Abstract: A sensor system for inspecting oil, which comprises a micromechanical cell defining a cavity for allowing the entrance/outcome of oil within/from said cavity through respective inlet and outlet. Inside said micromechanical cell there are: first and second transparent protective means; a light source configured to emit incoherent light towards said oil; an opaque plate disposed between said light source and said first transparent protective means, having a pin-hole configured to permit the passage of illumination towards said oil, said pin-hole being located at a first distance from a focussing plane defined by said oil in cavity; an image sensor to capture images of the oil disposed within said cavity located at a second distance from said focussing plane defined by said oil in cavity.

Abstract: A system (1) for detecting microscopic objects located in a flowing fluid. It comprises a lighting system (205, 305) comprising at least one LED diode (605) for supplying light to the flowing fluid; an image capture system (201, 601) configured to capture a sequence of images of the fluid. The image capture system comprises a camera comprising a plurality of pixels. The sequence of images is processed and the presence and shape of microscopic objects is determined. The lighting system (205, 305) is configured to supply high power light pulses having amplitude Io? and very short time duration TON, the time instant at which said pulses are triggered being synchronized with the time instants at which pixels in the image capture system (601) start to capture an image frame.

Abstract: A system for monitoring at least one parameter of a fluid contained in a container includes a measuring device based on near-infrared spectroscopy designed to be submerged in the cited fluid to be monitored and to take measurements of the fluid. The measuring device includes a measuring area. The monitoring system includes a flotation system joined to the measuring device. The flotation system is arranged, during the use of the monitoring system, floating on the fluid to be monitored such that the measuring area of the measuring device is submerged in the fluid at a constant depth with respect to the level of fluid in the container, such that all the measurements taken by the measuring device are taken at the same depth with respect to the level of the fluid.
