Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies have made it possible to manipulate small volume liquids with unprecedented resolution, automation and integration. However, most current microfluidic systems still rely on bulky off-chip…
The paper proposes a novel medical device based on a 9 dof IMU to help health professionals performing more precisely the electrode placement task in EEG exams. The tool precisely tells the operator if the 10-20 electrode placement system…
Every year, about 4 million people die from upper respiratory infections. Mask-wearing is crucial in preventing the spread of pathogen-containing droplets, which is the primary cause of these illnesses. However, most techniques for mask…
The next significant step in the evolution and proliferation of artificial intelligence technology will be the integration of neural network (NN) models within embedded and mobile systems. This calls for the design of compact, energy…
We introduce a compact design for an electronic device capable of superposing 8 bias voltages up to $\pm$96~V on a voltage of up to 5~kV. Such a device has been implemented to provide biasing of a beam steerer-shifter system for use in…
We present the design, fabrication, and commissioning of a new liquid cell for X-ray absorption spectroscopy, that allows measurement in both transmission and fluorescence modes. The design consists of easily demountable and replaceable…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is due to launch in the mid-2030s. A key challenge for LISA data analysis is efficient Bayesian inference with parametrised gravitational-wave models, particularly for early inspirals of low-…
In previous work a novel Edge Lightweight Searchable Attribute-based encryption (ELSA) method was proposed to support Industry 4.0 and specifically Industrial Internet of Things applications. In this paper, we aim to improve ELSA by…
Microscopy plays a crucial role in hematology and diagnosis of infectious diseases worldwide. For malaria alone, more than 200 million slides are read by manual microscopists every year. High quality thin blood smears are essential for…
A custom-built mask aligner (CBMA), which fundamentally covers all the key features of a commercial mask aligner, while being low cost, light weight, and having low power consumption and high accuracy is constructed. The CBMA is comprised…
A potentiostat is an analytical device and a crucial component in electrochemical instruments used for studying chemical reaction mechanisms, with potential applications in early diagnosis of disease or critical health conditions.…
Dielectrophoresis is an electric field-based technique for moving neutral particles through a fluid. When used for particle separation, dielectrophoresis has many advantages compared to other methods, providing label-free operation with…
Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assays (ELISA) are a range of widely used analytical methods whose implementation requires to build antibodies (IgG) thin films onto surfaces predominantly made of polystyrene. The high hydrophobicity of…
The measurement of the biological tissue's electrical impedance is an active research field that has attracted a lot of attention during the last decades. Bio-impedances are closely related to a large variety of physiological conditions;…
This study developed handheld and low-cost digital holographic microscopy (DHM) by adopting an in-line type hologram, a webcam, a high power RGB light emitting diode (LED), and a pinhole. It cost less than 20,000 yen (approximately 250 US…
In this paper we propose a low-cost high-speed imaging line scan system. We replace an expensive industrial line scan camera and illumination with a custom-built set-up of cheap off-the-shelf components, yielding a measurement system with…
Multiarticulate bionic arms are now capable of mimicking the endogenous movements of the human hand. 3D-printing has reduced the cost of prosthetic hands themselves, but there is currently no low-cost alternative to dexterous…
The design and application of an instrumented particle for the lagrangian characterization of turbulent free surface flows is presented in this study. This instrumented particle constitutes a local measurement device capable of measuring…
A potentiostat is an essential piece of analytical equipment for studying electrochemical devices and reactions. As the design of electrochemical devices evolve applications for systems with multiple working electrodes have become more…
Ultrasound is a key technology in healthcare, and it is being explored for non-invasive, wearable, continuous monitoring of vital signs. However, its widespread adoption in this scenario is still hindered by the size, complexity, and power…
