Microscalpel ultrasonique pour des interventions médicales robotique et de haute précision

AGP

Role: Collaborator

Requérant(e)s: Dispositifs médicaux

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : Ultrasonic cutting instruments are widely used in various fields of surgery including e.g. peripheral vascular surgery; colorectal surgery; bariatric surgery, breast surgery; general and visceral surgery. Their precise control over coagulation and cutting allows to limit the tissue damage causing thermal spread and qualifies them as efficient and safe surgical tool. However, their use is restricted to certain surgery fields due to the size, weight and costs of the current systems. In order make this technology accessible in e.g. Cranio'Maxillofacial (CMF) surgery for specific tumor interventions, an ultrasonic Microscalpel with small form factor for high'precision surgery will be developed and characterized by using a concept for quasi 2'dimensional ultrasonic instrument based on a planar Ti'horn. The mechanical design of the novel Microscalpel will be developed and optimized with respect to high tip displacement (displacement of the tip > 50 'm) and reliability by using flat, quasi 2'D Ti horns, low aspect ratios as well as low driving voltages. In addition, the scalpel will be designed to satisfy the ergonomic and functional constraints for use in CMF surgery. In order to be able to drive the first functional demonstrators, an electronics for piezo supply voltages of up to +'150V will be developed. The control of the tip resonant motion will be realized digitally, to improve functionality (robustness vs. parameter variations, automatic gain setting) as compared to state'of'the'art analog scalpel control. A hermetic housing for the Microscalpel will be developed and optimized for human factor studies using additive manufacturing. Finally, using bench tests, the Microscalpel will be characterized using Laser Doppler Vibrometry. The relevant standards will be identified and implemented into the bench tests

EcoSwissMade - Projet PrintCell Fabrication par impression 3D d'une pile à combustible à oxyde solide

AGP

Role: Collaborator

Requérant(e)s: VS - Institut Systèmes industriels, Bidaux Jacques-Eric, VS - Institut Systèmes industriels

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : Le but de ce projet est de réaliser intégralement par impression 3D les trois composants principaux d'une pile à combustible à oxyde solide (SOFC pour Solid Oxyde Fuel Cell) que sont la cathode, l'électrolyte et l'anode. L'ensemble de ces trois éléments est appelés PEN (Positive electrode-Electrolyte-Negative electrode). La PEN est le coeur de la pile à combustible où se déroule la réaction chimique qui, en combinant le gaz combustible à l'oxygène de l'air, fournit le courant électrique. Les composants de la PEN ont des fonctions, des morphologies et des compositions différentes mais sont tous généralement produits à partir de poudres par pressage, tape casting, sprayage ou pulvérisation cathodique. Les PEN sont ensuite empilés de manière à augmenter la puissance fournie par la SOFC. Les composants des SOFC actuellement disponibles sur le marché, sont produit séparément et à l'aide de technologies différentes, ce qui nécessite un assemblage final. Ce projet permettra d'améliorer l'efficience de ce procédé de fabrication et sa flexibilité. Des piles de tailles et donc de puissances différentes pourraient être fabriquées à l'aide de la même imprimante. Cela permettrait à un même produit d'être décliné en fonction de l'application visée. Finalement, l'impression 3D permet d'envisager des designs novateurs intégrant des fonctionnalités directement aux électrodes comme par exemple : ' de la porosité contrôlée pour augmenter la densité de puissance ' des canaux pour faire circuler les gaz consommés et produits ' des grilles de renforts pour supporter les contraintes thermiques Le projet vise à réaliser une PEN fonctionnelle par impression 3D, en un seul cycle d'impression et un seul cycle de frittage. La PEN sera testée électrochimiquement et sa puissance sera mesurée.

Densification and shaping of pure Cu-BTC powders using a solid-state chemical transformation

Scientific paper ArODES

Summary:

MOFs are a class of porous crystalline materials whose unique properties have led to applicability in several fields ranging from gas adsorption to drug delivery. Despite their high potential, MOFs are usually found as fine powders, a property that can limit their use in industrial applications. Here, a novel approach is proposed to form densified Cu-MOF (Cu-BTC) powders and monoliths using 1,2-ethanedisulfonic acid (EDSA) as a densification agent. A MOF/EDSA mixture was heated to ∼150 °C; the molten EDSA not only promotes the growth of larger MOF crystallites, but also stimulates condensation reactions between the carboxylate-based MOF ligands, further binding the particles together. When this reaction was done in a stainless-steel die under pressure MOF-based monoliths could also be formed. Notably, using this approach, the MOF had a higher density, significantly improving the volumetric CO2 adsorption capacity. We believe this contribution provides the basis for future work wherein the intrinsic MOF particle surfaces can be selectively engineered to improve their properties towards shaping for industrial applications.

Biomass screening for syngas production by flash photopyrolysis

Scientific paper ArODES

RSC Advances, 2024, 14, 17, 11706-11714

Summary:

A few seconds flash photopyrolysis is used as efficient screening tool for the investigation of selected biomass in producing syngas, hydrogen and biochar. This innovative approach allowed rapid pyrolysis of the biomass, which was followed by a precise gas analysis and quantification, using Mass Spectrometry (MS). The analysis of the gas composition from three distinct biomass wastes in this study provides new insights into their thermochemical characteristics, expanding thus our knowledge of the potential of the selected biomass resources for the production of carbon, syngas, and/or hydrogen-rich gas production. This enhanced characterization revealed the potential of biomass transformation in contributing to innovative green energy sustainable solutions.

Hydrogen production by waste tire recycling by photo-pyrolysis

Summary:

Waste tires are a major environmental concern due to their non-degradable nature and the large area occupied by them in landfills worldwide. Several recycling processes have been applied to minimize the high amount of waste tire disposal; in particular, pyrolysis has gained more attention since it can minimize the emission of toxic gases. In this study, we present a new process for treating waste tires called “photo-pyrolysis”. End-of-life tires, in the form of powder (100–200 μm) and/or small shreds, were converted in a few seconds (2.4 to 20 s), by using high-intensity flash light irradiation from a xenon lamp, into valuable products such as tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) and syngas, and a carbon-rich solid residue. 44 wt% was recovered as a solid of which 32.3 wt% was related to carbon and 11.7 wt% to the metals and inorganic fillers. The next 36 wt% was attributed to a mixture of gases (mainly hydrogen, ethylene, and methane) and the remaining 20 wt% was produced as a liquid fraction (TPO). Therefore, photo-pyrolysis is proposed as a new and eco-friendly strategy for recycling end-of-life tires, which can be industrialized with continuous processing systems, and used not only for tire recycling but also for other solid organic wastes.

3D printing of cellulose by solvent on binder jetting

Conference ArODES

Mathieu Soutrenon, Gabriel Billato, Fritz Bircher, Thomas Geiger

Proceedings of NIP & Digital Fabrication Conference, Printing for Fabrication, materials, applications, and process, 23-27 September 2018, Dresden, Germany

Link to the conference

Summary:

This project aims to 3D print wood by products. The printed parts are only made of cellulosic derivatives. The proposed process is powder based. Parts are made of semi-crystalline cellulose mixed with ethylcellulose (50/50). Similarly to binder jetting, successive layers of this mixture are spread out. Using an industrial inkjet print head from Fujifilm-Dimatix, isopropanol is selectively deposited on each of the powder layers. Isopropanol dissolve the ethyl cellulose, binding the cellulose particles together. The produced parts are brittle and require a post-treatment. A dedicated printer was built for this project. Ongoing research is done on optimizing of the layer formation and drying to increase mechanical properties.
