ISIFC - Dual Biomedical Engineering School

International audienceThe Superior Institute for Biomedical Engineering (ISIFC), created in 2001, is part of the Franche-Comte University and is accredited by the French Ministry of National Education. Its originality lies in its innovative course of studies, which trains engineers in the scientific and medical fields to get both competencies. The Institute therefore collaborates with the University Hospital Centre of Besancon (CHU), biomedical companies and National Research Centres (CNRS and INSERM). The dual expertise trainees will have acquired at the end of their 3 years course covers medical and biological skills, scientific and Technical expertises. ISIFC engineers answer to manufacturer needs for skilled scientific and technical staff in instrumentation and techniques adapted to diagnosis, therapeutics and medical control, as well as the needs of potential users for biomedical devices, whether they are doctors, hospital staff, patients, laboratories, etc... Both the skills and the knowledge acquired by an ISIFC engineer will enable him/her to fulfil functions of study, research and development in the industrial sector

Virtual firm as a role-playing tool for biomedical education

International audienceThe paper describes design of a role-playing tool based on the experience of the practice firm which allows participants to obtain relevant and practical on-the-job experience. The students played the roles of the employees and the applicants for vacant positions at the virtual firm-a small business specialized in biomedical sector-founded to design the demonstration vehicle for a biomedical device. We found that this innovative concept may be used to improve the young engineers performance and to facilitate their post-graduate integration

RF-interferences generate chaotic GHz FM - Carrier for communications

International audienceFollowing the principle of a highly nonlinear delay oscillator, we demonstrate the generation of an RF chaotic frequency modulated carrier, which could be used in chaos based communication systems. The nonlinear process is provided by the transfer function of an RF interferometer, modulating the amplitude of an FM signal; for this purpose, the path difference required for the interference process, as well as a long delay required for complex chaotic oscillation, are designed through the use of optical fibers. The RF signal used to produce interferences is transposed in the optical domain by a direct laser modulation with the gigahertz chaotic FM signal. The interferences is obtained at fiber outputs terminated by photodiodes for backconversion of the RF signal into the electrical domain. Experimental results reporting the particular dynamical behavior of the nonlinear delay RF oscillator are presented, and also discussed in terms of chaos communication applications
