The 18th International Workshop on Nanomechanical sensing, this year in Bangalore, India will start soon!
The OXiNEMS members will present two contributions: Nicola Manca is going to present the poster “Stress Analysis and Q-Factor of Free-Standing (La,Sr)MnO3 Oxide Resonators” and Dhavalkumar Mungpara will give a seminar on the OXiNEMS magnetometer entitled “Towards nanomechanical detection of tiny magnetic fields”.
The OXiNEMS project participated to the 44th International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference held in Glasgow, United Kingdom from 11-15 July 2022.
Stefania Della Penna organized a mini-symposium on Trends on on-scalp magnetoencephalography, held on July 13th 2002. Among the talks of the mini-symposium, Stefania Della Penna presented "The OXiNEMS project: Oxide NEMS and magnetoencephalography", and Sara Spadone’s work on "Impact of pick-up loop design on analysis of on-scalp MEG data" related to OXiNEMS was discussed.
In the marvelous frame of the Italian Pavilion at Expo2020 in Dubai, on February 28th and March 1st has been held the final phase of the Intellectual Property Award (IPA) 2021 competition, promoted by the Italian Patent and Trademark Office of the Ministry of Economic Development in collaboration with Netval (the Italian Network for the Valorization of the Public Research). An award dedicated to the excellence of Italian public research, characterized by expertise, competence and dynamism.
IPA 2021 has received a great response, with 217 patents submitted in the seven technological areas: 1- Agritech and Agrifood, 2- Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, 3- Green Technologies and Alternative Materials, 4- Life Science and Health Care, 5- Aerospace, 6- Renewable Sources, Alternative Energy and Water, 7- Future Mobility.
The OXiNEMS patent “Low-power magnetometer for improved sensors integration in future vehicles” has passed the severe selection by a panel of national experts and get access to the 35 finalists (5 per category) presented at Expo2020 Dubai.
Federico Maspero, team delegate of OXiNEMS, presented at IPA 2021 ceremony in the “Future Mobility” category the conceived MEMS magnetometer to ease the integration between magnetic sensors and inertial sensors, offering both high performance (e.g., sensors alignment), with low power consumption and possibility of integration into existing processes. At the ceremony was present also Silvia Cella as CNR - TTOffice representative. The IPA2021 prize in the Future Mobility category was won by the University of Bologna with the patent “Self-confident: online learning for detecting depth sensor failures”, a solution to increase the safety and efficacy of autonomous driving systems.
Notwithstanding, congratulation to Federico and all the OXiNEMS team working on this technology that led to the Italian patent application No. 102020000007969 and the International patent application No. WO2021209891 A1.
The OXiNEMS project will be present at the 18th International Workshop on Nanomechanical sensing, this year held at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science(IISc), Bangalore, India from 9th - 12th August 2022 (Hybrid Mode).
Nicola Manca will present a Poster on “Stress Analysis and Q-Factor of Free-Standing (La,Sr)MnO3 Oxide Resonators” and Dhavalkumar Mungpara will give the talk “Towards nanomechanical detection of tiny magnetic fields”. The program of the event is reported on the NMC2022 website.
Here is the picture from iWOE27 (www.iwoe27.eu). The workshop counted 187 participants overall, 96 in person and 91 in remote. 102 posters and 49 talks. iWOE27 was hold in Genova, Italy, in the wonderful setting of Palazzo Ducale, October 13-15, 2021
