The Technology provides a new and outstanding method for the enhancement of the
quality of dim images. Inspired by the spatial integration of visual information in
nocturnal insects, the algorithm successfully enhances the contrast and brightness of
dim images and removes noise while preserving fine details and object contours. The
patented system is applicable to field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) or image
processors, which offer parallel computing capabilities. A wide variety of capabilities
and markets from automotive sector to the enhancement of diagnostic images can be
addressed.

The Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg, Germany, developed a method which markedly improved the quantitative determination of hydrogen. A so-called TPR is conducted by coupling a flame ionization detector (FID) to a methanizer. Adding a certain amount of carbon monoxide (CO) and an excess amount of hydrogen immediately upstream of the FID, CO will react with hydrogen to yield methane. Methane produces a FID signal which is proportional to the amount of hydrogen in the sample.
As yet there has been no satisfactory and easy method to determine the concentrations of substances dissolved in liquid product flows. Previous methods using sensors were not sufficiently reliable and not designed for flow-through systems. Or they required that the analyte whose concentration was to be determined was already known. The device according to invention makes it easy to determine the analyte in a liquid phase both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg, Germany, developed a method which serves the purpose of identifying and quantifying substances (proteins, amino acids, drug constituents) in solution.
Researchers from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, developed a laser cantilever anemometer (LCA) which utilizes the laser pointer principle of a scanning-force microscope to capture the velocity and the angle of fluid flows.
