Hardware Architecture and Cutting-Edge Assembly Process of a Tiny Curved Compound Eye

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Géraud L'Eplattenier

The demand for bendable sensors increases constantly in the challenging field of soft and micro-scale robotics. We present here, in more detail, the flexible, functional, insect-inspired curved artificial compound eye (CurvACE) that was previously introduc ...

Evidence for major mergers of galaxies at 2 less than or similar to z < 4 in the VVDS and VUDS surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Context. The mass assembly of galaxies can proceed through different physical processes. Here we report on the spectroscopic identification of close physical pairs of galaxies at redshifts 2 less than or similar to z < 4 and discuss the impact of major mer ...

Mechanical form-Finding of the Timber Fabric Structures with Dynamic Relaxation Method

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei, Olivier Baverel

Timber Fabric structures (TFS) initiate from a correspondence between textile principles and recent industrial developments in producing cross laminated timber panels. Several individual timber strips are interlaced according to a pattern and result in an ...

Ant colony optimization for the single model U-type assembly line balancing problem

Arda Alp

An assembly line is a production line in which units move continuously through a sequence of stations. The assembly line balancing problem is defined as the allocation of tasks to an ordered sequence of stations subject to precedence constraints with the o ...

A decision making tool for reconfigurable assembly lines EUPASS project

Jacques Jacot, Sandra Koelemeijer Chollet

A decision making tool is proposed to evaluate assembly costs of micro-products (< 1 dm(3)) and to compare different assembly strategies for a given product or product family. The tool takes into account equipment costs as well as running costs, for manual ...

Mid1p/anillin and the septation initiation network orchestrate contractile ring assembly for cytokinesis

Viesturs Simanis

In both animal cells and fungi, cytokinesis proceeds via a contractile actomyosin ring (CAR). Many CAR components and regulators are evolutionarily conserved. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the spatial cue for cytokinesis is provided by Mid1p/Anillin, where ...

When manufacturing capability exceeds control capability: The paradox of high precision products, or is it possible to assemble functional products out of components we are unable to measure?

Jacques Jacot, Fabien Bourgeois, Sandra Koelemeijer Chollet

Sorting and mating is a very common practice in high precision manufacturing, as well in the watch industry, biomedical or automotive industry. This strategy helps to increase the assembly yield, but is costly and time-consuming. The question is, when is i ...

FEM-MILL: a finite element based 3D transient milling simulation environment for process plan verification and optimization

Jitender Kumar Rai

The rigid body motion of thin walled parts and their elastic-plastic deformations induced during high speed milling are the main root causes of part geometrical and dimensional variabilities; these are governed mainly from the choice of process plan parame ...

Vers la maîtrise de la qualité des assemblages de précision

Fabien Bourgeois

In several industrial case studies, we put in evidence that microsystem manufacturing costs skyrocket because of low yields. Sometimes product functionalities are badly defined ; sometimes metrology systems, in spite of their high cost, happen not to measu ...
