TRIDENT: project, updates, and tech insights for long-term deep-sea monitoring

TRIDENT is developing a new architecture and technological solutions for long-term deep-sea monitoring. In December 2024, TRIDENT had a set of prototypes ready and undergoing further testing, prototypes that will help ensure these new technological approaches. These will provide a new tactic to deep-sea EIA since they intend to support the long-term deployment of an autonomous, dynamic, robotic set of assets, r...

Outcome measures frequently used to assess muscle strength in patients with myo...

Measurement of muscle strength is fundamental for the management of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Nevertheless, guidance on this topic is somewhat limited due to heterogeneous outcome measures used. This systematic literature review aimed to summarize the most frequent outcome measures to assess muscle strength in patients with DM1. We searched on Pubmed, Web of Science and Embase databases. Ob...

Optical sensor based on hybrid FBG/titanium dioxide coated LPFG for monitoring ...

A hybrid optical sensing scheme based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) combined with a titanium dioxide coated long period fiber grating (LPFG) for monitoring organic solvents in high refractive index edible oils is reported. In order to investigate and optimize the sensor performance, two different FBG/LPFG interrogation systems were investigated. The readout of the sensor was implemented using either the wavele...

Characterization of zinc oxide coated optical fiber long period gratingswith im...

A fiber-optic refractive index (RI) sensor based on a long period fiber grating (LPFG) coated with a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film was fabricated and characterized. A method to overcoat the LPFG’s with a homogeneous ZnO thin films was developed. Characterization of ZnO thin films, deposited simultaneously on silicon (Si) planar substrates, was performed using Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive X-ray S...

Monitoring of oxidation phases of copper thin films using long period fiber gra...

Long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) were used to monitor the characteristics of copper (Cu) thin films when annealed in air atmosphere up to ∼680◦C. The wavelength and the optical power shift of the resonant bands of the LPFGs when coated with the Cu thin films, were measured as a function of the annealing temperature, and were found to exhibit a different evolution comparing to a bare LPFGs. Thin films of Cu de...
