MONIOLITECH

Faire: Rome

Maker: ORGANIZZAZIONE DI PRODUTTORI OLIVICOLI LATIUM SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA AGRICOLA

 

The MONIOLITECH project - Hi-tech monitoring for the sustainable management of the olive grove ecosystem in Lazio aims to address and solve the problem of manual monitoring of the parameters necessary for the implementation of correct and sustainable cultivation practices through the implementation of a technical assistance system for olive growers, based on ICT technologies and capable of informing and guiding farms in the main cultivation practices. It will be an easily accessible (user-friendly) web-based service where each olive grower will find the spatialized information needed to carry out irrigation and defence of the olive tree in a sustainable manner and in relation to the spatio-temporal location of the olive trees, according to the logic of precision agriculture. The support activity for this pilot project is financed by sub-measure 16.2.1 of the RDP Lazio 2014-2020 within the framework of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and subsequent amendments and integrations.

Infinit Sound Fx – A natural way to control sound effects.

Faire: Rome

Maker: Daniel F. Rosero

 

Musicians engage with their instruments through a variety of gestures. Some of these gestures serve a practical purpose, like plucking guitar strings or tapping effect pedal switches with their feet. However, others are non-utilitarian and stem from spontaneous bodily reactions to the music's interpretation—examples include jumping or expressive facial expressions. This project empowers you to leverage these instinctive, natural gestures in real-time, allowing you to use them as intuitive controls for your effects. It provides a user-friendly interface that can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

Arduino-based organ perfusion system.

Faire: Rome

Maker: IRCCS Policlinico S.Martino

 

Laboratory equipment could be expensive and their cost can be unsustainable for scientists with limited financial resources. In order to overcome these limits we build a scalable organ perfusion system for research purposes based on Arduino boards, pressure transducers, peristaltic pumps, a thermostatic unit, and a micro-oxygenator. Our system is designed to measure the mechanical properties of rat liver, however, it can be rearranged to perform other research on subnormothermic or hypothermic ex-vivo perfusion of liver and kidney or to realize peritoneal or isolated limb perfusion models.
