Over the last decade, Organ-on-Chip (OoC) emerged as a promising technology for advanced models, recapitulating key physiological cues. OoC approaches tailored for cardiac tissue engineering resulted in a variety of platforms, some of which integrate stimulation or probing capabilities. Due to manual handling processes, however, a large-scale standardized and robust tissue generation, applicable in an industrial setting, is still out of reach. Read More

A near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer can perceive the change in characteristics of the grain reflectance spectrum quickly and nondestructively, which can be used to determine grain quality information. The full-band spectral information of samples of multiple physical states can be measured using existing instruments, yet it is difficult for the full-band instrument to be widely used in grain quality detection due to its high price, large size, non-portability, and inability to directly output the grain quality information. Because of the above problems, a phenotypic sensor about grain quality was developed for wheat, and four wavelengths were chosen. Read More

Purpose: Hybrid navigation is a promising technique which combines the benefits of optical or electromagnetic tracking (EMT) and fluoroscopy imaging. Unfortunately, the fluoroscopy system is a source of metallic distortion for the EMT system. In this work, we present a new method for intraoperative calibration and real-time compensation of dynamic field distortions. Read More

Strike index is a measurement of the center of pressure position relative to the foot length, and it is regarded as a gold standard in classifying strike pattern in runners. However, strike index requires sophisticated laboratory equipment, e.g. Read More

The demand for extended care for people suffering from heart failure is omnipresent. Wearables providing continuous heart rate measurement through optical sensors are of great interest due to their ease of use without the need for medical staff and their low cost. In this study, seven wearables were tested in fifteen measurement runs, with a duration of fourteen-hour each, and compared to a reference sensor. Read More
