Machine learning based detection of digital documents maliciously recaptured from displays

We used to say “seeing is believing": this is no longer true. The digitization is changing all aspects of life and business. One of the more noticeable impacts is in how business documents are being authored, exchanged and processed. Many documents such as ...

A Big Data approach to Building Automation and Predictive Maintenance Techniques

Begun in 2017 and set to be finished at the end of 2020, the "Bergère 2020" Project is set to renovate the buildings in the Nestlé HQ.With a higher accent brought on Building automation, this thesis views itself as an exploratory journey in the literature and techniques for predictive analysis in the building environment. 3 Indicators are proposed to be able to monitor the performance of the building, and Predictive ANalysis techniques are explored and proven to be promising, with implementation planned for

Investigation of 2R-Cell Degradation under Thermal Cycling and RedOx Cycling Conditions by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Vaibhav Singh

A 2R-cell with a 10 cm2 active area LSCF cathode on a CGO buffer layer was tested at 780°C under thermal and RedOx cycling conditions; 20 thermal cycles were performed between 780°C and 100°C, using 200°C/h heating ramps and natural cooling, followed by 20 ...

Selective detection of epimeric pentose saccharides at physiological pH using a fluorescent receptor

Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres

Epimerisation between ribofuranose and arabinofuranose sugars is crucial in several biosynthetic pathways, but is typically challenging to monitor. Here, we have screened for fluorescent boronic acids that can be used as molecular probes for the specific d ...

Validation of 24-hour ambulatory gait assessment in Parkinson's disease with simultaneous video observation

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in motor disturbances that can impact normal gait. Although PD initially responds well to pharmacological treatment, as the disease progresses efficacy often fluctuates over the course of the day, and clinical management would benefit from long-term objective measures of gait. We have previously described a small device worn on the shank that uses acceleration and angular velocity sensors to calculate stride length and identify f

Aerial Locomotion in Cluttered Environments

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Many environments where robots are expected to operate are cluttered with objects, walls, debris, and different horizontal and vertical structures. In this chapter, we present four design features that allow small robots to rapidly and safely move in 3 dimensions through cluttered environments: a perceptual system capable of detecting obstacles in the robot’s surroundings, including the ground, with minimal computation, mass, and energy requirements; a flexible and protective framework capable of withstandi

Heat transfer in Interverterbral Discs (IVDs)

The Nucleus Pulposus (NP) is an avascular tissue that may be subject to temperature increase. Indeed, since the NP is not perfused by the cardio-vascular system, it implies that heat cannot be convected from it. The sources of heat could be either external due to the musculature that surrounded the spine, or internal due to viscous dissipations. The overall goal of the project is to characterize heat transfer in the intervertebral disc (IVD). For that purpose, the student will asked to develop a system that

Cyclic properties of sand : dynamic behaviour for seismic applications

Seismic wave propagation in granular soils can induce large strain amplitudes in case of strong earthquakes. Seismic motions are irregular in frequency content and in amplitude, and have three different components in orthogonal directions. In this context, ...

Molecular selective interface for an implantable glucose sensor based on the viscosity variation of a sensitive fluid containing dextran and Concanavalin A

Diabetes mellitus is a globally growing disease with more than 180 million cases worldwide and no cure exists. In order to minimize the many medical complications, tight glucose monitoring has been shown to be the best alternative. Many diabetics require i ...

Tension-induced fusion of bilayer membranes and vesicles

Maintaining the integrity of their protective plasma membrane is a primary requirement of cells. Accordingly, cellular events that breach the membrane are tightly regulated1. Artificial vesicles used in drug delivery must also stay intact until they have reached the desired target2. In both cases, the intrinsic resistance of the membrane to rupture must be overcome to allow the efflux of the vesicle’s contents. Here, we use mesoscopic simulations3 to study the fusion of 28-nm-diameter vesicles to 50 × 50 nm

SVG for SCADA Applications

Alfred Strohmeier

In this paper, we study the applicability of SVG to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. One of the main purposes of a SCADA application is to provide an operator with the graphical interface needed to monitor and control the production processes in an industrial plant. Currently, most SCADA systems are based on bitmap graphics or proprietary vector formats to build the operator's interface. We investigate here the advantages and some of the emerging technical challenges of using a web

Surveillance continue des transformateurs de puissance par réseaux de neurones auto-organisés

Alain Schenk

An outage of a power transformer, generally, has heavy financial consequences for electric power systems utilities. In order to prevent any failure and to optimize their maintenance, a growing number of operating parameters are measured on-line. The important amount of data together with the ever increasing number of units to be monitored calls for automatic alarm devices. Due to the complexity of power transformers, the evolution of the operating parameters is hardly known and, in fact, difficult to model.

Intrinsic biophysical monitors of transducin activation: fluorescence, UV-visible spectroscopy, light scattering, and evanescent field techniques

Horst Arthur Vogel

Information on the temporal order, the kinetics, and the energetics of each of the reaction intermediates is required in order to fully elucidate the mechanism of catalytic interaction of G proteins with their receptors. Intrinsic monitors, such as light scattering, absorption, and fluorescence, exploit endogenous properties of proteins, and therefore offer the advantage of leaving the system under investigation undisturbed. Such assays currently available for G proteins include the well-known intrinsic flu

Magnetic and mechanical AC loss of the ITER CS1 model coil conductor under transverse cyclic loading

Pierluigi Bruzzone

The magnetic field in a coil results in a transverse force on the strands pushing the cable towards one side of the jacket. A special cryogenic press has been built to study in a unique way the mechanical and electrical properties of full-size ITER Cable-in-Conduit (CIC) samples under a transverse, mechanical load. The press can transmit a variable (cyclic) force of at least 650 kN/m to a cable section of 400 mm at 4.2 K. The jacket around the cable is partly opened in order to transmit the transverse force
