Also a method comprising: i) generating a signal which represents the glucose concentration measured in the medium; ii) filtering the signal generated; iii) applying a set of local estimation models, to the previous signal, obtaining a set of local plasma glucose estimates; iv) applying a weighting to each one of the local estimates previously obtained; v) estimating a plasma glucose concentration by the sum of the weighted local estimates obtained in the previous step; vi) correcting the signal obtained from the previous step from reference glycemia measurements and obtaining the final plasma glucose estimate. | 08-28-2014 |
20140178004 | TUNEABLE AWG DEVICE FOR MULTIPLEXING AND DEMULTIPLEXING SIGNALS AND METHOD FOR TUNING SAID DEVICE - The invention relates to a tuneable AWG device for multiplexing and demultiplexing signals and to a method for tuning said device. The inventive device is an integrated-optic device which enables a signal made up of a plurality of signals multiplexed by wavelength division to be injected through an input port such as to obtain, at the output, a demultiplexed signal with each component exiting via a different port. If the multiplexed signal is changed to another input port, the demultiplexed signals appear at different ports, but always according to a pre-determined relationship. The invention makes it possible to tune the AWG device by using stationary acoustic waves such that the acoustically excited optical guides are excited by a linear acoustic wave. | 06-26-2014 |

20120170041 | PHOTONIC SENSING METHOD AND DEVICE - This invention describes a photonic sensing method and device based on the periodic dielectric structures of photonic forbidden band, in which the sensing process is carried out through the measurement of variation in signal amplitude as it exits the device. The variation in amplitude is due to a variation in the refraction index of the structure, as a consequence of the presence of the substances that are the object of the sensing. Among the advantages provided by the invention, it is worth mentioning its simplicity in the sensing process; its high level of integration, allowing for a design of reduced proportions; and its adaptability to dielectric structures of one, two or three dimensions. | 07-05-2012 |
