2012 ACTIVITY REPORT
CEA LIST: Excellence
in digital advancements
for industry
by Karine Gosse, Director, CEA LIST
At CEA LIST, we leverage recognized
expertise in digital systems design to develop
leading‑edge technological advancements
for our industrial partners. Our strategy focuses
on four main pillars.
1. Funnelling research
resources to three
key technology fields
Our research and technology development activities
are divided into three fields: advanced manufacturing,
embedded systems, and ambient intelligence. By fun­
nelling resources to these three fields, we have been able
to achieve the critical mass required for viable long-term
investment, high-level partnerships, and world-class
results.
Our research and investment strategy – the CEA LIST
technological foundation – is based on roadmaps develo­
ped in concert with international-calibre educational
institutions. Our research programs can sometimes have
lifespans of a decade or more.
At the same time, we work to keep pace with rapidlychanging markets and evolving manufacturer needs,
running short-term development programs that drive
our successful industrial partnerships.
2. Using technology
platforms to pool
equipment and developments
CEA LIST boasts several technology platforms with
top-notch equipment. These platforms are dedicated
to research partnerships with academic or industrial
organizations. Pooling equipment and resources pro­
vides our partners with access to highly specialized
equipment and allows them to leverage our in-house
knowledge.
The role of the technology platforms is to facilitate and
speed innovation by letting researchers develop more
complete solutions, integrate technology bricks, and test
advanced systems. All of these characteristics make the
platforms a perfect match for open innovation, a strategy
more and more manufacturers have adopted.
Companies of all sizes (including SMEs) and from all
industries are eligible to use our platforms. Small
businesses in particular can benefit from CEA LIST’s
special programs suited to their unique needs (like
immediately-actionable results).
3. Forming long-term
partnerships with manufac­
turers and creating start-ups
We devote substantial resources to major, long-term
industrial partnerships with a capacity to shape our
research. These partnerships are often multi-year and
address various topics.
Manufacturers of all sizes, from SMEs to large corpo­
rations, can choose from three types of partnerships:
cooperative projects (either limited to France or Europewide), bilateral agreements, and joint labs.
Finally, certain research projects can result in the
creation of start-ups, most of which are led by the origi­
nal researchers. These start-ups bring value to the
manufacturing ecosystem and play a key role in bringing
new technologies from the lab to the factory. To date, we
have spun off 13 start-ups, 5 of which were created over
the past three years alone.
4. Gradually expand
into the French provinces
CEA LIST, based in the Greater Paris area, took steps to
further strengthen its relationships with manufacturers
in the French provinces in early 2013 with the launch
of CEA Tech branches in Nantes, in Bordeaux, and in
Toulouse. The goal is to make our research findings more
broadly available and help businesses in these regions
become more competitive through innovation.
CEA Tech regional branches have their own technologytransfer processes. Their application platforms give local
manufacturers access to technology bricks that are easy
to integrate into products to make them more powerful
and innovative in record time.
The regional branches can turn to CEA LIST laboratories
to meet local business’ more complex technology deve­
lopment needs; however, the regional branch offices
remain the primary point of contact for businesses in
their geographical area. Also see pages 36 and 37 ■

A year packed with innovation
manufacturi 2012 highlights
– Capme’up project was selected for funding under the
French government’s economic stimulus program.
The project, which also involves two other research
institutes, aims to help small and medium-sized
manufacturers implement the latest technological
advancements. At CEA LIST we are particularly active
in non-destructive testing, interactive robotics, and
system integration.
– We launched the Gerim2 innovation platform to
develop new non-destructive testing methods using
leading-edge equipment. Gerim2 will carry out highlevel scientific and industrial research spanning a broad
range of non-destructive testing technology.
– We developed an anthropomorphic robotic arm, called
Assist, to work seamlessly with a human operator.
Assist has seven degrees of freedom and effective anticollision features, and allows for reversible mechanical
transmission. Operators can precisely control its force
and position. Assist marks a new generation of robots
for flexible manufacturing.
R&D for advanced
manufacturing applications
Our groundbreaking research in advanced manufacturing covers:
– Interactive simulation and virtual reality, with a large
palette of tools and software for applications in:
– Product design and process testing
and optimi­zation
– Robot and cobot simulation
– Workstation and task analysis (for preventing
repetitive strain injuries)
– Training, pre-maintenance preparation, and crisis
management
“CEA LIST is taking advanced manufacturing even further
to help manufacturers become more responsive and agile
while boosting overall production quality and performance.”
– Non-destructive testing, with R&D divided into three
pillars:
– Our CIVA software with simulation, imaging, and
analysis capabilities for designing and optimizing
testing methods
– Novel testing systems (with sensors and electronic
processing), contact-free ultrasound systems,
adaptive ultrasound imaging, high-resolution and
high-sensitivity magnetic imaging, and multiresolution automated X-ray tomography
– Materials characterization methods for complex
geometries, defect characterization, and compos­
ite materials, for example
– Robotics and cobotics, with new, more agile produc­
tion tools that can work with humans and be precisely
controlled in terms of both force and position (e.g., ex­
oskeletons, collaborative robots, and teleoperation
systems), including vision systems.

TECHNOLOGY FOR INDUSTRY: manufacturing
R&D pipeline
Advanced manufacturing research at CEA LIST has lofty
goals. We aim to improve the agility, responsiveness, effi­
ciency, and performance of production units as a whole,
taking into account the close interactions among equip­
ment and software.
We are one of France’s only research centers to adopt such
a holistic approach. We look at the integration of pro­
duction systems into a coherent model, the simulation
of operator and equipment processes, and knowledge
management to leverage human experience and devel­
op innovative solutions.
Examples of our R&D projects include:
– Developing a functional model of a production plant
“system” to improve traceability and automation
– Improving the efficiency of production lines by optimiz­
ing operators’ positions and movements within a plant
– Making maintenance operators’ tasks easier with aug­
mented reality guidance systems

Security
2012 Highlights
– We developed a cybersecurity analysis system for test­
ing hypervisors, or software that allocates resources
and runs applications for cloud computing. The sys­
tem’s formal analysis strategy lets engineers specify
and test their desired cybersecurity configuration. Our
technology can be used for all cloud computing ser­
vices and has garnered interest from industry players
across the board.
– We developed an industrial neutron gamma discri­
mination system using low-cost plastic scintillators
for Saphymo, a French radiation detection and meas­
urement company. Our system solves the problem of
using Helium-3 – a rare isotope that jacks up the price
of He-3 detectors by a factor of ten – for nuclear radia­
tion portal monitors. Saphymo will manufacture and
commercialize the system through a licensing agree­
ment that covers two of our patents.
–W
e coordinated the EU’s Virtuoso project to develop
a toolkit that lets border control officers spot dangers
and strategic threats as early as possible. Under this
project we developed several new technologies (like
automatic text summaries) and two security-relat­
ed applications: one for extracting data on terrorist
activities and another for geolocating multimedia
resources.
– We launched the EU STANCE project to develop new
software analysis methods for cybersecurity applica­
tions. Our new methods track down security breaches
in all sensitive software layers, and cover the key pro­
gramming languages (like C, C++, and Java) used in
mainstream, industrial, and defense systems (see p. 25).
–W
e are also a partner in the EU’s E-Poolice project to
develop an environmental scanning system (websites,
summary reports, meeting minutes, etc.) to detect
even the slightest signs of organized crime.
R&D for security applications
Our security-focused R&D covers four complementary areas:
– Our traditional field of CBRN instrumentation systems
and sensors.
– Data mining tools for text and images, to extract se­
curity-related information from the Internet and
databases.
– Video surveillance with camera networks.
– Cybersecurity.
CBRN – We are developing new sensors and innovative
systems for detecting nuclear radiation (beta, gamma,
and neutron rays) in response to nuclear industry needs
and to prevent the proliferation of radioactive material.
IT security and cybersecurity – We have been at the
forefront of security analysis tools and methods for
more than 15 years. Our initial research looked at critical
real-time applications, especially for the nuclear and
transportation industries. Unlike conventional test­
ing-based R&D, our methods cover all possible behaviors
of an application. They provide mathematical proof that
an application has no security flaws. Our methods can
be combined with the verification procedures already in
use at companies and academic research labs.
In 2011 we expanded our research to include the detec­
tion of cybersecurity flaws; here we study methods for
ensuring confidentiality, data integrity, and service
uptime.
R&D PIPELINE
The issue of security is rapidly moving beyond IT systems
and to industrial systems (like manufacturing plants
and utility services), electronic services (like for bank­
ing and healthcare), and items we use on a daily basis

A year packed with innovation
Transportati 2012 Highlights
– We unveiled a new integrated toolchain for embedded
systems for Renault. The toolchain enables a continuous
process for the development, expression, and analysis of
system requirements for the computer-assisted design
of on-board components for automobiles using AUTO­
SAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) standard.
The goal is to boost both safety and performance.
– We launched two spin-offs focused on CEA LIST
technologies for the transportation market:
– Krono-Safe, which provides safety-oriented
operating systems and the associated design software
to help engineers develop embedded electronics that
meet stringent dependability standards; and
– WiN MS, which markets one-of-a-kind trouble­
shooting and monitoring technology for detecting and
locating defects in cable harnesses. Its first customers
are in the aerospace and rail industries.
R&D for transportation
applications
Embedded systems and software currently make up
around 30% of a vehicle’s cost – a figure set to rise in
the near future. In cars such systems not only provide
enhanced assistance and less driver intervention, they
also improve the safety of both drivers and passengers.
At CEA LIST, we team up with transportation industry
partners for joint R&D in three areas:
– Design and dependability of embedded systems –
This research aims to develop intrinsically-reliable
processors and system architectures that deliver high
performance at competitive costs. Drawing on our
nuclear-industry experience, we developed the PharOS
operating system to guarantee on-board system
dependability. We work mainly with Valeo and Delphi
on projects in this field.
– S ystems and software engineering – We have
developed two applications, Papyrus and Frama-C,
to make the process of designing software for the
transportation industry more reliable, notably for
Airbus. Both applications can enhance software
performance while slashing development time and
costs. Papyrus addresses the systems engineering
process through to the development of critical software.
Frama-C performs static analyses to predict all possible
behaviors of a piece of software and pinpoint securityrelated weaknesses.
– Human-machine interfaces and driver assistance – Our
work in this area focuses on vision systems, augmented
reality, and force-feedback haptic and tactile interfaces.
Our joint R&D projects with industry partners are
designed to meet our partners’ specifications, and extend
through to the creation of pre-industrial prototypes
(Technology Readiness Level 4–5).
“CEA LIST is supporting
manufacturers’
innovation strategies
in three main areas:
– embedded system
design and operating
safety,
– system and software
engineering tools, and
– human-machine
interfaces and driverassistance systems.”

R&D for energy applications
In the field of energy, we develop digital technology
for smart grid applications. Thanks to our sensors and
distributed management systems, electric utilities can
use software to optimize their grid infrastructure and
operations – encompassing power generation, storage,
distribution, and consumption points – in real time.
And our open, interconnected IT systems let utilities
incorporate new management services to boost both
energy efficiency and environmental performance.
We are now turning our focus to new technological
challenges, such as the need for:
– Increasingly sophisticated and distributed architecture
design and optimization software
“The CEA is developing digital technologies to enable
the rollout of tomorrow’s smart grids, and is currently
considering the feasibility of far-reaching R&D programs
on emerging technologies.”

Healthcare
2012 Highlights
– Automated systems for microbiology laboratories: Sev­
eral algorithms developed under our partnership with
bioMérieux, launched in 2010 with very-early-phase
R&D, have been incorporated into an end product. A
team of nine engineers worked to develop the algo­
rithms, which are used in image processing and spectra
analysis to automatically detect bacteria in Petri dishes.
– D igital technology for radiotherapy: We teamed
up with Elekta, a leading global supplier of cancer
treatment systems, to develop radiotherapy systems.
Initial work will look at using Monte Carlo simulations
to generate full dosimetric characterizations of Elekta’s
radiotherapy equipment (accelerators, multi-leaf
collimators, and electronic portal imaging devices). We
will also handle metrology and quality control.
– M edical dosimetry optimization: We also formed
a R&D partnership with esprimed, a provider of
radioprotection and medical imaging equipment, to
develop innovative systems for reducing the radiation
exposure of patients and medical personnel. Under
this partnership we will develop new tools and
software, and use virtual reality technology to come
up with simplified real-time radiation dose and/or dose
distribution calculations.

O
Our work on this robotic arm was carried out under the
EU Handle Project (Seventh Framework Programme)
and incorporates several engineering advancements.
The main one is the use of human hand kinematics
with 24 degrees of freedom – a first of its kind for allpurpose grippers. Another advancement is the use of a
mechanical network of bodies, tendons, and pulleys to
transfer motion, making the arm both lightweight and
extremely versatile.
We have filed three patents related to this technology and
are in talks with industry partners. The EU project ended
in early 2013, but we are continuing to develop high-level
control strategies for calculating the contact force needed
to manipulate objects in a robust manner.
We are initially targeting applications in cobotics and
assisted living for the disabled. Our arm has already been
validated through high-level testing, paving the way for
a promising future. ■
Precise, yet fluid movements
■ Ob
jectives
Our engineers carefully designed the routing of tendons
to prevent friction and hysteresis, which are often what
make robotic movements jerky and blunt. The tendons
are short, since the motors are located in the palm, near
the robotic fingers. And the pulleys’ tangent points are
on the same rotation axis as the finger joints. Mechanical
transmission in the arm can be reversed, for a more
granular perception of force at the actuators.
Three new patent applications
Our new robotic arm can pick up and manipulate a
light bulb without breaking it, for example, and can
perform in-hand manipulations like turning over a light
bulb held in its palm. This opens the door to a slew of
new functions and tasks impossible with conventional
robotic grippers.

2012 ACTIVITY REPORT
Astrid, a fourth-generation
nuclear reactor prototype
developed by the CEA, uses
sodium as a coolant. Which
raises the issue of how to inspect
tanks – filled with an opaque,
200°C liquid – during scheduled
plant shutdowns. At CEA LIST,
we came up with a solution in
the form of phased array sensors
capable of imaging submerged
parts of the reactor rather than
isolated points.

Generating ultrasound waves
right in the sodium
Because sodium is opaque, optical inspection methods
cannot be used. Therefore our researchers opted for
ultrasound. Our new phased array sensors feature an
innovation that conventional piezoelectric sensors
used to generate ultrasound waves do not offer. Our
sensors can generate ultrasound waves directly in the
sodium, with no wetting issues – offering a significant
advantage over conventional piezoelectric sensors,
which cannot transmit ultrasound waves effectively
in liquid sodium. This is due to the interaction of eddy
currents generated by a coil and the static magnetic field
produced by a permanently-installed magnet.
The simulation enabled our researchers to design
and optimize the sensors, placing the coils at the
best possible positions within the housing. Our new
sensors have eight elements, each of which produces
an acoustical wave, which, when added to the waves
produced by the other element, forms a wave that is
propagated in a given direction. This avoids needlessly
moving the sensors around mechanically, since an image
of a particular area of the reactor can be generated from
a single position.
Improving service through
remote measurement
Our multielement sensors were tested in a sodium tank
at CEA Cadarache. We assessed the system’s remote
measurement and imaging capabilities with satisfactory
results. Accuracy was good and the sensors were robust
enough to withstand the high temperature of the liquid
sodium.
Additional tests will be performed later in 2013, with the
goal of assessing how well the sensors can detect cracks
in metal parts immersed in the sodium. We will once
again turn to our CIVA software – this time to further
improve the method’s performance – and develop
enhanced sensors.
At this stage, our innovative sensors look extremely
promising. Because they have multiple elements, they
can generate images of areas of around a hundred pixels,
giving reactor inspectors more complete information
than measurements taken at isolated points. ■

A custom NDT method
for a complex
metallurgical structure
We have developed a custom
ultrasound testing method to inspect
14-inch duplex-stainless-steel T-joint welds.
Conventional sensors could not be used on
these types of welds due to the offtake’s
curved geometry and the material’s “noisy”
measurement output.
Our researchers designed an articulated
multielement sensor capable of following
the fillet curve radius (50 mm) and able
to operate at a frequency (500 kHz)
appropriate to the material’s grade.
The testing trajectory, sensor angle, and
acoustics were optimized and validated
on our CIVA simulation software. Defects of
at least 6 mm were successfully detected,
meeting the safety requirements of the
industry concerned.
CIVA tackles increasingly
complex simulation tasks
Our CIVA modeling software has a new
module that can simulate real-world
inspection configurations complicated by
phenomena like creeping waves, complex
interactions, and anisotropic media. CIVA’s
semi-analytical methods were paired
with the Athena finite element code
developed by EDF R&D. This code factors in
all physical phenomena and can respond
to a number of situations for which there
was previously no solution. It leverages
the numerical discretization of complete
physical models; the only drawback is it
requires a longer computation time.
However to keep computation time to
within reasonable lengths, the module uses
only numerical methods for the sections
of a part that require it. The module is the
fruit of joint development work by the CEA
and EDF, and has already been delivered to
several customers – including EDF, where it
is used in the project qualification process.

several program/processor/parallel-programmingmodel systems before selecting the one they will use. The
method can be applied very early on in the design process
and substantially reduces the gap between predicted and
actual processing power. The error rate was less than 20%
when used on a pedestrian detection program developed
by CEA LIST.
Nodes, hot points,
and signatures

What’s the point of investing in parallel processors if they
don’t deliver the expected performance? Nevertheless,
today such disappointments are commonplace. Engineers
usually have to fly blind, selecting hardware without
knowing its actual performance until some three months
later. Sometimes the actual processing power is 70% less
than what was initially specified!
Shrinking the margin of error
to less than 20%
With the new evaluation method developed on our
Embedded Systems platform, engineers no longer have to
This breakthrough was achieved by using programming
fragments, or “nodes.” The nodes were developed through
an expert approach to determine the representative
basic functions of all behaviors in a given application; for
example, the location of data, how regularly instructions
are transmitted, the order of operations, and the type of
parallel structure. The node behaviors were characterized
with around ten variables, resulting in a “signature” for
each node.
To evaluate the performance of a program, engineers
first identify its hot points – i.e., the sections of code
that require the most run time – and determine these
hot points’ signatures. They then search the database of
nodes for ones with the same behaviors, and simulate the
execution of these nodes to extrapolate the program’s
actual performance.
The method currently has a database of around a dozen
application nodes (for applications like image processing,
content analysis, and tomography), six parallel processors,
and three programming models: OpenMP, PthreadFarming, and OpenCL. It is available to CEA LIST industry
partners but is not yet on the market. ■

Embedded digital
software:
validating systems
from the ground up
To ensure accurate computation, embedded
digital software developers must validate
the basic software functions, or the library
of software building blocks on which all
applications rely – a particularly tricky
step many developers balk at. Fluctuat,
developed by CEA LIST, simplifies basic
function validation. This new tool was used in
a one‑month study to validate an automotive
component manufacturer’s entire library.
Once basic functions have been validated by Fluctuat,
embedded digital software developers can rest assured
that their building blocks are 100% reliable.
Going beyond validation
to improve libraries
d
Developing embedded digital software entails combining
several components that are built from basic functions
found in libraries. To avoid computation errors due
to f loating-point numbers, developers count on
functions that are accurate and, if possible, fast and
resource-efficient.
Ensuring 100% reliable
basic functions
In practice, developers often perform lengthy, costly,
and error-prone testing-based validation. Fluctuat is
light years ahead, covering all possible use scenarios
and entry values. Fluctuat identifies critical points, and
then generates and executes the corresponding tests,
indicating the exact origin of any errors found.

3D calibration for augmented reality is nothing new.
However, up until now it required placing markers,
measuring their positions, and “teaching” the system
– an experts-only process too long and arduous to
perform on multiple objects. But now, all of this can
be completed in just one minute, thanks to CEA LIST
technology that has been transferred to start-up
Diotasoft, which is already working with Renault.
Today the technology is at the prototype stage, and is
capable of delivering a photorealistic augmented reality
experience without markers and right on the sales floor
thanks to the Selltic Tablet, a lightweight, easy to use
selling tool.
The 3D configurator, which can be accessed either on
line or at the showroom, lets customers personalize their
car’s paint and interior colours, decals, accessories, and
customizations. The configurator then lets customers
view the results in virtual reality mode on an actual car
on the showroom floor. Customers simply walk around
the vehicle, viewing it through the Selltic tablet to see
‘their’ car. The prototype lets customers see a real car
with all of the available interior and exterior options.
A breakthrough solution
This breakthrough solution is based on a simple idea:
integrate information inherent to the 3D model of
the object being observed into an image processing
software module (with simultaneous location and
mapping).
Despite a number of constraints – such as handling
complex shapes and textures, a large range of move­
ment, objects behind other objects, varied lighting, and
down-to-the-pixel accuracy –the application had to be
robust. The augmented reality solution transferred to
Diotasoft is the new state of the art, with the most sta­
ble, jitter-free calibration in the world.
Our researchers overcame the challenge of how to
simultaneously resolve in a non-linear system the
geometrical constraints inherent to the 3D model
of the object, and the constraints inherent to the 3D
reconstruction of a scene from video. They also brought
home a big win in terms of software, by executing the
application on a tablet in real time.

less than 9 nm thick.
This advancement

transistors that

B
Better control of doping is one of the keys to perfecting
tomorrow’s diamond transistors. The aeronautics and
space industries are anxiously awaiting the transistors,
which can withstand high breakdown voltages and
temperatures of up to 700°C (versus 150°C for silicon
transistors), making them suitable for embedded
electronics.
Dopant concentrations slashed
tenfold for 2.5 nm thicknesses
N-type doping is currently limited by the number of
donors. That’s why scientists are looking to p-type
boron doping, used in conjunction with an original
architecture: a highly-boron-doped nanometric layer
works as a channel between two low-doped layers
serving as source and drain.
Our researchers have successfully synthesized the layers
in a reproducible manner. Furthermore, the interface
angles between the layers are state of the art. Boron
concentrations can vary by one order of magnitude for
thicknesses of 2.5 nm – a determining factor in the proper
electrical functioning of the transistor.
Gases injected
close to the diamond layer
The conventional technique consists of introducing
a boron bar into a plasma CVD chamber, where the
crystalline growth of the diamond layers occur, and
then withdrawing it. Difficulties in introducing and
withdrawing the boron bar accurately are what make the
process hard to reproduce.
Our researchers brought the reactive species as close to
the diamond substrate as possible in gas form, using
an injector controlled by a translator with down-to-themillimetre accuracy.
The operation is performed at a specific pressure and
temperature, and the plasma CVD chamber is activated
by a microwave field. This results in perfect control over
the doping process, with concentrations of 2x1020 boron
atoms per cm3 in the 9-nm delta-doped layer, compared to
5x1016 boron atoms per cm3 in the two “sandwich” layers.
We are now one of the few labs in the world to fully
master this technique. If mobility measurements of the
carriers in these structures are conclusive, RF switches

measurement chain, which, despite the
thickness of the metal containers, can
distinguish those filled with sediment from
those containing explosives.
The primary application for the new system

to detect undetonated explosive devices
from past armed conflicts.

Beta emitters:
exchange effect present
at low energy levels
The “exchange effect” is a little‑known
physical phenomenon that can change
the average energy of a beta emitter
spectrum by 2.2%. It also increases
the probability of emission for very
low energy levels by more than
20%. These results – obtained in the
first‑ever study at such low energy
levels – have repercussions for both
nuclear medicine and nuclear energy.
The first-ever demonstration
at 200 eV
W
When a beta emitter disintegrates, the beta electron
creation process can be altered by the “exchange effect.”
This phenomenon does not change the maximum energy
produced, but it does influence the shape – and thus the
average energy – of the spectrum.
At very low energy, the shape
of radionuclide beta spectrum
changes
And for the very first time, our researchers have assessed
this influence down to a very low energy level – 200 eV.
The exchange effect, very weak at 10 keV and above, plays
a major role here. The findings of our research will have
repercussions for the nuclear industry (for quantifying
the residual heat of a reactor core once the reactor has
been shut down, for instance) and for nuclear medicine
(where it could help reduce uncertainty in source activity
measurements).
At 200 eV, the exchange effect increased the probability
of emission by 23% for nickel-63, thus lowering the
spectrum’s average energy by 2.2% – the desired
uncertainty level is ten times lower. Overall, the effect
shortens the radionuclide’s radioactive period.
The results were obtained using a metal magnetic
calorimeter we have developed. The temperature inside
the calorimeter is close to absolute zero, and the energy
of each particle is measured according to the temperature
rise it causes.
The energy detection threshold is very low (200 eV in this
case), and detection yields are close to 100% for the entire
spectrum. Linearity is excellent over more than two orders
of magnitude of energy, for accurate measurement of the
shape of beta spectra.
Our researchers also made a source from nickel-63
electrodeposited on a gold leaf and enclosed within a
magnetic calorimeter. The spectrum obtained matched
the theoretical spectra calculated using our BetaShape
code.
This is the first time that the exchange effect has been
confirmed empirically for such a low energy level. The only
other experiment of this kind was carried out at energy
levels greater than 8 keV. ■

Until now, references were expressed

Our new calorimeter can be used to
calibrate dosimeters directly in terms
of absorbed dose to water, in line with
International Atomic Energy Agency
recommendations. It can detect water

A 32-pixel matrix of X-ray and
gamma-ray detectors was tested and
characterized pixel by pixel on the SOLEX
(Source of Low-energy X-rays) equipment
at the Laboratoire national HenriBecquerel. The detector will be used on
a Franco-Chinese space mission to study
the formation of stars and galaxies during
an early era, which will require a very low
detection limit – ideally under 6 keV.
The researchers calibrated a gas
proportional counter for a wide range of
energies in order to measure the incident
flux of photons with a precision of better
than 2%. The inhomogeneities between
pixels were characterized in order to make
the necessary corrections. More detailed
testing is now planned, since the finished
detector will count 200 of the matrices.
Dosimetry: better
characterization
of low‑energy X- and
gamma-ray photon beams
A PhD dissertation underway at
CEA LIST is looking at the use of
semiconductor‑based detectors to
better characterize the X-ray sources
used in brachytherapy, radiotherapy,
and radiation diagnosis.
Two positioning benches have been
developed to perfectly align the detectors
with the beams, and two semiconductorbased detectors (one silicon and the other
germanium) have been calibrated. Their
combined use can reliably determine a
source emission spectrum. As an example,
the pulsed beam used in mammography
equipment (25 keV) was characterized.
The research is continuing with the study
of higher energy levels (up to 200 keV)
and will also include the contribution of
parasite scattering emissions from the
detection system itself.

CEA Tech
in the French
provinces:
Boosting tech­
nology transfer
to SMEs
CEA Tech has opened regional branch offices in Nantes,
Bordeaux, and Toulouse to build stronger ties with local
SMEs and better target its services to boost technology
transfer. CEA LIST is one of three CEA research institutes
involved in this experimental initiative to bolster the
competitiveness of businesses in the French provinces.
CEA Tech – the Technology Research Division’s new name
– has opened regional offices in Nantes, Bordeaux, and
Toulouse to move closer to industrial partners. Until now,
CEA Tech had been organized around its flagship sites in
Saclay and Grenoble, and 90% of its industrial partners
were located in Greater Paris and the Rhône-Alpes region.
The new offices were deemed crucial in expanding the
organization’s successful industrial partnerships into
other regions of France.
Product-driven platforms
focusing on applications
and integration
Large corporations are much more likely to benefit from
technology research at the CEA than SMEs. And the
reasons behind the underrepresentation of SMEs among
the CEA’s industrial partners go beyond just size and
financial resources. New types of partnerships are also
needed. That’s why the regional offices have adopted
a distinctly product-driven approach, with technology
platforms that focus on applications and integration.
For businesses that need technology research in areas
like materials or components, the CEA’s flagship sites in
Saclay and Grenoble will be there to respond. However, to
facilitate these projects, the regional offices will remain
local business’ main point of contact.
A CEA LIST technical officer
in each region
CEA LIST is playing a key role in the new CEA Tech regional
offices. A CEA LIST technical officer has been assigned to
each regional branch to liaise with local businesses and
match the resources available at the CEA’s flagship sites
with business’ needs.
Local governments are also supporting – and helping to
finance – the new offices. However, CEA staffing costs must
be fully financed by corporate research contracts – another
way of ensuring that the regional offices truly meet the
needs of the local economies they serve.

Advanced manufacturing plays
a starring role
Our expertise in advanced manufacturing forms one of
the cornerstones of the regional offices’ technology lineup. Businesses looking to take their manufacturing
capabilities to new heights are looking at how
technologies like robotics, virtual reality, augmented
reality, process control, and non-destructive testing can
help.
The key technologies to be covered by each regional office
have not been determined in advance. The technology
choices will depend on the unique needs of each region’s
economy, which industries are most willing to cooperate,
Academic research,
another facet of the initiative
and – to avoid duplicating what is already in place –
what other technology platforms have been set up in
each region.
Intensifying existing
partnerships
With this initiative, we also hope that the regional
offices will help intensify existing partnerships. We
are already working with companies in the defence,
nuclear, and automotive industries. For example, Airbus
– headquartered in Toulouse – is a long-term partner in
areas like non-destructive testing, troubleshooting for
cabling, and tools and software for embedded systems. ■
CEA Tech’s strategy to expand into the French provinces is about
more than just technology transfer. The initiative also aims to
revitalize local academic research through joint basic research
programs, PhD dissertations, and scientific publications. A number of
indicators have been set up to monitor progress toward these goals,
which will be part of the French government’s assessment of CEA Tech.

Pump-priming to drive innovation
internationalcaliber
Every year we allocate 25% of our budget
to pump‑priming projects that lay the groundwork
for our future technological breakthroughs.
Pump-priming projects generally have a three- to fiveyear time horizon and strive to:
– Assess the most recent findings from academic research
– S pot those that could lead to technological
breakthroughs
– Establish proof of concept
– Create the first demonstrators
– Protect new concepts with pioneering patents
Our pump-priming projects pave the way for state-ofthe-art applied research, whether carried out through
joint laboratories, industry partnerships, collaborative
projects, or business spin-offs.
Pump-priming research
focus areas
– Smart manufacturing
– Software systems and architectures
– Interactive systems
– Big data
Projects under France’s Carnot
program
Under the French government’s Carnot Institute program,
research centers can receive matching funds based on the
income they receive from partner companies. These funds
are used to support pump-priming projects selected by
CEA LIST and the CEA’s Technological Research Division.
Funding provided under this program could exceed euros
1 million per project.
We are currently working on three Carnot projects:
– Capme’up, to help small manufacturers and mid-tech
companies get more advanced technologies into their
production systems and products. This project focuses
on mechatronics, non-destructive testing, and inter­
active robotics.
–C
ivamont, to promote theoretical advancements in sim­
ulation and data processing for non-destructive testing,
and to transfer these advancements to our CIVA non-de­
structive testing software user community. This project
involves 15 research centers from six European countries.
– Secure Cloud, to test software and hardware-software
systems used in cloud computing. The goal is to improve
data integrity, data confidentiality, and service uptime.
Fuelling the local
innovation ecosystem
– We are currently working with the information and
communication technology (ICT) research cluster Digiteo on 5- to 10-year pump-priming projects focused
on IT. These projects bring together several other pres­
tigious partners like CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, INRIA,
and Ecole Centrale.
– CEA Tech and Mines Telecoms Institute have entered
into a memorandum of understanding for joint research
on ambient intelligence. They will build a R&D platform
called MobileMii, which will include a 100 m2 fully-instru­
mented test apartment to study ambient intelligence
applications for the home.
– In 2012 we began work under the DigiCosme project
(which was granted funding under France’s LabEx pro­
gram in 2011) with a kick-off symposium and industry
partner days. This project will look at the key challenges
facing the IT industry, such as how to process increasingly
massive volumes of data, manage distributed, heterogene­
ous applications, and develop more powerful algorithms.

Open innovation
fuels business
growth
At CEA LIST, we leverage open innovation to help companies speed the innovation process
by integrating approaches like user-driven innovation and design. This pioneering
philosophy was first adopted at CEA’s Grenoble site and has since spread to Saclay,
where work has stepped up on existing projects and new facilities and equipment should
be up and running by 2014.
Forging close ties with France’s
industrial design school
Ten-week design workshops with CEA LIST researchers
and students at the French national school of industrial
design (ENSCI) continued in 2012 to look at new uses for
emerging technologies. Topics of interest included:
– Using different methods to model and evaluate complex systems like boxes, interlocking wheels, and
interactive digital tables
– T he emergence of new communicating objects
incorporating sensor-based ambient intelligence and
surface instrumentation capabilities (like tables and
countertops) and their potential uses in the home
Under our partnership with ENSCI, we also design new
objects through conventional R&D projects. A cohort of
15 students will work full-time at the Nano-INNOV design
center starting in 2014, providing support for the center’s
projects for industry partners.
Other schools may join in on this work, as is already the
case at the Grenoble site where architecture, engineering,
and political science students also pitch in on design
projects.
IDEAs Lab goes national
The MINATEC IDEAs Laboratory® (“Ideas Lab”) became a
national organization in late 2012 through an initiative
to pool efforts at its Grenoble and Saclay sites. This move
will improve consistency and coordination in the Lab’s
activities – especially in terms of opening new sites.
The Lab’s core mission remains the same: to predict what
our lifestyles will look like ten years from now – drawing
on techniques used in the human and social sciences,
technology, and design – and prepare for new uses for
technology and changes in industry partners’ markets.
In 2012 the Saclay site worked on several projects in the
fields of local development, the home, energy, mobility,
and the arts and culture.
The Ideas Lab works with large corporations (Renault,
Bouygues, STMicroelectronics, and GDF Suez), twelve
small businesses in the Paris and Rhône-Alpes regions,
the Isère General Council, and several Grenoble-area
universities. Paris-based companies and universities
should also start working with the Saclay site now that it
has ramped up operations.
The Ideas Lab has expanded its partnership network
through the launch of a new R&D topic: Heath, Sports &
Wellness. Spearheaded by CEA LIST researchers at Saclay,
this new focus area will study how new technology can
give greater freedom to people suffering from factors
like stress, pressure to do things more quickly, and long
commutes. Applications will cover solutions for work,
home, and play – all areas of life.
SPICE-ing up user-centered
innovation
While the Ideas Lab is a joint innovation platform where
partners share the results of development work, SPICE
(Service pour l’innovation centrée expérience utilisateur)
is an R&D center for businesses who want to keep their
discoveries confidential. Its 20 researchers work on
specific projects for individual companies that have
exclusive rights to their project’s findings.
Grenoble-based SPICE also does on-site R&D for CEA
Leti, CEA Liten, and CEA LIST. Its R&D takes place main­ly
through creativity sessions, usage tests, rapid prototyping
(e.g., thermoforming and 3D printing), and the develop­
ment of new business models for test markets.
SPICE also manages the showrooms where the CEA’s
Technological Research Division (CEA Tech) and research
institutes present their innovations. The Grenoble
showroom – the first one to open its doors – opens its
doors to companies to support the emergence of new
concepts.
