A&T professor has technology to monitor bridge safety
North Carolina A&T State University has developed a technology that could have possibly prevented the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.   view more (2007-08-06)

Breath or Urine Analysis May Detect Cancer, Diabetes
A future sensor may take away a patient's breath while simultaneously determining whether the patient has breast cancer, lung cancer, diabetes or asthma. A University of Missouri researcher is developing a device that will analyze breath or urine samples for volatile markers inside the body that indicate disease.   view more (2009-03-11)

ANALYTICA 2004: Portable Laboratory for Serial Control of Oil
Together with WearCheck GmbH (Brannenburg), the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz (IMM GmbH) has developed the colour measuring instrument WaveCheck300. WaveCheck300 is the first portable analysis device for the quality control of machine oil. It measures colorimetrically with a miniaturised spectral sensor. A special software analyzes the... view more... (2004-05-10)

Remote heartbeat monitor will outperform current technology
Doctors may be able to monitor a patient`s heartbeat from a distance by using a radical new sensor that is currently being developed at the University of Sussex in Brighton.   view more (2002-01-29)

Electronic tongue as oil tester
In the early days of mass motoring, in the 1950s, a car became due for inspection and oil change roughly every 3,000 kilometers. Since then, improvements to car engines and oils have lengthened this interval to around 30,000 kilometers, and it is likely to increase still further: to three times that figure, in the years to come. Nevertheless, the... view more... (2003-05-22)

New Technology Helps Bring The Past To Life
The past is being brought to life through wireless technology thanks to a grant of around EUR145,000 from the Information Society Technology (IST) Programme of the European Union's Framework Programme. The CHOSA (Cultural Heritage Of St Albans) project set out to develop a new way of interpreting and experiencing the Roman Park and remains of the... view more... (2004-04-15)

Optical wireless and broadband over power lines: High speed, secure Wi-Fi alternative
Penn State engineers have shown that a white-LED system for lighting and high data-rate indoor wireless communications, coupled with broadband over either medium- or low-voltage power line grids (BPL), can offer transmission capacities that exceed DSL or cable and are more secure than RF.   view more (2006-01-12)

Handheld DNA detector
A researcher at the National University at San Diego has taken a mathematical approach to a biological problem - how to design a portable DNA detector.   view more (2008-03-11)

Car tyres monitor their own pressure
Whether inserted in the cover of a book or moulded in a car key, transponders prefer to lead an inconspicuous life. It's only when the retail store theft alarm screams or when an automobile anti-theft system prevents a car from being stolen that their active presence is noticed. But strictly speaking, the tiny electronic circuits are always... view more... (2003-07-01)

World first trial to test human implant of HeartPOD‚—¢
Researchers at The Alfred and Monash University are leading a world first trial to investigate whether the implantation of a specially designed HeartPODTM monitoring system in heart failure patients can keep them out of hospital and lead to a better quality of life.   view more (2005-12-01)

ETH Zurich Develops a Single-chip Microsensor System to Analyse Gases
There are many target application areas envisaged for the gas sensor chip. Air quality in closed rooms can be monitored. The presence of dangerous - even poisonous - substances in the air can be detected, such as benzene from petrol pumps or perchloroethylene from dry-cleaning installations, and warnings can then be issued. Low-cost Mass... view more... (2001-11-14)

Swell alcohol detector
A new, highly sensitive way of detecting alcohol vapour is published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers from the University of Yamanashi and the TRI Chemical Laboratory Inc in Japan have designed and tested new plastic optical fibre sensors that could be used to detect hazardous gas leaks,... view more...
