Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a device for measurement of the rigidity and/or tumescence of a penis during a penile tumescent event. In particular, the device of the present invention comprises axial and/or radial monitoring means for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and/or rigidity of a penis during a penile tumescent event. The present invention further also provides methods for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and rigidity of a penis.
Abstract:
The analysis of data from fluorescence microscopy is disclosed, more especially fluorescence fluctuation microscopy, being a correlation analysis of fluctuation of the fluorescence intensity enabling quantitative and dynamic information capture. In particular the analysis is described of characteristics such as concentrations, mobility, interactions, stoichiometry, etc. of mixtures of particles that are fluorescently labeled with differently colored fluorophores having different excitation/emission spectra using fluctuation microscopy.
Abstract:
The invention relates to telecommunication methods, computer program products, non-transitory machine readable storage medium, graphical user interfaces, usage of those methods and devices, in particular for communicating a message from a first location to a second location, the method comprising the steps of: (i) inputting on a first processing engine on said first location the message; (ii) visually deforming the message; (iii) transmitting said deformed message to said second location; (iv) receiving on a second processing engine said deformed message and displaying it; whereby the degree of deforming in the first processing engine is selected to still allow recognition of the message on the display by a second user of the second processing engine while substantially increasing the processing effort to be used for automated recognition of the message by third processing engines when they would also come in the possession of the deformed message.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to selective detection of monomeric C-reactive protein (CRP) in a body fluid sample. In particular, the present invention provides the use of a DNA aptamer for the detection of monomeric CRP in an isolated sample of body fluid from a subject. The invention also provides DNA aptamers that specifically bind to monomeric CRP. Finally, also a detection method for monomeric CRP in a body fluid sample using a DNA aptamer and a kit for the detection of monomeric CRP in a body fluid sample are described.
Abstract:
A method for interconnecting photovoltaic cells in order to form a photovoltaic cells assembly is provided. Said method comprises the steps of providing a first photovoltaic cell (20) comprising a first surface (22a), a second surface (22b), a first edge (21a), and a second edge (21b), arranging a conductive wire (2) on the first surface of the first photovoltaic cell according to a certain pattern, and attaching the conductive wire to the first surface of the first photovoltaic cell with the aid of a first non-conductive yarn (5a) by stitching in the area of the first edge of the first photovoltaic cell according to a first stitch type.
