Since the founding of IMES in 1992, we have successfully completed several hundred projects and collaborated with a large number of companies. The work we have carried out ranges from small consulting assignments to the development of a new generic platform for an entire product range of a medium-sized company. We conduct research and apply it in practice. In doing so, we constantly strengthen our areas of expertise and expand our know-how.
A successful project is usually built on several components. At IMES, we have many of these building blocks for success at our disposal. On one hand, our broad experience helps us. On the other hand, the interdisciplinary environment of OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences supports us. For some projects, our state-of-the-art infrastructure was crucial. Our strong network is also significant. Finally, we can offer our clients various funding options.
A look at our projects reveals the range of our services. Do you have any questions? We look forward to hearing from you.
A demonstrator for acoustic levitation and control of the levitating particles has been developed at IMES. Levitation has been achieved by generating standing ultrasonic waves in between two speaker arrays.
Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) has become an important tool in biological research and medical diagnostics. It provides quantitative insights into molecular processes in living organisms and is used to analyze cancer cells.
IMES has developed a new FPGA-based ADC that requires no external components, giving it high flexibility.
For testing purposes, troubleshooting and data analysis, high-speed FPGA designs require external hardware, such as signal generators and oscilloscopes during their developement. In order to maintain sufficient signal quality, coaxial cables must be used as a connection. To route the signals from the FPGA directly to the…
In the future, video signals will be transmitted over standard HDMI2.1 cables. Longer HDMI cable distances (over 10m) will rely on Active Optical Cables (AOC). In collaboration with the Institute for Microelectronics, Embedded Systems and Sensors (IMES), Tetra Semiconductors Ltd. has successfully integrated patented electronics…
A very cost effective sensor based on PCB coils has been developed. The electronic circuit of the sensor contains a driver circuit and an amplifier circuit. The sensor data is analyzed by a STM32 MCU and sent to a Raspberry Pi via UART.
