This disclosure relates to an in-air sonar system for determining location and velocity information of objects in an environment, the in- air sonar system comprising at least two emitters forming an emitter array (111) to emit respective sound signals into the environment; at least two receivers forming a receiver array (112) to receive sound signals from the environment; and a processing unit (120) to perform: obtaining, from the receivers (112), respective received sound signals comprising the emitted sound signal reflected from objects (13, 14, 15) in the environment; calculating, from the ...

The invention provides in an electron microscopy grid, comprising: - a perforated substrate; - a support film on the perforated substrate; - a mixture of different linker molecules according to Structure (I), wherein AG is an anchoring group, for anchoring the linker molecule to the solid support; BU is a binding unit, for binding to the analyte; L1 is a first linear linker section; L2 is a second linear linker section; α is the angle between the linear linker section L1 and the linear linker section L2; AS is an angled linker section, connecting the linear linker section L1 and the linear ...

An integrated wavelength-selective filter device (10; 20; 30; 40) comprises a first optical element (14) for directing received radiation into a direction defined by a first angle (a), and a second optical element (15) being a diffractive element configured diffracting said directed radiation under a second angle. The second angle is such that for a single reference wavelength the diffracted radiation is directed into a propagation medium for advancing therein towards a predetermined position on the first optical element or on a further optical element (14a) for filtering radiation having a ...

In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for interpreting an electrochemical response, comprising the steps of: (a) providing an electrochemical response which is baseline-corrected; (b) identifying in the electrochemical response one or more peaks which exceed a predetermined height threshold and a predetermined prominence threshold, each identified peak having a peak position; (c) providing a predetermined peak position range for each of a plurality of analytes; and (d) attributing one or more of the analytes to the peaks identified in step b, by—for ...

The present invention provides a post-fabrication modification approach for the fabrication of colored and chromic materials and sensors using plasma surface modification to covalently bind the coloring agent to the substrate, thus avoiding leaching of the dye. Advantageously, in said methods, said coloring agent is a dye or pigment linked to a radical sensitive functional group, such as an alkenyl or alkynyl functional group, and is applied to the substrate prior to the gas plasma treatment. The methods envisaged herein are generic in nature, which allow the covalent immobilization of ...

An integrated photoacoustic transducer, sensing system and method for assisting in sensing a concentration of a species (108) in a fluid are disclosed. The integrated photoacoustic transducer comprises a waveguide structure (101) which is configured as an optical resonator for enhancing a modulated radiation signal. The waveguide structure (101) has an optical resonance which is spectrally overlapping a spectral absorption line or band of the species. The photoacoustic transducer further comprises at least one acoustic cavity (104) formed in a portion of the waveguide structure (101) and ...
