Publications related to Ultrafast All-Polymer Electrically Tunable Silicone Lenses

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

In recent years the research community has paid significant attention to geometrically engineered materials. These materials derive their unique properties from their structure rather than their chemistry alone. Despite their success in the laboratory, the ...

Closed-Form Solution to Disambiguate Defocus Blur in Single-Perspective Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Marjan Shahpaski

Depth-from-defocus techniques suffer an ambiguity problem where depth planes on opposite sides of the focal plane have identical defocus. We solve the ambiguity by relying on the wavelength-dependent relationship between defocus and depth. We conduct a rob ...

AAM: An Assessment Metric of Axial Chromatic Aberration

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Frederike Dümbgen

Knowledge of lens specifications is important to identify the best lens for a given capture scenario and application. Lens manufacturers provide many specifications in their data sheets, and multiple initiatives for testing and comparing different lenses c ...

High-cycle electromechanical aging of dielectric elastomer actuators with carbon-based electrodes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter, Christine Anne de Saint-Aubin

We present high-cycle aging tests of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) based on silicone elastomers, reporting on the time-evolution of actuation strain and of electrode resistance over millions of cycles. We compare several types of carbon-based elect ...

Scaling effect and its impact on wavelength-scale microlenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We revisit the scaling laws in micro-optical systems to highlight new phenomena arising beyond a conventional optical regime, especially when the size of the system approaches to the operational wavelength. Our goal is to visualize the impact of the scalin ...

Adamts18 deletion results in distinct developmental defects and provides a model for congenital disorders of lens, lung, and female reproductive tract development

Cathrin Brisken, Marian Caikovski, Alessandra Piersigilli, Dalya Ataca, Yakir Guri

The ADAMTS family comprises 19 secreted metalloproteinases that cleave extracellular matrix components and have diverse functions in numerous disease and physiological contexts. A number of them remain 'orphan' proteases, among them ADAMTS18, which has bee ...

Silicones with enhanced permittivity for dielectric elastomer actuators

Frank Nüesch

The research efforts for silicone based elastomers with high dielectric permittivity (epsilon') intensified significantly in the last years since such materials would allow the construction of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) with low operation voltage ...

Genius of Utopia

Matthew Skjonsberg

Seen through the ‘frankly eutopian’ lens of Patrick Geddes’ regional survey methods – encompassing both his pragmatic involvement with existing cities and his regional ambitions – this essay considers several practical interpretations of the term ‘genius’ ...
