Monitoring Vehicle Pollution and Fuel Consumption Based on AI Camera System and Gas Emission Estimator Model.

Road traffic is responsible for the majority of air pollutant emissions in the cities, often presenting high concentrations that exceed the limits set by the EU. This poses a serious threat to human health. In this sense, modelling methods have been developed to estimate emission factors in the transport sector.

Enhanced Channel Calibration for the Image Sensor of the TuMag Instrument.

The Sunrise missions consist of observing the magnetic field of the sun continuously for a few days from the stratosphere. In these missions, a balloon supporting a telescope and associated instrumentation, including a Tunable Magnetograph (TuMag), is lifted into the stratosphere. In the camera of this instrument, the image sensor sends its data to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using eight transmission channels.

Analyzing isolated blood vessel contraction in multi-well plates.

Organ baths have been successfully used for over a century to study the contractile or relaxation effects of drugs. Indeed, most of our understanding of vascular pharmacology is based on such in vitro studies. However, multiple parallel organ baths that require mechanical transduction consume relatively large amounts of drugs, gases, and buffers, and they take up a considerable bench space.

Measuring the contractile response of isolated tissue using an image sensor.

Isometric or isotonic transducers have traditionally been used to study the contractile/relaxation effects of drugs on isolated tissues. However, these mechanical sensors are expensive and delicate, and they are associated with certain disadvantages when performing experiments in the laboratory. In this paper, a method that uses an image sensor to measure the contractile effect of drugs on blood vessel rings and other luminal organs is presented.
