Abstract: A syringe-plug (1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) for placement in a sample chamber inlet of a cartridge for analytic assays, the syringe-plug comprising a tank (2) pre-filled with a liquid, the tank (2) having a proximal end (2a) and a distal end (2b), the proximal end (2a) of the tank (2) being closed by a piston (3) movable towards said distal end (2b), the distal end (2b) of the tank (2) being closed by a pierceable membrane (6) and the piston (3) being provided on its distal end (2b) side with a rod (4) having a piercing part (5) at its end enabling to pierce the membrane (6), wherein the proximal end (2a) of the tank (2) is provided with a plug part (7) surrounding the proximal end (2a) of the tank (2), the plug part (7) comprising external sealing means in the form of: at least one retaining rib (7b) surrounding a part of the plug part (7) circumference and comprising at least one gap (8b): at least one scaling rib (7c) surrounding the whole plug part (7) circumference: a thrust flange (7d) extending to the outside o

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring remote infrastructure networks. The method comprises the steps of collecting spatially referenced data as physical of an area containing a remote infrastructure network, identifying the remote infrastructure network in the collected physical data, and building a parametrized model of the remote infrastructure network based on the physical data and on operational data, the parametrized model including a spatially referenced model of said remote infrastructure network. Further, the method comprises the steps of storing the parametrized model and updating the parametrized model by assigning updated physical data and/or operational data associated with the remote infrastructure network to at least one parameter of the parametrized model.

Abstract: An image acquisition unit for obtaining data to generate at least one three-dimensional representation of at least one underwater structure is disclosed. The image acquisition unit includes a unit body, a plurality of cameras, a first laser light device, and a second laser light device. The first laser light device can operate based on a first illumination setting. The second laser light device can operate based a second illumination setting. The first and second cameras can be configured to capture light during the first illumination setting and generate a first set of data representative of the first laser projecting on the at least one underwater structure at a predetermined scan rate. The third and fourth cameras can be configured to capture light during the second illumination setting and generate a second set of data representative of the second laser projecting on the at least one underwater structure at the predetermined scan rate.
