Abstract: A system for overcoming fog (freezing of gait) episodes, comprising an acquisition device/component/or the like of at least one FOG-related motor datum of a subject affected by FOG episodes, said acquisition device/component being mounted on at least one piece of footwear worn by said subject; a detection device/component/or the like, separate from said acquisition device/component, operationally connected to the latter and configured to detect at least one FOG episode depending on at least the detected motor datum; an emission device/component/or the like for emitting at least one sensory stimulus perceivable by said subject as a result of the detection of the FOG episode and which allows the subject to overcome such FOG episode, worn by said subject, and operationally connected to said detection device/component, the latter being configured to signal to said emission device/component the detection of the FOG episode.

Abstract: A system comprising at least one inertial motion sensor, an integrated circuit including an antenna to enable radio communication with other devices; at least one wearable physiological signal detector, an integrated circuit including an antenna to enable radio communication with other devices, capable of detecting/transmitting at least one heart rate datum of the wearer; at least one remote data collection unit capable of communicating with the motion sensor and the physiological parameter detector, of securely storing and processing the data transmitted to it by the latter; at least one operator interface, connected via radio to the motion sensor, to the physiological parameter detector and to the remote data collection unit; synchronization device/unit/component or the like for synchronizing the signals transmitted and received by the different elements; wherein at least one inertial motion sensor comprises connection device/unit/component or the like for the connection to a respective footwear of a patien

Abstract: Pure boric acid is obtained by a high-yield method with a non-pollutant effluent discharge, comprising the following stages carried out in succession:a) dissolving impure boric acid in an aqueous vehicle to form an aqueous solution of impure boric acid;b) separating pure crystalline boric acid from the aqueous solution of stage a) by crystallization;c) treating the discharge liquor from the crystallization of stage b) firstly through a strong cation exchange resin and then through a weak anion exchange resin;d) recycling the discharge liquor treated in stage c) for use as the aqueous vehicle for dissolving the impure boric acid in stage a).
