Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for measurement of the rigidity and/or tumescence of a penis during a penile tumescent event. In particular, the device of the present invention comprises axial and/or radial monitoring means for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and/or rigidity of a penis during a penile tumescent event. The present invention further also provides methods for monitoring the axial and/or radial tumescence and rigidity of a penis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for characterizing and identifying a bioparticle. The method comprises introducing the sample to a substrate having a surface comprising a plurality of binding sites whereon bioparticles can be bound, determining, for at least one temperature, data representative for the interface thermal resistance of the surface of the substrate sufficiently long to include the detachment process of the bioparticles, and deriving, for the at least one temperature, a bioparticle retention time and/or detachment rate from the data representative for the interface thermal resistance data. The present disclosure also relates to a bio-sensing device suitable for the detection and/or characterization of target bioparticles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method (1) for creating a diamond structure (38) on a substrate (31). This method comprises the steps of providing (2) a substrate (31), providing (3) a mold (25) on the substrate (31), providing (4) a diamond seed solution (34) in the mold (25), and removing (6) the mold (25) such that a diamond structure (38) remains on the substrate (31).

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with monitoring systems (1) for medical liquid dispensing devices. The systems are intended for use in any medical setting wherein a medical liquid container (4), such as an infusion bag with fluid, is to be infused into a patient and are aimed at reducing the need for visual checking by nurses or other medical assistants. This is achieved by a combination of an identification unit (2), which identifies a medical liquid container and optionally the patient to be treated, a weight monitoring unit, which measures the weight of the medical liquid container when liquid is dispensed therefrom, and a processing unit (3), which processes and/or stores data that are acquired from the identification unit and the weight monitoring unit.
