Neel Effect current sensor featuring double core toroidal topology

A Neel Effect® current sensor featuring a double toroidal core is proposed. The measurement relies on the application of a harmonic excitation to the magnetic core and on the sensing of the magnetic flux density variations in the presence of a…

From fluorescence quenching by metal nanoparticles to enhanced spectroscopic detection in microfluidic volumes

The controlled creation of 'hot spots' in metal nanostructures in which the optical spectroscopic response of molecular species is enhanced is a subject of continuing interest, which has gained considerable impetus through recent progress in…

Dielectrophoretic separation of blood pathogens ou Bacterial extraction from biological samples using DEP forces

We report here a method based on DEP separation to concentrate pathogens out of a biological sample by combining positive and negative DEP to separate pathogens from the sample matrix. In this approach, we take advantage from the large tolerance of…

Characterization and prediction of magnetic losses in Soft Magnetic Composites under distorted induction waveform

A general approach to magnetic losses in Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) is discussed. It is applied to exciting conditions typical of applications, where the induction waveform is most frequently non-sinusoidal. The standard predicting approach,…

Méthodologie de dimensionnement sur cycle de vie d’une distribution en courant continu dans le bâtiment : applications aux câbles et convertisseurs statiques DC/DC

Since the development of roof PV systems and electric vehicles, the use of DC distribution for building has to be explored. However, an objective criterion has to be used to evaluate the interest of such distribution. While energy consumption and…

GRID IMPACT OF A WAVE FARM ON ITS LOCAL NETWORK: ANALYSIS OF VOLTAGE AND FLICKER LEVELS

Most oscillating wave energy converters without significant amounts of energy storage capacity generate significant electrical power fluctuations in the range of seconds. Because of these fluctuations, a wave farm may have a negative impact on the…

Optimal hardware/software partitioning of asystem on chip FPGA-based sensorless AC drive current controller

The recent field programmable gate array (FPGA) system on chip devices offer a new degree of design freedom. Indeed, these digital components allow the combination of software treatment (by the on-chip processor cores) and hardware treatment …

Weiss-Weinstein bound for MIMO radar with colocated linear arrays for SNR threshold prediction

Several works have suggested that a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar system offers improvement in terms of performance in comparison with classical phased-array radar. However, under the widely spread assumption of a uniform a priori…

Estimation dense de profondeur combinant approches variationnelles et observateurs asymptotiques

Cet article propose une nouvelle approche pour estimer en temps réel la carte de profondeur instantanée à partir de données inertielles et images fournies par une caméra en mouvement libre dans une scène statique. Une fonction coût invariante par…

Molecular resolution of a dioleoyl-Sn-glycero-phosphocholine lipid bilayer in liquid by phase modulation atomic force microscopy

We present a molecular resolved image of a supported lipid bilayer using atomic force microscopy in liquid conditions. Due to the well-known molecular diffusion processes with velocities of a few nm/s occurring in free-standing membranes, this type…
