A completely renewable baseload electricity generation system is proposed by combining wind energy, compressed air energy storage, and biomass gasification. This system can eliminate problems associated with wind intermittency and provide a source of electrical energy functionally equivalent to a large fossil or nuclear power plant. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) can be economically deplo...

In this work, we present and analyse the flow-sensing part of a recently-developed multisensor in LTCC (lowtemperature co-fired ceramic) technology; this device integrates flow / pressure / temperature sensing and is designed for diagnostics monitoring of standard industrial compressed air circuits and devices such as valves and actuators. In this prototype, flow is sensed using the constant-te...

In OPCAB (off-pump coronary artery bypass) operations, development of cardiac arrest during the distal anastomosis to obtuse marginal coronary artery leads to significantly low blood pressure in the ascending aorta. Therefore, blowing of compressed air in high flow on not-slinged coronary artery may cause air mobilization from the coronary artery system into the ascending aorta that may result ...

We present a multisensor designed for industrial compressed air diagnostics and combining the measurement of pressure, flow, and temperature, integrated with the corresponding signal conditioning electronics in a single low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) package. The developed sensor may be soldered onto an integrated electro-fluidic platform by using standard surface mount device (SMD) te...

The advances in air quality modelling have been substantial in the last decade. Nowadays, air quality modelling systems are capable to provide accurate information on the impact of different sources in relation to the total air pollution concentrations in real-time and in forecasting modes. In this contribution we show the results of the impact of five different industrial plants on a mesoscale...
