In this paper, we describe new vision chip architecture, which enables simultaneous output of multi-target positions. This architecture selects targets that don’t overlap at each other in the direction of the column and extracts the target positions simultaneously. Thanks to this simultaneous output, the vision chip based on the architecture can obtain many target positions at high-speed. On th...

We present circular architecture bioimplant strain sensors that facilitate a strong resonance frequency shift with mechanical deformation. The clinical application area of these sensors is for in vivo assessment of bone fractures. Using a rectangular geometry, we obtain a resonance shift of 330 MHz for a single device and 170 MHz for its triplet configuration (with three side-by-side resonators...

We have recently developed a novel microfluidic system based on self-assembled magnetic particles for cell sorting. This device is able to capture very rare cells, such as circulating tumour cells (CTC), in biological samples (blood, bone marrow). The captured cells can be analysed by bright field and fluorescence microscopy at high magnification [1]. We are now interested in new microfabricati...

In many genomic studies, one works with genome-positiondependent data, e.g., ChIP-chip or ChIP-Seq scores. Using conventional tools, it can be difficult to get a good feel for the data, especially the distribution of features. This article argues that the socalled Hilbert-curve visualisation can complement genome browsers and help to get further insights into the structure of one’s data. This i...
