Exploiting co-adaptation for the design of symbiotic neuroprosthetic assistants

The success of brain-machine interfaces (BMI) is enabled by the remarkable ability of the brain to incorporate the artificial neuroprosthetic 'tool' into its own cognitive space and use it as an extension of the user's body. Unlike other tools, neuroprosth ...

Suppression of the zero-order in off-axis digital holography through nonlinear filtering

Michaël Unser, Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Jonas Kühn, Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula

We present experimental validation of a new reconstruction method for off-axis digital holographic microscopy (DHM). This method effectively suppresses the object auto-correlation — namely the zero-order term — from holographic data, thereby improving the ...

Dynamical Spot Queries to Improve Specificity in P450s based Multi-Drugs Monitoring

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Andrea Cavallini, Abhishek Garg

Personalized therapy requires accurate and frequent monitoring of drugs metabolic response in living organisms during drug treatments. In case of high risk side effects, e.g. therapies with interfering anti-cancer molecules cocktails, direct monitoring of ...

Selective Enhancement of Carbon Nanotube Photoluminescence by Resonant Energy Transfer

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

We report on a simple method for enhancing the efficiency of photoluminescence (PL) emission from selected chiral forms of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The method is based on the use of a fluorescent dye (Nile blue A) that shows th ...

WAPA: A wearable framework for aerobatic pilot aid

Daniel Thalmann, Sylvain Cardin, Xavier Righetti

Disorientation induced by G-forces during aerobatic flight generates difficulties for the pilots to perfectly align their aerobatic maneuver. This paper presents a modular wearable system for enhancing training of aerobatic pilots. A combination of acceler ...

Non-Invasive Brain-Machine Interaction

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Eileen Lew Yi Lee, Pierre Ferrez

The promise of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) technology is to augment human capabilities by enabling interaction with computers through a conscious and spontaneous modulation of the brainwaves after a short training period. Indeed, by analyzing brain ele ...

Engineering the optical response of plasmonic nanoantennas

Olivier Martin, Holger Fischer

The optical properties of plasmonic dipole and bowtie nanoantennas are investigated in detail using the Green's tensor technique. The influence of the geometrical parameters (antenna length, gap dimension and bow angle) on the antenna field enhancement and ...

Enhancement of the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell by formation of shallow transport levels under visible light illumination

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

The performance enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) in lithium-free and lithium-containing electrolytes under visible light-soaking was examined by impedance spectroscopy and photovoltage transient decay measurements. The improvement was found ...

Design and acceptability assessment of a new reversible orthosis

Jamie Paik

We present a new device aimed at being used for upper limb rehabilitation. Our main focus was to design a robot capable of working in both the passive mode (i.e. the robot shall be strong enough to generate human-like movements while guiding the weak arm o ...
