Ferroelectric 2D SuperconductorThe present invention describes a ferroelectric-induced superconductor that can perform at temperatures ranging from below to above room temperature. This is achieved due to the high dielectric constant of the material. This new superconductor can be applied in various ways. It can be used between two identical conductors or semiconductors, two different conductors or semiconductors, or as an insulating core for a conductor. It can also be in contact with an insulator, such as air.

Fetal Activity Monitor - A system of sensors placed under the mattress of the pregnant women which monitors fetal activitySubjective monitoring of fetal movement activity of pregnant woman is a simple and effective method to verify physiological condition of the fetus. Mother perceives the characteristics and frequency of fetal activity during the day throughout second half of pregnancy and is able to identify when fetal activity is present. By the time mother realizes that she no longer feels fetal activity and visits the doctor, it is usually too late and the fetus is dead (4 deaths per 1000 children born per year in Czech Republic). Despite comprehensive prenatal care for pregnant women, this number has not been reversed in the last 20 years. The aim of fetal movement activity monitors is to provide monitoring of the fetal movement activity (during the sleep and in case of certain doubts during the day) so that the pregnant woman visits the doctor in time when suspects changes in the natural characteristics of the movements in order to prevent fetal death. Fetal movement activity monitor seems to be a better option to monitor fetal health than fetal heartbeat monitors because whenever fetus doesn’t feel well, it reduces its movement activity first while heart activity is still present or might not even be changed. A system of sensors placed under the mattress of the pregnant women was developed. The system is based on measurement of human body recoil movements generated by heart contraction and pulse wave propagation through cardiovascular system. The data obtained from the sensors were compared with the actograms of pregnant women (fetal movement activity records) obtained by the CTG (cardiotocography). The use of standard actogram is limited by the need for active involvement of the pregnant woman in the process of monitoring the physical activity of the fetus. This proposed system will make it possible to monitor the physical activity of the fetus continuously, without the need for active involvement of the pregnant woman and regardless of whether the pregnant woman is asleep or awake. Information about pulse arrival time is extracted after the preprocessing (small body movements and small changes in sensor position are omitted). Then time series of differences between pulse arrival times are prepared. Those time series are analyzed using multiple different methods such as spectral characteristics of time differences and/or convolutional neural networks. The graph shows a comparison of the output from the actogram (black curve indicating fetal movement activity) with calculated fetal movement activity detected by the sensors in the pad. From calculated activity is then possible to determine a threshold value above which the fetal movement activity is considered relevant. Further development would consist in optimizing the parameters of the algorithm to determine present movement activity in order to improve basic characteristics of the method, sensitivity, resp. specificity, which is now 80%, resp. 60%.

Film forming process to create large-area monolayers of exfoliated 2D nanomaterialsBackground There has been growing interest in a variety of 2D materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, hexagonal boron nitride, transition metal dichalcognides such as molybdenum disulfide, and more recently silicine and phosphorene. These materials have a range of unique properties and form a complete set of electronic materials which include conductors, semiconductors (direct and indirect band gap) and insulators which can, in principle, be arranged in various ways to build advanced electronic and optoelectronic circuits. Furthermore, single layers of these materials can be used as transparent conductors, blocking layers for food packaging or corrosion protection, or as selective membranes. The use of 2D nanomaterials in these applications requires the development of processing methods to deposit uniform thin films over large area and with fine control over film thickness or layer number.

Fingerprint biometric identification utilizing millimetre wavesBackground Biometrics offer a personal and convenient way of keeping our identities and our data secure. There are many biometric authentication methods that have been extensively studied, ranging from fingerprint scanners to retina sensors to facial recognition software. Of all of these, fingerprinting is likely the most well-known, and has been achieved through a wide variety of methods, whether based on infrared, multiple camera systems, or on acoustic waves. However, all of these have been shown to be prone to skimming and identity theft. In most of such cases, criminals can create a 3D printed finger or hand with identical features to those of a user finger or hand when exposed to the aforementioned fingerprint scanners.

Fluid quality testingFluid (oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) quality assurance, especially with respect to proper engine operation and maintenance (aeronautical and automotive) is very important. For example, the ability for early detection of contaminants in engine oil may be an indicator of an impending catastrophic failure. This information is critical in the safe operation of airplanes and automobiles. Knowing the actual condition of the fluid would also help companies tailor very specific maintenance procedures to each vehicle’s or airplane’s needs. This could have effect of lowering overall maintenance costs by performing costly maintenance services only when they are required.

Fluorescent compound for security inks with higher protection levelFluorescent compound for security inks with higher protection level CSIC has developed an organic fluorescent compound whose emission frequency varies as a function of external stimuli such as pressure and temperature. Therefore, this compound provides a double mechanism of use. The first mechanism consists in the ability of this material to show different colors depending on the angle of incidence of the light. The second mechanism occurs as the temperature increases producing a color change in the material that can be observed under ultraviolet light. Industrial partners, manufacturers of inks, interested into a patent licence agreement for development of different applications for the banking, pharmaceutical and textile sectors are being sought.

Fluorescent compounds, methods of manufacturing and uses thereofA group of researchers from a Portuguese university developed a family of new fluorophores to be used in biological imaging, either in cells or in entire organisms, in fluorescence microscopy techniques, including live cell imaging. The fluorophores are not toxic to cells and organisms, and light up cells by binding to organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, nucleus, and particularly lipid droplets. Importantly, the fluorophores change color with the polarity of the environment. The university is looking for companies that would be interested in developing this technology further through partnership, or in commercializing the probes through licensing or acquisition of the patent.Meghan Meyer posted this:

Foam and Sediments removal including biogas cooling. (FSR&BC)The BTS-FR. Foam and sediments remover and biogas cooling equipment is designed for foam removal, sediments removal, and biogas cooling coming from the digester. With this kind of equipment, the clogging of downstream equipment can be avoided, and the bad instrumentation working and control system. The foam and sediments removal of the biogas is accomplished by two different techniques. First changing the hydrodynamic condition of the biogas stream. Secondly, the gas is subjected to continuous exposure to cold water spray that at the same time allow the biogas cooling. As a result, the foam and other impurities are removal and comes out through the drain located in the down part of the equipment, and at the same time the biogas cooling. The level of cooling depends on the water injection temperature. This equipment is suitable for digester that work in thermophilic conditions
