We explored the mechanisms underlying microglia cell-carbon nanotube interactions in order to investigate whether electrical properties of Carbon-Nanotubes (CNTs) could affect microglia brain cells function and phenotype. We analyzed the effects induced by highly electro-conductive Multi-Walled-Carbon-Nanotubes (a-MWCNTs), on microglia cells from r...
This paper describes a new methodology of construction of the internal activity block of an ICEM-CE model of an FPGA based on a predictive approach using the estimation tools of the dynamic power and the static timing proposed by the manufacturer of the integrated circuit.
Depuis 2011, la réévaluation de plus d’une vingtaine de mesures de flux de neutrinos de réacteur mesurés à courtes distances suggère la présence d’un déficit de 7 % par rapport aux prédictions. Cette anomalie est statistiquement significative à environ 3 sigmas, tout comme une autre anomalie similaire correspondant à l’observation d’un déficit de n...
Power converters will only be effectively used in future aircrafts if they are compact, efficient and reliable. All these aspects can be improved by the use of disruptive technology such as the so-called Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors made of Silicon Carbide (SiC) or Gallium Nitride (GaN). These components can switch much faster than their silic...
Cet article s'intéresse aux circuits de commande évolués pour les composants de type MOSFET ouIGBT utilisés en électronique de puissance. Il aborde en détail, par une approche très pragmatique etproche de l'application, les méthodes de sécurisation et de protection des composants de puissance àsemi-conducteur. Il est construit autour de quatre part...
Electrical behavior of normally-off GaN power transistors under heavy ion stress radiation is presented based on 2D-TCAD numerical simulation in order to better understand the mechanism of Single Event Effects (SEE) in these devices.
The valence and conduction bands of a thin film of tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) are investi-gated by direct and inverse photoemission as well as by comparison to density functional theory (DFT)calculations. By projecting the electronic eigenfunctions onto the molecular framework it was possibleto interpret the origin of each spectroscopic f...
An overall summary of the Institute of Technology IRT Saint Exupery MDA-MDO project (Multi-Disciplinary Analysis - Multidisciplinary Design Optimization) is presented. The aim of the project is to develop efficient capabilities (methods, tools and a software platform) to enable industrial deployment of MDO methods in industry. At IRT Saint Exupery,...
L’imagerie constitue un axe majeur de l’exploration de l’univers et de la Terre depuis l’espace, que l’on se trouve dans le domaine du visible ou non. Ainsi dans le domaine spatial, les données sont le plus souvent récupérées par un capteur CCD (Charge-Coupled Device, ou Dispositif à Transfert de Charge (DTC)) qui fournit des tensions analogiques v...
This paper presents the design and optimization of power inductors for three-phase high-power-density inverters to be used in aircraft applications. The inductor’s geometric parameters, magnetic properties, core material selection, core and copper losses in addition to temperature calculations are taken into account to meet the low losses and high ...
