Early diagnosis and treatment have always been highly desired in the fight against cancer, and detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has recently been touted as highly promising for early cancer screening. Consequently, the detection of ctDNA in liquid biopsy gains much attention in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment, which has also attracted research interest from the industry. However, traditional gene detection technology is difficult to achieve low cost, real-time and portable measurement of ctDNA. Electroanalytical biosensors have many unique advantages such as high sensitivity, high specificity, low cost and good portability. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the latest development of biosensors for minimal-invasive, rapid, and real-time ctDNA detection. Various ctDNA sensors are reviewed with respect to their choices of receptor probes, detection strategies and figures of merit. Aiming at the portable, real-time and non-destructive characteristics of biosensors, we analyze their development in the Internet of Things, point-of-care testing, big data and big health.

This system provides low power consuming and low cost wireless sensor network. This system provides a real time temperature and humidity. It also gives proportional control action. This system consists of TI’s MSP430 microcontroller which consumes ultra low power and improves the overall system performance. The Sensorion’s SHT 11 sensor is used to measure temperature and humidity. Sensor SHT 11 consumes low power and gives the fully calibrated digital output. Zigbee technology is used for wireless communication. Zigbee is low power consuming transceiver module. It operates within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band. AT and API command modes configure module parameters. RF data rate is 250 kbps. To achieve the proportional control triac and MOC 3022 are used. The star network topology is implemented. The temperature of earth goes on increasing due to global warming, deforestation, pollution, etc. Due to this the temperature of atmosphere also increases which is harmful and dangerous for many systems. This system provides precise control of temperature and humidity in Green House, Art Galleries and Industries.

AbstractCandida auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast that presents global health threat for the hospitalized patients. Early diagnostic of C. auris is crucial in control, prevention, and treatment. Candida auris is difficult to identify with standard laboratory methods and often can be misidentified leading to inappropriate management. A newly-devised real-time PCR assay played an important role in the ongoing investigation of the C. auris outbreak in New York metropolitan area. The assay can rapidly detect C. auris DNA in surveillance and clinical samples with high sensitivity and specificity, and also useful for confirmation of C. auris cultures. Despite its positive impact, the real-time PCR assay is difficult to deploy at frontline laboratories due to high-complexity set-up and operation. Using a low-cost handheld real-time PCR device, we show that the C. auris can potentially be identified in a low-complexity assay without the need for high-cost equipment. An implementation of low-cost real-time PCR device in hospitals and healthcare facilities is likely to accelerate the diagnosis of C. auris and for control of the global epidemic.

Abstract. Drifters that track their position are important tools in studying the hydrodynamic behaviour of rivers. Drifters that can be tracked in real time have so far been rather expensive. Recently both GPS receivers and GSM modems have become available at lower prices to tinkering scientists due to the rise of the Open Hardware revolution and the associated Arduino ecosystem. This article serves two goals. Firstly, we provide detailed instructions on how to build a Low Power GPS drifter with local storage and GSM model that we tested in a fieldwork on the confluence of the Chindwin and Ayeyarwady rivers in Myanmar. These instructions allow fellow geoscientists to recreate the device. Secondly, we set the question: "Has the Open Hardware revolution progressed to the point that a low power GPS drifter that wireless transmits its position can be made from Open Hardware component by geoscientists without extensive training or expertise in electrical and software engineering? We feel this question is relevant and timely as more low-cost Open Hardware devices are promoted but in practice applicability often is restricted to the 'tinkering engineer'. We argue that because of the plug and play nature of the components geoscientist should be able to construct these type of devices. However, to get such devices to operate at low power levels that fieldwork often requires detailed (mircro)electrical expertise.

Abstract This paper presents a sliding wire detection system of electric screw locking tool based on the characteristics of motor. The system can judge whether the screw has sliding wire through the current change of motor during normal operation, and realize the real-time detection and alarm of sliding wire. The system has the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost and high accuracy. It can be widely used in automatic assembly and other fields.

The real-time monitoring of a data is crucial in ensuring the accuracy of the acquired data. It determines whether the device is properly working or in fault. This paper proposed the design and implementation of a ZigBee-based wireless automatic meter reading system. It focuses on the development of a device that is capable of monitoring meter reader remotely. It sends the data hourly or daily using Zigbee as the transmitting medium. The proposed device uses software; XCTU, Arduino Programming Language, Multisim and hardware; Microcontroller, Pulse generating circuit, Zigbee antenna, 16X2 LCD Display to actually demonstrate the result. This device has a good potential in wireless meter reading due to its low-cost, low power consuming, and low data rate. The input is the pulse generated by the pulsating circuit and the output will be shown onto the LCD display and in the XCTU software proving that it transmitted wirelessly. The results successfully shows the data is received as what it is transmitted.

Nanoporous microbead-based microfluidic systems for biosensing applications allow enhanced sensitivities, while being low cost and amenable for miniaturization. The regeneration of the microfluidic biosensing system results in a further decrease in costs while the integration of on-chip signal transduction enhances portability. Here, we present a regenerable bead-based microfluidic device, with integrated thin-film photodiodes, for real-time monitoring of molecular recognition between a target DNA and complementary DNA (cDNA). High-sensitivity assay cycles could be performed without significant loss of probe DNA density and activity, demonstrating the potential for reusability, portability and reproducibility of the system.
