Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor circuit, including a first connection, a second connection and a bridge circuit, which is connected between the first connection and the second connection, having a plurality of bridge resistors with a respective temperature coefficient. The bridge circuit has a measurement sensitivity and a temperature coefficient of measurement sensitivity and a bridge offset with a temperature coefficient of the bridge offset. The sensor circuit further includes at least one compensating resistor, which is connected between the first connection and the second connection, with a temperature coefficient that differs from the temperature coefficient of the bridge resistors.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the use of a machine component includes a sensor configured to measure at least one operating parameter of the machine component and produce a first output signal indicative of the measured operating parameter, a control unit configured to determine information about a use of the machine based on the received first output signal and to produce a second output signal indicative of the use of the machine, and a service unit configured to receive the second output signal and to permit a continuation of existing services for the machine component and/or to provide further services for the machine component based on the second output signal.

Abstract: Invoice determination system for determining an invoice for at least an item bought by a client providing at least a means for measurement linked to the at least one item, a first processing means connected to a first memory storing a client database, and a second processing means connected to a second memory storing a supplier database, each item being identified by a unique identifier, the first and second processing means being configured to execute a process providing the necessary steps in order to emit an invoice including the price to be charged to the client.

Abstract: A temperature-regulated chemi-resistive gas sensor includes a sensor surface including a chemically sensitive sensor layer including an active material for adsorbing and desorbing gas molecules of an analyte gas. A predetermined time-continuous periodic temperature profile is applied for periodically heating the sensor surface. An electrical sensor layer conductance signal is determined and time windows are applied to the sensor layer conductance signal. For one or more of the time windows, discrete frequency spectrum data of the sensor layer conductance signal is obtained, and a current gas concentration of the analyte gas is determined based on the obtained discrete frequency spectrum data.

Abstract: A method and composition for the identification of biomolecule in a sample are disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a coated capture membrane stack comprising a plurality of capture membranes with each capture membrane coated with a different peptide. The membrane stack is exposed to a sample, and, after a given amount of time for the sample to permeate the membrane stack, the membrane stack is removed from the sample carrier and the capture membrane to which the biomolecule adheres is identified.
