A real-time research platform to study vestibular implants with gyroscopic inputs in vestibular deficient subjects

Silvestro Micera, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen, Maurizio Ranieri

Researchers have succeeded in partly restoring damaged vestibular functionality in several animal models. Recently, acute interventions have also been demonstrated in human patients. Our previous work on a vestibular implant for humans used predefined stim ...

Evaluation of Accelerometer-Based Fall Detection Algorithms on Real-World Falls

Kamiar Aminian

Despite extensive preventive efforts, falls continue to be a major source of morbidity and mortality among elders. Real-time detection of falls and their urgent communication to a telecare center may enable rapid medical assistance, thus increasing the sen ...

Locating leak detecting sensors in a water distribution network by solving prize-collecting Steiner arborescence problems

Thomas Liebling

We consider the problem of optimizing a novel acoustic leakage detection system for urban water distribution networks. The system is composed of a number of detectors and transponders to be placed in a choice of hydrants such as to provide a desired covera ...

Microfluidic system based on thermoexpandable polymer for on chip blood coagulation testing

Philippe Renaud, Lynda Metref, Raphaël Goetschmann, François Bianchi

This paper describes a simple system for the actuation of a biological fluid through micro-channels with a thermoactivated polymer actuator. This system is of interest for the development of single-use diagnostic test-strips since the actuation of the samp ...

Determination of the thermophysical properties of a CuCr1Zr alloy from liquid state down to room temperature

Jean-Marie Drezet

Laboratory tests and inverse methods are used for the determination of the thermophysical properties of a CuCrZr alloy. The solidification path (temperature versus solid fraction curve) is determined using the Single Pan Thermal Analysis (SPTA) technique d ...

The role of small specimen test technology in fusion materials development

Philippe Spätig, Guillaume Lucas

Small specimen test technology (SSTT) has long been an integral part of fusion materials development. Past work has led to an array of techniques that not only have provided a means of efficiently using available irradiation volumes but have also led to im ...
