mHealth Market Exploitation Through the Analysis of the Related Intellectual Property Rights
No full textmHealth is one of the emerging markets offering numerous opportunities both for the involved stakeholders and for doctors to improve the quality of life of patients. For this reason, a smart analysis of patents and innovations in mHealth together with the identification of the next future challenges is necessary for companies to enter the market and exploit their know-how to match consumer demand. This paper focuses on the analysis of the Intellectual Property Rights in the field of mHealth systems to draw a reference knowledge framework of the mHealth scenario. An up-to-date detailed categorization, the geographical distribution and the identification of top players in mHealth are presented
A Didactic Experience in Designing Smart Systems for mHealth
No full textThe aim of this paper is to present a didactic experience in designing mobile health systems during a Bachelor Degree class in Industrial Design. The scope is to prove the role of Design in the innovation process and how its approach and methodologies connect research, innovation, and technology. As case studies, two projects are presented. In the first one, the students have developed a training suite for figure skating; the second one is related to the development of a system that detects and counts instruments and sterile dressings in the operating suites

Marco Santagata (Zocca, 28 aprile 1947 ‒ Pisa, 9 novembre 2020) è stato studioso di letteratura italiana e romanziere. A lungo docente all’Università di Pisa, è autore di studi fondamentali su Petrarca – culminati nel commento al Canzoniere (1996, 20042) –, su Dante, Boccaccio, la poesia del Quattrocento e Boiardo, e sulla tradizione lirica fino a Leopardi, Pascoli e d’Annunzio. A ciò ha affiancato una felice produzione narrativa: tra i suoi romanzi Il copista (2000), Il maestro dei santi pallidi (2002, Premio Campiello 2003), L'amore in sé (2006, Premio Stresa), Come donna innamorata (2015, finalista al Premio Strega). La sua poliedrica natura di intellettuale impegnato e curioso del mondo lo ha portato anche ad occuparsi attivamente di politica culturale e universitaria e di divulgazione.The book collects contributions on the figure and works of Marco Santagata, scholar of Italian literature and novelist.

Marco Santagata (Zocca (Modena), 28 April 1947 ‒ Pisa, 9 November 2020) was a scholar of Italian literature and novelist. Long a professor at the University of Pisa, he is the author of fundamental studies on Petrarch - culminating in the commentary on the "Canzoniere" (1996, 20042) -, on Dante, Boccaccio, fifteenth-century poetry and Boiardo, and on the lyric tradition up to Leopardi, Pascoli and d'Annunzio. Alongside this he has a successful narrative production: among his novels "Il copista" (2000), "Il maestro dei santi pallidi" (2002, Campiello Prize 2003), "L'amore in sé" (2006, Stresa Prize), "Come donna innamorata" (2015, finalist for the Strega Prize). His multifaceted nature as a engaged intellectual has also led him to actively deal with cultural and university politics and dissemination
EFFECT OF SIZE AND GEOMETRY ON THE ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF SMALL HYDROGENATED SILICON CLUSTERS
No full textWe have calculated the geometrical characteristics and electronic properties of small SinHm clusters, using the local-density approximation of density functional theory and the pseudopotential approach. Both for passivated crystal fragments and octasilacubane our results indicate nontrivial and so far unexpected effects of the cluster structure on the nature of the low-lying electronic excitations. Comparison with previous calculations as well as with experimental data, where available, is made. For the sake of comparison, calculations on (carbon) cubane are also presented

Wearable Biosensors for Glucose Monitoring in Sweat: A Patent Analysis
No full textMetabolic diseases are increasing in relevance both in health and the economy in most countries. In this direction, if gold-standard technologies are based on blood analysis, non-invasive glucose monitoring is a relevant and great challenge that has not yet been fully resolved. Sweat represents a more suitable medium for the non-invasive sensing and monitoring of glucose than other bodily fluids, such as saliva, tears, or urine. However, the measurement of glucose levels requires the use of highly precise and sensitive sensors, given the low glucose concentration in sweat. This paper provides an overview of the patent landscape related to wearable biosensors for the monitoring of glucose levels in sweat
Evaluation of the effects of roasting on chestnut flour
No full textDue to healthy and organoleptic properties of the chestnuts, nowadays, food products obtained from these nuts are increasingly important and various traditional recipes with chestnuts have been rediscovered. A simple cake of the past times, appreciated by children but at present not very well-known, was prepared by pressing chestnut flour in a little metal container, which was then heated until the flour became lightly brown-coloured. For such a purpose a thimble for sewing was suitable. By this way, a little and crumbly solid product, with an unmistakable aroma, was obtained. It was the result of chemical and physical changes caused by heat in the chestnut flour, partly similar to the modifications which take place in other flours, such as the rice flour, by effect of heating and partly due to peculiar components present in the chestnut flour. In order to carry out a preliminary study on such modifications, pressed samples of whole chestnut flour were heated until beginning of the roasting in such a way to imitate the preparation of the above mentioned cake. In a similar way were treated samples of rice flour after the addition of solutions extracted from chestnut flour with hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, water. By comparing aromatic and chemical characteristics of the samples before and after heating, a qualitative, preliminary estimate was made both of the effects of roasting on particular components present in the chestnut flour and of the way to separate them from the flour
