An in vitro method for detecting one or more antibodies in a sample has been developed. Through lateral flow assays, it is possible to easily and rapidly detect IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies associated with infectious and autoimmune diseases.[…]

Stroke is a major global health problem and is the second most common cause of death in Europe. Most patients who have suffered a stroke experience significant functional improvement during the first few weeks or months, although this may worsen in the long term (>6 months). This adds to the risk of[…]

This program, jointly developed by the Rovira i Virgili University, Barcelona University and IPHES helps you to quickly computerize your field data, to use a total station efficiently and easily, to export and edit your data, print labels and make sections and planimetries. ARCH·e10 is a software[…]

The early and efficient detection of COVID-19 cases remains an unresolved issue. The detection of cases affected by COVID-19 is based on symptoms or contact tracing. But 60% of COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic or have few and unspecific symptoms. It is therefore difficult to diagnose them as they do […]

The invention belongs to the field of water quality and safety monitoring. More specifically, it is related to systems and methods of detection of micro and nano plastics in surface waters. The present invention refers to a sampling device for micro and nanoparticles, especially plastics, presen[…]

The invention consists in the design and evaluation of a functional ingredient composed of several bioactive compounds for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic syndrome-related diseases. Functionality of this multi-ingredient has been tested in a cafeteria diet-induced obesity model. It ha[…]

A new lead halide perovskite-graphene hybrid applied to gas sensing has been developed. Ultra-fast sensors able to work at room temperature have been developed and the role in the gas sensing mechanisms of different ions in perovskite nanocrystals decorating graphene elucidated. Our invention shows […]

The present invention deals with the development of new homogeneous catalytic systems for the synthesis of functionalized polyolefins featuring the polar vinyl monomer into the main polymer chain. Currently, the two technologies applied for the industrial production of functionalized polyolefins ar[…]

The Need Bariatric surgery has emerged as an effective treatment for obesity, but there is limited evidence regarding the optimal candidate for each surgical procedure and remission rates of type 2 diabetes observed across published series vary. New tools are needed to better predict diabetes remis[…]

The invention belongs to the field of water quality and safety monitoring. More specifically, it is related to systems and methods of early detection of micro-contaminants in surface waters. Traditionally the assessment of toxicants in the water relies on water extraction and analysis by chromato[…]

Software that recognizes user-defined objects in aerial images for agriculture and derives quantitative estimators for plant count (N), green area index (GAI), growth stage (GS), deficient leaf area fraction (DLAF), and weeds area fraction (WAF), and potentially further measures. It employs a pre-tr[…]

The offered invention allows controlling the process of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing in which an ink is printed on a substrate as a continuous line or fiber, forming predesigned 2D patterns and 3D structures. This is also known as near-field electrospinning (NFES). The offered technology a[…]

A versatile 3D printing technology is offered in which electrostatic control is used to form a continuous electrohydrodynamic ink jet and to precisely position it on a substrate forming a predefined pattern made of solid fiber with fiber diameter typically in the few-micron or submicron ranges. […]

"Entre-Visto" is an application that allows to develop a structured interview for the confirmation and contrast of the information offered by the traditional tests used in the selection process.[…]

Platform with instruments for the recording of absentee behavior in employees of the hotel sector. It is an important tool for proper management of the PRL.[…]

The present technology belongs to the medical field: by means of potentiometric sensors it is possible to detect the presence of hydrogen peroxide in clinical samples. This fact allows the development of devices for measuring hydrogen peroxide, preferably in a single undiluted whole blood drop out o[…]

How many times have we seen crutches falling to the ground when a disabled person leaves them propped against a wall ? "Contact" are two pieces developed by researchers of the Rovira i Virgili University, that offer the stability and adequate inertia to avoid lateral fall when the crutches are prop[…]
