A novel synthetic strategy for bioinspired functionally graded nanocomposites employing magnetic field gradients
Yves Leterrier, Ayat Karimi, Tommaso Nardi
In order to mimic the complex architecture of many bio-materials and synthesize composites characterized by continuously graded composition and mechanical properties, an innovative synthetic strategy making use of magnetic field gradients and based on the ...
2014Progresses and challenges in the development of high-field solenoidal magnets based on RE123 coated conductors
Recent progresses in the second generation REBa2Cu3O7-x (RE123) coated conductor (CC) have paved a way for the development of superconducting solenoids capable of generating fields well above 23.5 T, i.e. the limit of NbTi-Nb3Sn-based magnets. However, the ...
2014Système de régulation de pression agissant localement sur la peau et le tissu sous-cutané
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon
The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve ...
2014Drug concentration prediction and delivery
Giovanni De Micheli, Alena Simalatsar, Wenqi You Dubout
In medical practice, the decision-making process regarding drug dose is critical to patients’ health and recovery. For drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges, the medical doctor decides the quantity (dose amount) and frequency (dose interval) on the basis of ...
2014Magnetic Model of the CERN Proton Synchrotron
In this thesis, we present development of the first magnetic model of the main Proton Synchrotron magnets. The operation of the machine and conducting research on increasing its performance require a significant amount of the magnetic field data for the op ...
EPFL2013Design, Modeling and Optimization of Stochastic Reactive Distributed Robotic Systems
This dissertation describes a complete methodological framework for designing, modeling and optimizing a specific class of distributed systems whose dynamics result from the multiple, stochastic interactions of their constitutive components. These componen ...
EPFL2012An Implantable System for Angle Measurement in Prosthetic Knee
Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Hooman Dejnabadi
In this work we designed and tested an in-vivo measurement system of prosthetic knee joint angles. The system included a small permanent magnet in the femoral part and three magneto resistance sensors placed in the polyethylene part. The sensor configurati ...
2011Ring magnets for magnetic beads trapping in a capillary
Hubert Girault, Anne-Laure Gassner
This paper introduces the concept of ring magnets for magnetic beads (MBs) trapping in a capillary. Such magnets enable an easy insertion of a capillary simply like a pearl on a string. With this system, high magnetic forces are obtained thanks to the prox ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2011Magnetic Stationary Phases for Protein Adsorption
Magnetic beads (MB) have now proven to be a powerful tool in both research and biomedical applications. They are available in a wide range of sizes (from nm to several µm) and their surface can be modified with molecules having biological specificities and ...
EPFL2011Slotless Permanent-Magnet Machines: General Analytical Magnetic Field Calculation
Yves Perriard, Pierre-Daniel Pfister
This paper presents a general analytical model for predicting the magnetic field of slotless permanent-magnet machines. The model takes into account the effect of eddy currents in conductive regions and notably in conductive permanent magnets without negle ...
