Abstract: A method of determining the ventilatory threshold of a subject in real time during an exercise session wherein data relating to physiological parameters of said subject are acquired and stored in function of time during the exercise session, said data including at least data indicative of the respiration and of the heart beat rate.

Abstract: One or more imaging device(s) inside a car that look(s) at occupants (driver, front passenger, rear passengers) and cover(s) multiple security, comfort, driver assistance and occupant state related functions, wherein the imaging device includes an illumination in the near infrared. An imaging device inside the car that can measure occupants' vital signs (heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen saturation) using contactless imaging photoplethysmography.

Abstract: A gas detector (100) for remote gas detection in a target region (106) comprises a light source (102) for emitting a light beam (110) into the target region and a light sensor (112) for sensing light returning therefrom. The light beam is wavelength-modulated around an absorption wavelength of the gas. A controller (108) is operatively connected to the light sensor for detecting a presence of the gas on a path of the light beam based on returning light sensed by the light sensor. An indicator (124) that is operatively connected to the controller indicates the presence of the gas. A scanning device (104) is arranged with respect to the light source so as to scan the light beam through the target region, and with respect to the light sensor so that the light sensor receives the returning light via the scanning device. The indicator cooperates with the scanning device to indicate a position of the gas in the target region.

Abstract: An EL lamp includes a substrate, which is transparent in at least a light-emitting region and an electrode assembly with a transparent electrode layer and a back electrode layer, which face each other in the light-emitting region. A phosphorescent layer and a dielectric layer are arranged between the transparent electrode layer and the back electrode layer. A first connection line is provided for connecting the transparent electrode to a driver circuit and a second connection line is provided for connecting the back electrode to a driver circuit. According to an important aspect of the invention, the EL lamp comprises an insulating layer for insulating the second connection line at least locally from the back electrode and/or, if the transparent electrode extends into a peripheral region of the EL lamp, for insulating the second connection line from the transparent electrode.

Abstract: A leakage detection patch (10) for a modified atmosphere package comprises a substrate (12) and an oxygen sensing spot (14) arranged thereon. The oxygen sensing spot contains an oxygen indicator, which may be interrogated remotely An adhesive strip (16) for fixing the leakage detection patch to a package surface of the 5 modified atmosphere package extends peripherally around the sensing spot. The leakage detection patch further comprises means (20) enabling oxygen diffusion between the modified atmosphere and the oxygen sensing spot.
