Continuous monitoring of blood pCO₂ in extracorporeal circulation (ECC) would significantly support clinical decisions. Unfortunately, this is generally not possible during routine ECC. One of the aspects that limits the possibility of monitoring blood pCO₂ in real-time is biocompatibility. This study investigates the performance of a “prototype” fluorescent pCO₂ sensor (MS2), designed exploiting a blood-compatible gas-permeable membrane to isolate the sensing chemistry from the patient’s blood and the “off-label” use of a commercial optical CO₂ sensor, namely, the MCR-O1P1C1 by PreSens....

The spectral response of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) is highly sensitive to temperature, making them ideal for sensors in industrial, structural, and medical applications. Although FBG thermometers are more expensive and require complex interrogation systems, their immunity to electromagnetic interference makes them the preferred option in challenging environments. In such cases, FBG sensors' unique benefits outweigh their typically lower accuracy. However, there are situations where high measurement accuracy is critical. This paper focuses on using FBG-based sensors for temperature...

Exhaled breath analysis is a promising non-invasive approach for detecting disease-related biomarkers, including nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), which is associated with airway inflammation. A compact photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) system was developed using a 405 nm LED source and a resonant acoustic chamber optimized for NO₂ detection. Focused optical excitation enhances localized absorption, generating an acoustic signal detected by a MEMS microphone. The system demonstrated a good response to 50 ppm gas variation, supporting its suitability for low-cost breath analysis applications.

Nowadays, a multitude of sensors collect and process enormous amounts of measurement data. Depending on the complexity, these tasks are usually performed by microcontrollers, which read out the sensor data, pre-process it, and then transmit it to a PC, for example. Communication between the microcontroller and PC is often complex, but of central importance. Equally important is the subsequent processing and interpretation of the acquired measurement data. Using the example of an optical distance measurement, a hardware module was developed that can establish an interface to a measuring...

This paper presents a novel approach for high-precision optical 3D shape measurement of translucent objects based on phase-shifting fringe pattern projection. To address the problem of subsurface scattering, the concept of separating direct and global light components is integrated into fringe projection to enable phase value recovery solely from direct light components. In the proposed approach, the fringe patterns are modulated with shifting perpendicular high-frequency stripes, and a sparsification of these fringe-stripe patterns is applied to reduce residual phase crosstalk. Furthermore,...

This work presents a machine learning pipeline for construction waste sorting utilizing spectral imaging and comparing different dimensionality reduction methods. Aiming to correctly classify over 90% of objects in our dataset, we applied band selection methods based on Mutual Information, Fisher’s Score, Sequential Forward Selection, and Sequential Backward Selection. In addition, we examined Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Categorical Maximum Spectral Difference. The performance of each pipeline is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 Score, and AUC-ROC.

This paper presents a method for detecting soft anomalies in Ethernet cables using time domain signal analysis and machine learning. A dataset consisting of oscilloscope captured signals from a CAT5e cable using passive measurement technique under four controlled scenarios was used. To reduce data dimensionality while preserving statistical characteristics, a histogram-based feature extraction process was applied prior to classification. Classification was performed using Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms under various downsampling rates. Models...

Within metrology new and innovative digital ways of working are being implemented that can offer great benefits to the future science, technology and administration of the area. How metrological knowledge is stored and hence processed will play an important role in maximizing the benefits of digitalisation. In this work a high level overview of current and future ways of storing scientific knowledge, the advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Finally, a potential optimal route to scientific knowledge storage for metrology is proposed.

The use of digital tools such as digital twins is spreading throughout the O&G sector. For integrity management, digital models of relevant asset degradation phenomena have been used to estimate and predict its health, aiming to improve maintenance planning and to provide information about the risk of failure and its evolution over time. The input data of models for O&G integrity monitoring are commonly found in different databases and present very different characteristics, such as sampling rate, temporal stability and variability, influencing the data quality in different ways. This work...

Reference materials (RMs) are essential for traceable and reliable measurements in science and industry, yet their certificate/document remain largely paper-based. The Digital Reference Material Document (DRMD) project at BAM introduces a transformative approach by converting traditional RM certificates/documents into machine-interpretable, XML-based digital assets. Building on the Digital Calibration Certificate framework, DRMDs encode ISO 33401 requirements and integrate semantic standards like D-SI and material identifiers. These digital documents support automated data exchange,...
