Ultrasound induced fluorescence of nanoscale liposome contrast agents (2016)
Journal Article

A new imaging contrast agent is reported that provides an increased fluorescent signal upon application of ultrasound (US). Liposomes containing lipids labelled with pyrene were optically excited and the excimer fluorescence emission intensity was de...

Highly sensitive contact pressure measurements using FBG patch in endotracheal tube cuff (2016)
Journal Article

A method for measuring the contact pressure between an endotracheal tube cuff and the trachea was designed and developed by using a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) based optical fibre sensor. The FBG sensor is encased in an epoxy based UV-cured cuboid patc... Read More about Highly sensitive contact pressure measurements using FBG patch in endotracheal tube cuff.

Simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements in a mechanical ventilator using an optical fibre sensor (2016)
Journal Article

An optical fibre sensor for simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements consisting of one fibre Bragg grating (FBG) to measure temperature and a mesoporous film of bilayers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride)(PAH) and silica (SiO2) nanoparticles... Read More about Simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements in a mechanical ventilator using an optical fibre sensor.

Polymeric fibre optic sensor based on a SiO2 nanoparticle film for humidity sensing on wounds (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 SPIE. Optical fibre sensors have the potential to be incorporated into wound dressings to monitor moisture and predict healing without the need to remove the dressing. A low cost polymeric optical fibre humidity sensor based on evanescent wave... Read More about Polymeric fibre optic sensor based on a SiO2 nanoparticle film for humidity sensing on wounds.

Comparison of laser Doppler and laser speckle contrast imaging using a concurrent processing system (2016)
Journal Article

Full field laser Doppler imaging (LDI) and single exposure laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) are directly compared using a novel instrument which can concurrently image blood flow using both LDI and LSCI signal processing. Incorporating a commerc... Read More about Comparison of laser Doppler and laser speckle contrast imaging using a concurrent processing system.

Characterization and use of a fiber optic sensor based on PAH/SiO2 film for humidity sensing in ventilator care equipment (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: To develop a compact probe that can be used to monitor humidity in ventilator care equipment. A mesoporous film of alternate layers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (bilayers), deposited onto an optic...
