Actionnement électriques de fluides dédiés aux microsystèmes

Recent advances in microfabrication, and the apparent neces-sity of miniaturizing detection and diagnostic systems has led to the emer-gence of a new research field called lab-on-chip, which are mostly workingwith fluids. Liquids actuations at the micrometer scale allow the develop-ment of many new methods based on electric field and potential. Electro-wetting has been widel...

Optimisation d'un service d'autopartage de véhicules électriques

In the so called "one way" electric carsharing system, users can take a car at a station, use and leave it at another station. This process usually leads to a situation where some stations are full while others are empty. The system is especially compelling because vehicles are electrical and a minimal charging time is required. Therefore, a balanced system requires the optimal distribution of ...

Conception simultanée de systèmes électriques hétérogènes par algorithmes évolutionnaires multicritères. Applications à l'optimisation de chaînes de traction pour véhicules électriques

In this paper, evolutionary algorithms are applied to the multiobjective optimization of a traction system for electrical vehicles. First of all, the concept of integrated design of heterogeneous systems in electrical engineering is defined and analyzed. The optimization problems resulting from this approach are rather complex and evolutionary algorithms seem to be suitable to provide interesti...

Curating performance installations

In this paper we will examine the use of the digital screen display as a primary form of accessing information within the museum context. We will argue that this mode of dissemination, achieved primarily through a Graphic User Interface (GUI) though highly efficient in providing contextual support, can be detrimental to a wider sense of social interaction and engagement between visitors, both o...
