Infection is a major prompt of chronic wounds, increasing the pH on the injury tissues. Thus, pH can be used as trigger for antimicrobial agents' delivery, preventing chronic wounds. Hence, the present work aimed to develop a hydrogel with drug delivery capacity, modulated by environmental pH. Chitosan was used as electrolyte monomer and it was crosslinked with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and 2-hydroxypropyl-...

Recent developments in the factory floor technologies together with the widespread use of TCP/IP and the Internet are increasing the eagerness to support a new wide class of devices and applications, such as industrial multimedia applications, in factory floor networks. This paper presents how this new field of applications can be put into practice, via a manufacturing cell field trial being implemented. This m...
This paper summarises the most important solutions that have emerged from the work carried out by our team within the framework of the EU (IST-1999-11316) project RFieldbus - High Performance Wireless Fieldbus in Industrial Multimedia-Related Environment. Within this project, Profibus was chosen as the fieldbus platform. Essentially, extensions to the current Profibus standard are being developed in order to pr...
Technological developments are pulling fieldbus networks to support a new wide class of applications, such as industrial multimedia applications. To enable its use in this kind of applications the TCP/IP suite of protocols can be integrated within a fieldbus stack, leading to a dual-stack approach that is briefly outlined in the paper. One important requirement that must be fulfilled by this approach is that th...
