Ultrasound-actuated microfluidic flow focusing allows control of bubble size and production rate

Sarah Cleve, Tim Segers, Michel Versluis, Guillaume Lajoinie

Microfluidic flow focusing is a promising tool for the creation of monodisperse microbubbles, such as ultrasound contrast agents. However, industrial-scale bubble production remains elusive due to a lack of control over bubble size and production rate in devices with paralellized flow-focusing…

Using Synapse Saturation in Spiking Neural Networks for Wake Up Receivers in Internet of Things Networks

Guillaume Marthe, Claire Goursaud, Laurent Clavier

Energy consumption remains a predominant constraint in numerous Internet of Things (IoT) applications, as microcontrollers typically exhibit excessively high power consumption. To address this issue, novel circuit designs have been introduced, and the utilization of spiking neurons and analog…

RAVID: Retrieval-Augmented Visual Detection: A Knowledge-Driven Approach for AI-Generated Image Identification

Mamadou Keita, Wassim Hamidouche, Hessen Bougueffa Eutamene, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Abdenour Hadid

In this paper, we introduce RAVID, the first framework for AI-generated image detection that leverages visual retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). While RAG methods have shown promise in mitigating factual inaccuracies in foundation models, they have primarily focused on text, leaving visual…
