems

Samy Bengio, Jonas Richiardi

In this paper we present a text independent on-line writer identification system based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). This system has been developed in the context of research on Smart Meeting Rooms. The GMMs in our system are trained using two sets of ...
