Thee subject of this invention is a measurement method and device for selective and non-invasive determination of biomechanical, contractile and viscoelastic properties (BCVP) of skeletal muscles, muscle parts, tendons and ligaments (subjects of measurements) performed in situ (examine the phenomenon exactly in place where it occurs) by measuring the force at the skin surface above the subject of measurement. New senzor will help in injury prevention as wel as in rehabilitation. Company TMG-BMC ltd already developed a prototype whic hi currently being tested on several universities in different countries.
F.32 International patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 11177300Work presents comprehensive user-centred app design for speech sound disorders interventions with tablet computers. Survey has shown that only a small number of Slovenian speech-language pathologists use modern mobile technologies in their daily practice. User-centred design cycle brought together for a longer period an interdisciplinary team composed of speech-language pathologists (CKSG), experts in pedagogy (UP-PEF) and ICT and multimedia engineers (UL-FE). During the project we observed a significant shift in speech-language pathologists, parents and children attitude towards new technologies in speech-language pathology practice. The collected experiences and know-how was transferred into teaching at UP-PEF and UL-FE programs.

COBISS.SI-ID: 8101217In leafhoppers that are among the most important vectors of plant diseases, mate recognition and location are mediated exclusively by species- and sex-specific vibrational signals exchanged in precisely coordinated duets. These pests are currently managed primarily by insecticide treatments, however, current legislation and consumers’ concerns and demands require that the risks and impacts of pesticides be reduced. A proof-of-concept low-cost autonomous digital processing system (AS) is presented, capable of recognizing the male calls of the leafhopper Aphrodes bicincta ‘‘Dragonja” and generating female replies. Such a device could be used as a vibrational trap. This species was chosen since its duet structure is complex, with the female replies having to appear in short (47–175 ms) intervals between continuously repeated elements in the male call in order to trigger male searching behavior. The AS male call recognition algorithm is based on linear prediction cepstral coefficient (LPCC) feature vectors and a multilayer perceptron classifier (MLP). To prevent the noise-based feature vectors from feeding into the classifier, a bandwidth-limited linear prediction call activity detector based on spectrum peak tracking was designed. The efficiency of the AS was tested in behavioral experiments with live males. The MLP classification method successfully classified vibrational calls of male A. bicincta ‘‘Dragonja” from background noise. The fast real time identification enabled a synchronized playback of female vibrational reply with latencies as short as 130 ms. This mimicking of a duetting female by autonomous system also attracted the males to the source of the female reply. The AS is also a useful tool to enable further studies of vibrational duets that are needed to develop effective alternative control strategies.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 3794255The patent relates to telecommunication networks and, in particular, to control and management of a self organizing wireless telecommunication network. A method for network and frequency optimization in wireless networks is presented, which operates in an IoT fashion; by collecting base station information from a variety of distributed nodes, data is aggregated and analyzed on the server to calculate optimal base station configuration parameters. The system then proceeds with base station reconfiguration; the data acquisition is happening in an online fashion and the optimization is periodically repeated to correct for changes in the environment.
