Optic flow to control small UAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

Autonomous flight in confined or cluttered environments such as houses or urban canyons requires high manoeuvrability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and very limited overall system weight. Although flying animals are well capable of coping with su ...

Prediction of the adhesive fillet size for skin to honeycomb core bonding in ultra-light sandwich structures

Yves Leterrier, Julien Rion

The formation of resin fillet between honeycomb core cell walls and skin in light sandwich structures was studied to gain a better understanding of the bonding process. A method was developed for tailoring the amount of adhesive between 8 and 80 g/m2. The ...

Polylactic acid-phosphate glass composite foams as scaffolds for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)-0.04(Na(2)O)- 0.5(P(2)O(5)) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous c ...

Adipose tissue-specific inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein protects against diabesity because of increased energy expenditure

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

The role of the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRb) has been firmly established in the control of cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation. Recently, it was demonstrated that lack of pRb promotes a switch from white to brown adipocyte different ...

Effect of supraspinatus deficiency on humerus translation and glenohumeral contact force during abduction

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Arne Christian Vogel, Adrian Reist

BACKGROUND: Supraspinatus deficiency is the most frequent and important problem associated to rotator cuff pathologies. It reduces shoulder stability and can lead to osteoarthritis. The goal of this study was to develop a numerical model of the shoulder to ...

Mature-onset obesity and insulin resistance in mice deficient in the signaling adapter p62

Johan Auwerx

Signaling cascades that control adipogenesis are essential in the regulation of body weight and obesity. The adaptor p62 controls pathways that modulate cell differentiation. We report here that p62(-/-) mice develop mature-onset obesity, leptin resistance ...

Fly-inspired Visual Steering of an Ultralight Indoor Aircraft

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

We aim at developing autonomous micro-flyers capable of navigating within houses or small indoor environments using vision as principal source of information. Due to severe weight and energy constraints, inspiration is taken from the fly for the selection ...

Polylactic Acid–Phosphate Glass Composite Foams as Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na2O)–0.5(P2O5) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composit ...

Modeling and Characterization of Three Kinds of MEMS Resonators Fabricated with a Thick Polysilicon Technology

Massimo Mastrangeli

Three different kinds of two-port flexural resonators, with both clamped and free ends, and with nominal resonance frequencies between 5 MHz and 50 MHz, were designed and fabricated. Among them, a novel free-free third-mode resonator, as well as a tunable ...

The WalkTrainer™: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation*

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt, Yves Allemand

Robots are excellent tools for providing motion. Their motion is precise, stiff and as repeatable as we need. This led the Swiss Foundation for Cyberthosis (SFC) to exploit robotics jointly with the muscle electrostimulation as intelligent rehabilitation d ...
