(Valonia

imaged (Figure 3). This validated the
systems capability to obtain additional
contrast on biological samples due to the
fluorescence lifetime. The promising results
demonstrated the complementary nature of
the two techniques enhancing the functional
imaging capabilities of OCT and open up
new perspectives in biomedical imaging.

Motivation
Kumemura et al. have demonstrated the
isolation and trapping of a single double
stranded DNA molecule in a microfluidic chip
[1]. However, the detection of DNA molecule
was achieved by fluorescent imaging. The
purpose of this project was to develop a
microfluidic chip capable of performing this
detection electrically in order to further
automate and enhance the reproducibility of
these experiments.
Working principle and fabrication
The resistive-pulse detection method (Coulter
counter principle) has been implemented in a
miniaturized fluidic device (Fig. 1). The
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, containing a nanochannel (down to 200 200 nm2
cross-section) and large microstructures, was
obtained by moulding. The master was
fabricated by electron-beam direct writing
(nanostructures) and SU-8 photolithography
(high aspect ratio microstructures).
PDMS
Tested solution
Nanochanel
Characterization
When a bead goes through the nanochannel,
the resulting change of resistance can be
detected with a Current Amplifier. An
example of the typical measurements obtained
with this setup is illustrated in Fig. 3.

Afin de caracteriser experimentalement leurs performances, une premi`ere serie de mesures de calibration a pu e tre effectuee dans lentreprise. Les
resultats obtenus sont positifs. Les trois methodes
de fabrication poss`edent les performances techniques necessaires pour garantir la precision de
resolution defini dans le cahier des charges. De
plus, les mires realisees permettent une calibration
sous trois e clairages differents, et ont un cout de fabrication environ 10 fois inferieur a` celui propose
dans le cahier des charges. Cependant, des mesures
supplementaires, notamment sur une machine de
controle de composants, doivent e tre effectuees afin
de guider notre choix sur lun ou lautre des ces
trois types de mires.

Introduction
LPM is currently developing an implantable
glucose biosensor that would be an
alternative to painful finger pricking
operation performed several times a day by
diabetic patients in order to determine the
exact amount of insulin they should take.
The capsule contains a sensitive liquid
whose viscosity changes straightforwardly
with the variation of the concentration of
glucose that permeates from the surrounding
tissue interstitial fluid through a selective
nanoporous membrane. This viscosity can
then be measured by a rotating magnet
immersed in this liquid. The contact less
drive is done by a second magnet inside of
the control unit.
Drive Hall sensor
Control unit
Simplified system
Static tests (magnet rotation at a constant
speed) are performed on several Hall sensors
in order to analyse their global behaviour.
The sensors output variations along the 5
DOF (in term of amplitude, phase shift,
frequency) are compared through a
MATLAB script.
Preliminary tests on the coupling effects are
made using a two drive magnets.
Interstitial fluid
Capsule
Skin
Results
The actual drive magnet and sensor have a
workspace delimitation that corresponds well
to
the
sensor
manufacturer
recommendations. The positioning of the
drive in it is not critical for the
manufacturing process of the biosensor.
Project Objectives
The drive magnet has been evaluated to
work with a particularly Hall sensor, but this
association has never been tested before in
final conditions. The aim of this project is to
confirm that the biosensor will be
operational within the actual conditions and
what are the exact tolerances in the
placement and use of these elements.
Future work
Dynamic tests (implementation of speed
profiles) must be performed in order to
create a complete and more realistic
simulation of the biosensor mechanism.

Specifications
The goal of this project is to develop and build
an electric motor to drive the inertia wheel of
the SwissCube satellite. This system should
provide angular stability to the satellite and
allow its control. The operational speeds range
from 5000 to 11 000 [rpm]. The main
constraints are the mass, 32 [g], and the
average available power, 100 [mW] (including
the electronics, developed in another project).
Design
After selecting the motor type, its parameters
have been optimized by the means of a nonlineal optimization program, given our
constraints. The drives parameters have been
validated using finite elements.

Motivation
The determination of biomass activity in
oceans can be determined by analyzing the
concentration of intracellular microbial
adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is done
with the luciferin-luciferase bioluminescent
assay (LL), which gives a light intensity
function of ATP concentration. The goal of
this thesis is to design and evaluate a
microchannel device and to characterize an
online calibration method that operates in situ
based on caged-ATP. Therefore, no external
sensors are required for calibration.
Calibration principle
The microchannel device consists of three
inlets. A planar spiral shaped inlet for cagedATP is covered with a high power UV-LED.
The two other inlets are for water sample and
LL. The three flows are mixed by diffusion in
a 2m long spiral channel for bioluminescent
reaction. The light is measured with a
photomultiplier tube.

Abstract
Swarm intelligence has been a growing area
of research these past few years due to its
many possible applications, such as for
victim search and rescue or in the military
domain. This work deals with two problems
in this field: collective motion stabilization
(or flocking control) and recovery strategies.
The control laws for collective motion that
have been developed in this work are based
on the novel one-vehicle controller
described
in
Velocity
Scheduling
Controller for a Nonholonomic Mobile
Robot: Theoretical and Experimental
Results, which can be used for stabilization
or for trajectory tracking.
This controller has been generalized to
address the flocking problem, which refers
to having multiple agents with similar
control laws follow a trajectory in a
predefined formation. Several collective
motion
stabilization
techniques
are
presented, with either a virtual or a real
leader.

The first step of the project is to identify the
video codec system for the selected encoding
parameters.
Then a perception model is built using
subjective tests methodology, where subjects
are asked to evaluate their perception of the
video stream for several encoding parameters.
The perception model corresponds to an
Optimal Adaptation Path (OAP) in the
parameters space (cf. Figure 2). The model
proposed is developed for the chemical plant
context.
Finally a closed-loop control system, which
takes advantage of the perception model, is
proposed to control the codec bit rate by
modifying the frame rate and quality
parameters.
The
controller
aims
at
compensating modeling error and at rejecting
video perturbations generated by the video
content itself.
