TECHNOLOGY AND COVID 19





a. New Sensor for Ventilator

  As a sensor technology manufacturer, Sensirion has made a giant development leap and is now introducing the new flow sensor SFM3019 to the market.

The flow sensor SFM3019 is available in a digital and an analogue version. Like all other sensors in medical technology, the SFM3019 is based on Sensirion’s established CMOSens technology.

The digital version can measure both oxygen and air and a mixture of both elements with the highest accuracy.


b. AI assisted screening for covid 19 using CT image

The Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Emergency Response Epidemiology Team (NCPERT), operating in China, built and deployed Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a preliminary analysis of COVID-19 in lung scans.

NCPERT took advantage of end-to-end deep neural network models.
NCPERT “developed a three-stage annotation and quality control pipeline.

the NCPERT team of Chinese engineers, scientists, and physicians that built this AI model for screening CT lung scans for the presence of COVID-19 can be found

Building and deploying a medical AI system in four weeks.”




c.  Help of UV-C

Exposure to UV-C light of 254 nm for a period of 10 minutes was found to deactivate the Corona virus, in comparison to other wavelengths of UV light.


Portable ultraviolet units are already being used to sterilize surfaces in hospital rooms and subway cars, but these can be used only when those spaces are unoccupied.

Ultraviolet light of between 200-280 nm wavelength is known as UV-C and is known to be harmful to cell tissue.


Scientists are now also exploring what is called far UVC — an even shorter, higher energy wavelength — that appears to be even safer and which could be used to bath a room continuously, disinfecting surfaces in addition to destroying pathogens in the air.

And there are endless technology helping to fight this pandemic. And very difficult to list it out at one page.

A non-polluting fossil fuel technology

my 2nd post dated: 3/1/18 Scientists are developing a novel technology that may economically convert fossil fuels and biomass into useful products, including electricity, without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Engineers at the Ohio State University in the US devised a process that transforms shale gas into products such as methanol and gasoline- all while consuming carbon dioxide. Te process can also be applied to coal and biomass to produce useful products, researchers wrote in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. Under certain conditions, the technology consumes all the carbon dioxide it produces plus additional carbon dioxide from an outside source, they said. The researchers have also found a way to greatly extend the lifetime of the particles that enable the chemical reaction to transform coal or other fuels to electricity and useful products over a length of time that is useful for commercial operation. The same team has discovered and patent...

PUNE EV Startup' E-cycles Run 1000 km

Image
 * According to data by the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), there was a 20% rise in domestic sales of EVs, despite the challenging fiscal year of 2020. * Nexzu Mobility, pune based company Started by Atulya Mittal in 2015. Previously named as Avan Motors, sells e-cycles and e-scooters. * According to Atulya Mittal on the single charge of rs.10, their e-cycles can run for 150km and scooters for 45km. For rs.50, the cycles can run up to 1000km. * Rahul Shonak, COO, NEXZU Mobility said their electric cycles are designed, engineered and manufactured in india. * Price between Rs.31,983 and Rs. 42,317, The electric bicycles are fitted with a 36 volt, 250-watt brushless DC motor and 26-inch nylon tyres.  *the e-cycles have two variants, Rompus+, and Roadlark. it has a life cycle of 750 charges, both the cycles take 3-4 hours for a full charge. *The Company's plant in Chakan in Pune has a capacity to manufacture 50,000

HOT SOLAR CELLS: 2017 TECHNOLOGIES

Image
BY CONVERTING HEAT TO FOCUSED BEAMS OF LIGHT, A NEW SOLAR DEVICE COULD CREATE CHEAP AND CONTINUOUS POWER. AVAILABILITY: 10 TO 15 YEARS Solar Panels cover a growing number of rooftops, but even decades after they were first developed, the slabs of silicon remain bulk, expensive, and inefficient. Fundamental limitations prevent these these conventional photovoltaics from absorbing more than a fraction of the energy in sunlight. A team of scientists has built a different sort of solar energy device that uses inventive engineering and advances in material science to capture far more of the sun's energy. The trick is to first turn sunlight into heat and then convert it back into light, but now focused within the spectrum that solar cells can use. While various researchers have been working for years on so-called solar thermophotovoltaics, the device is the first one to absorb more energy than its photovoltaic cell alone, demonstrating that the approach could dramatically increas...
