All IP Networks for the FutuRe Internet of Smart Ob- jects – IRIS
Smart Objects and the Internet of Things provide unparalleled means to connect the physical world with the digital world, enabling important applications such as Smart Infrastructures or Smart Cities. But existing systems are typically proprietary and tailored to one specific application, which s
BROADBAND ENERGY SCAVENGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR MICRO ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS – BESTMEMS
The spreading of wireless sensors has raised the issue of power supply. While chemical batteries are most common solution, they feature severe limitations in confined environments and/or under harsh operating conditions. As an example, Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) usually feature lifespan
INferring Anomalous Diffusions in LIving Cells from single particle tracking experiments – INADILIC
The project aims at gathering physical, biological and statistical expertise to build a new protocol for reliable inference. On one hand, this protocol will be based on a better understanding of the probability distributions of inferred quantities for different types of anomalous diffusion to improv
Online Security Management and Reliability Toolkit for Water Distribution Networks – SMaRT-OnlineWDN
Water distribution Networks (WDNs) are critical infrastructures that are exposed to deliberate or accidental contamination. Until now, no monitoring system is capable of protecting a WDN in real time. In the immediate future water service utilities that are installing water quantity and quality sens
Time in the Wild: Mastering time during real world navigation – WildTimes
Scientific Objective & Working Hypotheses 1: Distortions of subjective time perception as a function of the moments in real-time transportation. Our first objective will be dedicated to survey the un-/under-explored real-life experience of time distortions. Scientific Objective & Working Hypothese
CentrifugAl iNstabilities and Turbulence in plAsmas: from LaboratOry plasmas to JUPiter's magnetospherE – CANTALOUPE
The rotation of magnetized plasmas, ubiquitous in the universe and technological applications, is known to lead to centrifugal instabilities and ultimately to an intense cross-field turbulent transport. In this proposal, we will address open issues raised by recent observations of centrifugally unst
Highly sensitive scanning probes for nanoscale thermal microscopy – TIPTOP
The TIPTOP project is a 4-year collaborative project aiming at developing a new resistive SThM probe for nanoscale quantitative thermal measurement, demonstrating the capabilities of the new technique on application-oriented micro and nanostructured materials and systems, developing an optimized tec
Design of novel high strength ultrafine grain Al alloys via spinodal decomposition – SpinodalDesign
The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in transport - automobiles, aeronautics - makes it essential to develop light alloys with mechanical properties beyond those achieved by traditional processes. The objective of the SpinodalDesign project is to design such aluminum-based alloys, by combinin
Microtubule lattice renewal organizes the neuron – MicRON
A unique cytoskeletal architecture allows neurons to establish a complex and polarized arborization, and to maintain it for decades while ensuring the adaptation necessary for cognitive processes. Microtubules are dynamic polymers of tubulin that form tracks for the long-range transport of neuronal
Thermochemical energy storage for isolated locations, mobility and waste heat recovery – ESSOR
The global increase in demand for raw materials and energy is currently a source of geopolitical concerns and tensions, and this is leading governments and industries to secure their resources and supplies. This observation leads companies and also the defense sector to secure operational supply by
