Abstract: The present invention is related, but is not restricted, to the field of the study or analysis of materials by determining the chemical or physical properties thereof, in particular the field of the investigation or analysis of materials by using electromagnetic waves, specifically providing a method from measuring internal stress in tires, using a ferromagnetic material. The invention provides a method for measuring internal stress in a tire, characterized in that it comprises: incorporating into the tire a material that is a combination of a rubber matrix and a plurality of microwires made of a ferromagnetic material; irradiating said tire with electromagnetic waves by means of a transmitting antenna; receiving an electromagnetic wave absorption response from said tire by means of a receiving antenna; and determining the internal stress of the tire by means of a processor operatively connected to said receiving antenna, on the basis of the electromagnetic wave absorption response.

Abstract: A system including a sample receptacle configured to receive a test sample and a test strip coupled to the sample receptacle is provided. The test strip configured to generate a signal based on a concentration of a target analyte in the test sample. The system also includes a detector to generate a transduced signal based on the signal and a computer to receive a transduced signal. The computer further determines the concentration of the target analyte in the test sample. For this, the computer retrieves the transduced signal from the detector at multiple time points to determine a signal rate based on a signal value for the time points, and to determine the concentration of the target analyte based on the signal rate and a model. A method and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to use the above system are also provided.
