Motile dislocations knead odd crystals into whorls

The competition between thermal fluctuations and potential forces governs the stability of matter in equilibrium, in particular the proliferation and annihilation of topological defects. However, driving matter out of equilibrium allows for a new class of ...

Ultralow-Profile Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-B and

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An ultralow-profile circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna is presented in this article, based on the variable-rotation technique for beam collimation and scanning. Starting from a conventional split-loop element, a new wideband element is des ...

Recursive evaluation and iterative contraction of N-body equivariant features

Michele Ceriotti, Sergey Pozdnyakov, Jigyasa Nigam

Mapping an atomistic configuration to a symmetrized N-point correlation of a field associated with the atomic positions (e.g., an atomic density) has emerged as an elegant and effective solution to represent structures as the input of machine-learning algo ...

Wnt-controlled sphingolipids modulate Anthrax Toxin Receptor palmitoylation to regulate oriented mitosis in zebrafish

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Oriented cell division is a fundamental mechanism to control asymmetric stem cell division, neural tube elongation and body axis extension, among other processes. During zebrafish gastrulation, when the body axis extends, dorsal epiblast cells display divi ...

Theory and design of spherical oscillator mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Roland Andreas Bitterli, Ilan Vardi, Lennart Rubbert, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Nicolas Ferrier, Billy Nussbaumer

In previous work, we showed that two degree of freedom oscillators can be advantageously applied to horological time bases since they can be used to eliminate the escapement mechanism. We subsequently examined planar two degree of freedom oscillators based ...

Optimal visuo-vestibular integration for self-motion perception in patients with unilateral vestibular loss

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steven Gale

Unilateral vestibular loss (UVL) is accompanied by deficits in processing of visual and vestibular self-motion cues. The present study examined whether multisensory integration of these two types of information is, nevertheless, intact in such patients. Pa ...

The Mutual Information in Random Linear Estimation Beyond i.i.d. Matrices

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Florent Gérard Krzakala

There has been definite progress recently in proving the variational single-letter formula given by the heuristic replica method for various estimation problems. In particular, the replica formula for the mutual information in the case of noisy linear esti ...

An original valveless artificial heart providing pulsatile flow tested in mock circulatory loops

François Avellan, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Jonathan Emery

Purpose: We present the test bench results of a valveless total artificial heart that is potentially compatible with the pediatric population. Methods: The RollingHeart is a valveless volumetric pump generating pulsatile flow. It consists of a single spher ...

Geometric Optimization of a Reciprocal Floor-Framing System with Self-Weight and Area-Loading Considerations

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper explores the geometric optimization of a planar reciprocal frame (RF) floor framing structure, focusing on the triangular topology. The structural performance of the frames is computed and plotted against the geometric parameters for various loa ...

Simple and easily controllable parabolic-shaped microlenses printed on polymeric mesas

Jürgen Brugger, Joo Yeon Kim, Cristina Martin Olmos

A simple and easy shape-controllable approach is demonstrated for the fabrication of parabolic-shaped polymer microlenses (mu-lenses), which are widely used in bio-imaging systems such as microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems for improving the image quali ...

Automatically calibrating the viewing direction of optic-flow sensors

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod

Because of their low weight, cost and energy consumption, optic-flow sensors attract growing interest in robotics for tasks such as self-motion estimation or depth measurement. Most applications require a large number of these sensors, which involves a fai ...

Spinal and Supraspinal Control of the Direction of Stepping during Locomotion

Pavel Musienko

Most bipeds and quadrupeds, in addition to forward walking, are also capable of backward and sideward walking. The direction of walking is determined by the direction of stepping movements of individual limbs in relation to the front-to-rear body axis. Our ...

l1 Regularized Super-resolution From Unregistered Omnidirectional Images

Pascal Frossard, Zafer Arican

In this paper, we address the problemof super-resolution from multiple low-resolution omnidirectional images with inexact registration. Such a problem is typically encountered in omnidirectional vision scenarios with reduced resolution sensors in imperfect ...

Super-resolution from unregistered omnidirectional images

Pascal Frossard, Zafer Arican

This paper addresses the problem of super- resolution from low resolution spherical images that are not perfectly registered. Such a problem is typically en- countered in omnidirectional vision scenarios with re- duced resolution sensors in imperfect setti ...

Inter-machine comparison of intrinsic toroidal rotation in tokamaks

Basil Duval, Antoine Pochelon, Andrea Scarabosio, Alessandro Bortolon

Parametric scalings of the intrinsic (spontaneous, with no external momentum input) toroidal rotation observed on a large number of tokamaks have been combined with an eye towards revealing the underlying mechanism(s) and extrapolation to future devices. T ...

Image alignment with rotation manifolds built on sparse geometric expansions

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

In this paper we discuss the problem of alignment of patterns under arbitrary rotation. When a generic image pattern is geometrically transformed, it typically spans a (possibly nonlinear) manifold in a high dimensional space. When the pattern of interest ...

Rotation-Invariant Texture Retrieval with Gaussianized Steerable Pyramids

This paper presents a novel rotation-invariant image retrieval scheme based on a transformation of the texture information via a steerable pyramid. First, we fit the distribution of the subband coefficients using a joint alpha-stable sub-Gaussian model to ...

Surgical navigation system

Charles Baur

The invention relates to a surgical navigation system, comprising a microscope to which a 3D measuring apparatus is rigidly fixed, for localising objects within the field of operation. Markers are fixed to the objects the position of which is desirable to ...
