Bio-spectroscopic sensing

Bio-Inspired Actuation and Sensing

The superb ability of animals to negotiate rough terrain has caused engineers to focus on mechanical properties of muscle and other unique features in order to design improved robots for exploration. This paper reviews recent work in artificial muscle actuators, as well as a new sensor based on a robotic model of the muscle spindle cell. The actuator contains a pneumatic force generator in para...

Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles in Bio- Sensing and Bio-Imaging

Interactive Multi-media Performance with Bio-sensing and Bio-feedback

This is a report of research and some experimental applications of human-computer interaction in multi-media performing arts. The human performer and the computer systems perform computer graphic and computer music interactively in realtime. In general, many sensors are used for the interactive communication as interfaces, and the performer receives the output of the system via graphics, sounds...

Spectroscopic Sensing of Cancer and Cancer Therapy

Various types of optical spectroscopy have been investigated as methods to effect a non-invasive, real-time in-situ assessment of tissue pathology. All of these methods have one basic principle in common: the optical spectrum of a tissue contains information about the biochemical composition and/or the structure of the tissue, and that information conveys diagnostic information. The biochemical...

Light assisted antibody immobilization for bio-sensing

Ultrashort UV pulses at 258 nm with repetition rate of 10 kHz have been used to irradiate buffer solution of antibody. The tryptophan residues strongly absorb this radiation thus becoming capable to disrupt the disulfide bridges located next to them. Due to their high reactivity the opened bridges can anchor a gold plate more efficiently than other sites of the macromolecule giving rise to pref...
