Fourier spotting: a novel setup for single-color reflectometry.

Single-color reflectrometry is a sensitive and robust detection method in optical biosensor applications, for example for bioanalysis. It is based on the interference of reflected monochromatic radiation and is label free. We present a novel setup for single-color reflectometry based on the patented technology of Berner et al.

Rate-responsive pacing based on the atrio-ventricular conduction time: comparison of different algorithms.

Rate-responsive pacing based on the atrio-ventricular conduction time is a promising therapy for restoring physiological heart rate control in chronotropic incompetent patients. This paper compares four different algorithms. Three of them had been formulated as patents, but no real test or application has been reported up to now.
