The present disclosure is related to an interface device for providing access to a network to be monitored. The interface device includes a plurality of elements, the elements being sensors and/or actuators. A selection circuit is provided for selecting a subset of elements among the plurality of elements, each element of the subset being arranged for outputting and/or receiving a signal. A local memory is provided for storing the subset.

Interface device and method for using the same

The invention relates to a sensor comprising a sensing layer and a surface layer, wherein said surface layer comprises, a first region suitable for adherent growth of cells, and a second region, adjacent to said second layer, suitable for the attachment of proteins, wherein the first and second region are in contact with the sensing layer.

Cell-enzyme based biosensors

The present invention provides an electronic device for sensing and/or actuating, the electronic device comprising at least one microneedle () on a substrate (), each of the microneedles () comprising at least one channel () surrounded by an insulating layer (). The present invention also provides a method for making such an electronic device for sensing and/or actuating.

CMOS compatible microneedle structures

A probe device is described having a substrate and a die on top of the substrate. The die has an array of stimulation/recording sites having at least one stimulation means and at least one recording means. The substrate comprising the die is folded into a cylindrical shape or a shape with a conical cross-section and, therefore, limits damage when it is implanted in tissue to be examined or treated, e.g., the brain of a patient in case of a neuro-probe device for use in deep brain stimulation.

Probe device for electrical stimulation and recording of the activity of excitable cells

The present invention relates generally to a method and device of partial or complete functional restoration of the damaged nervous system by bridging a cavity in the central or peripheral nervous tissue and, more particularly to a system and method for repairing the nerve signal transduction by bridging of the cavity with microelectrode elements more particular microelectrodes for stimulation and microelectrodes for recording.
