Detecting Microstimulated Particles for Medical Advances

The invention comprises a method for the improved localisation of
magnetised particles, like e.g. nano particles for medical.
This movement can be very sensitively detected by Radar to
identify the local distribution of the particles. This detection can be
accomplished with a very high resolution since the signals which
indicate the movement are detectable even below the noise floor.
This method has been developed for the early recognition of cancer.

MINT: Precision Indoor Navigation With Minimal Infrastructure

Future and emerging indoor localization systems will rely on multiple different sensor systems to estimate the position of a device, such as accelerometers and radios available on smartphones. MINT uses a maximum of position-related Information embedded in a radio signal. Not only the direct signal path between an anchor (the infrastructure) and the mobile, but also deterministic reflections caused by building elements can be exploited. As a consequence, less infrastructure is needed: A single base station can already allow for centimeter-level localization. The uncertainty of the information contained in the reflected signals is learned automatically, which is needed for optimally processing the available information. With our real-time demonstration system of MINT, we consistently achieve accuracies better than 5cm, i.e. robust and accurate indoor localization is provided.

Thread-Speedometer – Measuring speed and length of a running yarn

The Thread-Speedometer is a non-contact measuring method with which the speed and the length of a running thread can be measured. The invention finds particular application in the textile industry for the monitoring of ongoing production processes. With the Thread-Speedometer running processes can be accurately monitored, whereby wastage and defects in the production can be significantly reduced. For the Thread-Speedometer patents were granted in several European and other countries. On behalf of the University of Applied Sciences Niederrhein, we offer interested companies the possibility of licensing and the advancement of technology. Based on prototypes, the functionality of the technology can be demonstrated.
