Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Peter Ryser, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

Remote System for Monitoring Animal Models With Single-Metabolite Bio-Nano-Sensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Eric Meurville, Andrea Cavallini, Cristina Boero, Léandre Bolomey

A novel system for remote monitoring of metabolism in an animal model is proposed in this paper. The system is obtained by integrating bio-nano-sensors to detect single- metabolites, an electrochemical front-end made with off-the-shelf components, a radio ...

Instrumented Knee Prosthesis for Force and Kinematics Measurements

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Pierre-André Farine, Peter Ryser, Catherine Dehollain, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, Steve Tanner

In this work, we present the general concept of an instrumented smart knee prosthesis for in-vivo measurement of forces and kinematics. This system can be used for early monitoring of the patient after implantation and prevent possible damage to the prosth ...

Size-selective diffusion in nanoporous alumina membranes for a glucose affinity sensor

Peter Ryser, Jean-Michel Sallese, Eric Meurville, Christophe Boss

The retention, diffusion and structural properties of 2–4 nm nanoporous alumina membranes were investigated in view of their integration as size-selective interface in a glucose sensor. These membranes exhibit remarkable glucose diffusion properties with o ...

Contactless rotational concentric microviscometer

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Sigfrid Straessler, Emeric Grandjean

We investigated the feasibility of a concentric rotational microviscometer which is actuated remotely. This type of sensor might find application in vivo as a passive implant. The heart of the sensor is a cylindrical rotor, actuated from a distance of up t ...
