The textile-based tensoresistive sensors’ operation and their usage in the innovative technologies

Endless opportunities offered by new technologies inspired us to create an electronical device which could not only develop entertainment industry but also could make an improvement for rehabilitation, physiotherapy and sport. We started to explore tensoresistive sensors which change its resistance to exposure of an external power. We created a fabric with textile-based tensoresistive sensors and an experimental sock to …

LaserWAN: laser broadband internet connection

LaserWAN is a revolutionary technology that uses the infrared rays, emitted by specific lasers to convey a high speed internet connection even to the most isolated places in the world, deleting the Digital Divide. LaserWAN is able to bring everywhere a 500 Mbit/s internet connection mounting special transceivers on the top of pylons of high tension lines which bring the …

Cherry Flavour Concrete Innovative Biomaterial for Thermal Insulation

Cherry Flavour concrete is a study on the assessments of the thermal conductivity of cement realized with cherry kernel as lightweight recycling aggregates. The study conducted has put in evidence the lower thermal conductivity of the mixture containing cherry kernel, which are most suitable as a recycling aggregate for non-structural castings for thermal insulation. At the end the study showed …

Aggregated Drip Infusion System

As part of their treatment, many Hospitalized patients receive multiple drugs intravenously using a Drip Infusion system. Today, when a set of drug is prescribed, for each drug the medical staff must set up a drip infusion for that drug followed by a saline flush for washing the system in order to prevent interaction between the various drugs. As a …

An Investigation into the Effects of Enzymes used in Animal Feed Additives on the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis Elegans

Our project deals with environmental protection. We have investigated what effects the enzymes found in animal feed additives have on the soil nematode C. elegans . Following the culturing of C. elegans in the presence of βglucanase, xylanase and phytase, behavioural assays were performed. It was observed that βglucanase and phytase alter sensory abilities, while all shorten lifespan. Once such …
