Design optimization of Miniature Magnetorheological Valves with Self-Sensing Capabilities Used for a Wearable Medical Application

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Minh Trung Duöng

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials characterized as “intelligent” since their rheological properties may be controlled by the excitation of an external magnetic field. The application of the latter brings the fluid from a liquid to a semi-solid s ...

Decoding Neural Metabolic Markers From the Carotid Sinus Nerve in a Type 2 Diabetes Model

Silvestro Micera

Recent studies showed that the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) are overactivated in type 2 diabetes and that restoring the correct CSN neural activity can re-establish the proper metabolism. However, a robust characteriza ...
