Automatic sanitization of textual documentsRedaction or sanitization is required to declassify sensitive textual documents or make them available for secondary use. This task, which is complex, time-consuming and prone to errors, is performed manually by one or several human experts. Our technology automatizes the process by automatically detecting terms and term combinations appearing in the documents that may disclose sensitive information. Such terms are then subject to redaction or generalization.Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - UPC posted this:

Autonomous vehicles for transport of materials in warehouseUniversity researchers have developed a low cost device that can be adapted to different types of vehicles, allowing the movement and transport of loads in complex spaces without the need for drivers. This system is ideal for transporting materials in warehouses where it is necessary to make a continuous passage of goods between different points. The technology, designed by researchers from the UA Research Group in Signals, Systems and Telecommunication, allows the vehicles to be programmed to travel independently, without human intervention, by mapping and pinpointing the area through various sensors such as laser and machine vision systems. This allows for the reconstruction of the area and the identification of possible moving objects. It also reckons the optimal path to reach a certain point, avoiding potential obstacles through reinforcement learning techniques. This technology presents several advantages. It organizes the information about the vehicle’s surroundings captured by several sensors. In this way, the vehicle location can be inferred by the form and position of the detected obstacles. The system operates in dynamic environments, and this allows it to work in places with free movement of persons. The technology can be installed in any kind of vehicle, new or used, without calibration needed.

Bacterial Detection in Amniotic FluidDetermination of the presence of specific bacteria in amniotic fluid collected by amniocentesis using multiple RT-PCR test. Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) is a pregnancy complication. In this condition, the sac (amniotic membrane) surrounding the fetus breaks (ruptures) before week 37 of pregnancy. Once the sac breaks, pregnant woman has increased risk for infection. PPROM complicates 3 – 4% of all pregnancies and is up to 1/3 complicated by microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) leading to infection in amniotic fluid (AF) and development of intra-amniotic inflammation. Although this complication is usually asymptomatic, it is a major cause of preterm birth and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Neonates from these pregnancies are at increased risk of developing neonatal sepsis and impaired psychomotor development and other sometimes lifelong health consequences. Currently, determining the MIAC in patients with PPROM is very time-consuming and technically demanding. Main disadvantage is that results are available in days, which is already clinically irrelevant for the initiation of targeted antibiotic treatment. We have developed multiplex Real Time - PCR (Real - Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) assay for simultaneous detection of the most common targeted pathogens in AF collected by amniocentesis. The method will reduce the time required to diagnose specific pathogen and help clinicians make quick and accurate treatment decision. The assay consists of 3 panels for DNA detection of 8 most common microorganisms. Each panel contains specific sets of primers and probes. Assay results are determined by PCR fluorescence signal. Panels were validated retrospectively on 20 samples of AF of PPROM patients and have reached 90 % sensitivity so far. Further prospective validation study is currently underway. Advantages High sensitivity of the method - panel of selected microorganisms in multiplex assay was defined on the basis of research in nearly 700 patients with PPROM and it covers 88 % of microorganisms responsible for MIAC in PPROM patients. The multiplex approach determines the selected microbes in several hours after sampling in semi-quantitative way compare to the current approach (combination of specific multiplex Real Time - PCR for 3microorganisms in combination with PCR assay targeting 16S rRNA regions followed by Sagner sequencing for the rest of targeted microbes and cultivation techniques). Personalized approach to the clinical management and therapeutic intervention of the patients with PPROM based on the assay results. The technology does not require specialized laboratory equipment or specialized personnel and thus is suitable for molecular laboratory of perinatology centres equipped with standard Real-Time PCR cycler.- Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de PueblaBenemérita Universidad Autónoma de PueblaBenemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla

Balance Belt - A safety and rehabilitation aid for training of standing up, balancing and walkingBackground As part of the rehabilitation and verticalization of seniors or patients with limited mobility or reduced stability, so-called walkers are used nowadays. The disadvantage of these walkers is that in some cases the user feels insecure and is afraid of falling, or the user isn't strong enough or doesn't feel strong enough to be able to stand or walk with support for hands only. Description of the invention The BalanceBelt consists of the seat, handles and strong elastic straps that can be attached to the high walker. It will enable the use of walkers even for people who, with standard walkers, would still need constant help from the nursing staff while standing or walking, either in the form of additional support or in the form of being ready to catch the patients in case of a fall. At the same time, it makes it easier for nursing staff to verticalize patients, for example when they need to get up to exercise with the help of a walker. The belt can be used separately to facilitate the manipulation with the patient (during transfers or bed exercises, when practicing sitting and standing up) or as part of a high walker for practicing walking. Advantages The combination of flexible and strong attachment of ropes or straps is used: · for standing up and balance training · for training transfers from bed (to wheelchair, high walker) · for walking (not only as support, but also as a stimulation) Balance Belt is intended for people with limited mobility and stability problems after injuries, surgery, neurological and other disorders. It allows patients to overcome the fear of standing and walking, allowing faster progress in therapy, reducing the risk of instability and falling. It also enables caregivers to have a firmer grip and facilitates, eventually replaces manual assistance, and improves the ergonomics of work. Potential use The device can be used in acute health care facilities (hospitals), aftercare facilities, rehabilitation institutions, social care institutions, retirement homes as well as in the home environment. The device can be easily used by both professional medical stuff or by average non-medical population.Robert DiSilvestro posted this:

Bio-based Concrete Cure AccelerantAirable Research Lab has synthesized a soy-based cure accelerant for concrete. Cure accelerants reduce the time that it takes for poured concrete to set, which is particularly useful in situations when a quick set is necessary (such as in the winter and in niche areas of the construction industry). Today, the chemical most commonly used for acceleration is calcium chloride, which is efficient and inexpensive, but chloride anions are corrosive to rebar. Alternatives such as nitrite-/nitrate-based compounds are toxic. In addition, these materials have somewhat fragile supply chains. The combined challenges have motivated industry to consider alternative feedstocks. Airable’s bio-based, renewable compound provides good performance without the corrosion challenges, environmental impacts, or supply chain issues.University of Alberta, Technology Transfer Services posted this:
