This paper presents a novel impedance-sensing device and its related microfluidics system developed to characterize the macroscopical properties of bacteria and microparticles. The system is based on a phase-sensitive detector with square-waves excitation ...
The Schottky monitors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be used for non-invasive beam diagnostics to estimate various bunch characteristics, such as tune, chromaticity, bunch profile or synchrotron frequency distribution. However, collective effects, ...
Research interest into the miniaturisation of micro-robots has soared in recent years due to the availability of suitable integrated actuators. The reduction in size of these components is achieved through the implementation of Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) ...
Adaptive structures can modify their geometry and internal forces through sensing and mechanical actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous work has shown that well-conceived adaptive design strategies achieve subst ...
A variety of biosensors have been proposed to quickly detect and measure the properties of individual microorganisms among heterogeneous populations, but challenges related to cost, portability, stability, sensitivity, and power consumption limit their app ...
Millimeter wave (mmWave) is an interesting research area in recent years. Transition connectors are key components of mmWave passive systems. The commercially available cable connectors are lossy and expensive in mmWave frequencies. In this paper, various ...
The safe and reliable operation of modern power system imposes the need to describe and estimate the system stability through impedance-admittance measurement and identification. The integration and operation of medium voltage equipment in existing infrast ...
The EPFL – LAI is investigating novel haptic technologies for rendering rich vibrotactile feedback in digital musical interfaces. The main objective is to develop an interactive surface that is able to render a multi-touch vibrotactile stimulus using piezo ...
Dielectric elastomers are soft actuators, made of an elastomer membrane sandwiched by compliant electrodes. Because of their high energy density and quick response, they are well suited for dynamic applications such as loudspeakers. Thanks to progress in t ...
The development and integration of power electronics equipment and converters for medium voltage ac and dc application has created different subsystem interactions that require proper investigation, understanding, description and estimation of global syste ...
