Capsules with submicron shells: production, stability, and leakage behavior

Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...

Extracellular bacterial inactivation proceeding without Cu-ion release: Drastic effects of the applied plasma energy on the performance of the Cu-polyester (PES) samples

Michaël Bensimon, Sami Rtimi

The widely different effects of Cu-polyester (PES) sputtered by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) compared to the lower energy direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) leading to bacterial inactivation are addressed during the course of th ...

HDR Images for Glare Evaluation: Comparison Between DSLR Cameras, an Absolute Calibrated Luminance Camera and a Spot Luminance Meter

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Peter Hansen

User calibrated digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are being used in visual comfort and especially for glare evaluations as affordable alternatives to high-end luminance cameras calibrated by the manufacturer itself. While the typical way for a user ...

Multiscale guided deblurring: Chromatic aberration correction in color and near-infrared imaging

Sabine Süsstrunk, Yue Lu, Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

Chromatic aberration, caused by photographic lens imperfections, results in the image of only one spectral channel being sharp, while the other channels are blurred depending on their wavelengths difference with the sharp channel. We study chromatic aberra ...

Automatic Detection of Dust and Scratches in Silver Halide Film using Polarized Dark-Field Illumination

Sabine Süsstrunk, Dominic Rüfenacht

We present a method to automatically detect dust and scratches on photographic material, in particular silver halide film, where traditional methods for detecting and removing defects fail. The film is digitized using a novel setup involving crosspolarizat ...

Resonant absorption of a chemically sensitive layer based on waveguide gratings

Hans Peter Herzig, Vincent Paeder, Laurent Davoine, Marc Schnieper, Guillaume Basset

A colorimetric sensor providing a direct visual indication of chemical contamination was developed. The sensor is a combination of a chemically sensitive dye layer and a resonant waveguide grating. Enhancement of the light absorption by the photonic struct ...

Oversampled Noisy Binary Image Sensor

Martin Vetterli, Feng Yang

We study the oversampled binary image sensor in [1] under noisy scenario. The binary image sensor is similar to traditional photographic film with pixel value equal to "0" or "1". The potential application of the oversampled binary image sensor is high dyn ...

Transparent, conducting Nb:SnO2 for host-guest photoelectrochemistry

Michael Graetzel, Morgan Mertens Stefik, Nripan Mathews, Maurin Cornuz, Takashi Hisatomi

Many candidate materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting will be better employed by decoupling optical absorption from carrier transport. A promising strategy is to use multiple thin absorber layers supported on transparent, conducting materials; ...

Bits from Photons : Oversampled Binary Image Acquisition

Feng Yang

The trends in the design of image sensors are to build sensors with low noise, high sensitivity, high dynamic range, and small pixel size. How can we benefit from pixels with small size and high sensitivity? In this dissertation, we study a new image senso ...

Bits from Photons: Oversampled Image Acquisition Using Binary Poisson Statistics

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang, Yue Lu

We study a new image sensor that is reminiscent of traditional photographic film. Each pixel in the sensor has a binary response, giving only a one-bit quantized measurement of the local light intensity. To analyze its performance, we formulate the oversam ...

Illuminant estimation and detection using near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...
