Interacting with digital devices has become part of daily life, whether in consumer products, services, or industrial applications. Most display-based devices provide user interactivity through touch sensing via a touch panel. As the number of device features increases, it demands an ... En savoir plus
Plastic packages, coated with Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) can provide an economic and versatile protection to the integrated circuits (IC) from mechanical damage. A major drawback of molded packages is that they are not hermetic and are prone to absorb moisture from external ... En savoir plus
According to a World Health Organization report, more than 360 million people suffer from hearing loss [1]. The majority of patients can usually be fitted with conventional hearing aids. These devices are subject to continuous further development and optimization - connecting the ... En savoir plus
During semiconductor manufacturing, finished silicon microchips need to be released from a carrier tape they stick to by an adhesive. This is done by vacuum forces that (a) hold the chip flat from above and (b) pull the tape off from the chip underside. Sounds simple, but is very tricky ... En savoir plus
The EPFLoop team from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has developed a capsule thanks to which it achieved 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the EPFLoop team has been selected again to participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX ... En savoir plus
The EPFLoop team from Lausanne last year won the 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the team will participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX facilities California. Reliability of the different subsystems constituting the pod is a key point. ... En savoir plus
The hyperthermia therapy (HT), i.e. an increase of the body tissues temperature to 39-43 °C caused by the exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (like radiofrequency or microwaves), has been demonstrated to sensitize tumours to radiotherapy and chemotherapy (i.e. cancer ...

Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) is viewed as a viable option to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. In particular, CO2 injection into deep saline formations (DSF) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the last decade, including pilot and demonstration projects [Reiner ...

Flexible electronic devices are very sensitive against the ingress of oxygen and water vapor from the atmosphere and therefore have to be protected by encapsulation with high barrier films. Such films contain several polymeric or inorganic layers which are deposited from the liquid or ... En savoir plus
Scientists and engineers have been designing and developing computational tools for the numerical simulation of heat transfer processes involving non-conventional heating or cooling effects for several years. Caloric effects rely on temperature variations upon external stimuli, e.g. ... En savoir plus
