R & D capabilities
Biomedical signals are recorded and analyzed in order to gather information about the state of health of the patient or to study the activity of an organ. Sometimes these signals analysis methodology is well documented and is almost a standard such as the determination of the heartbeat of the electrocardiogram. However if more information than the usual is needed or the signal under study is unconventional, new techniques for the characterization of the signals or for the elimination of possible interferences are necessary.
Our research group has made special emphasis in the signal processing of bioelectric signals captured on the body surface as those of intestinal, uterine and cardiac origin. From the latter heart rate variability parameters have been derived that provide information on the operation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. We have also developed techniques for the elimination of interferences such as breathing, baseline drifts, movement artefacts or cardiac interferences. Moreover, it has been defined and obtained parameters that allow characterizing the activity of the organ under study.
The implementation of the proposed techniques has allowed improving the quality of the recorded signals and getting more robust characteristic parameters.
These results are being employed by various international research groups, as well as clinical staff at various hospitals. In addition these techniques have been the subject of various publications in prestigious international journals.

The translation of patents is a specialized translation modality that, in addition to the specialized content, has its own conventions of format that must be fulfilled in order to be able to apply for the patent in the target market with rigor and reliability. The existence of translation errors can have serious consequences in the act of registering or using the patent. Therefore, the correct selection of technical terms is crucial to translate a patent clearly into another language.
In this sense, the translation into Spanish of patents for inventions related to Biomedical Engineering is especially delicate because it is an emerging field for which there is no specific corpus. The English-Spanish translation of this type of patent requires, more than in any other field, a deep knowledge of the field of Biomedical Engineering both from the scientific point of view and from the technical point of view.
The Center for Research and Innovation in Bioengineering (Ci2B) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia is one of the pioneer centers in Spain in Biomedical Engineering, both at the teaching and research level. In addition to its activity in research and development of software and hardware for biomedical applications, the center was chosen in 2010 to collaborate with the prestigious intellectual property company ELZABURU, SLP to carry out advice on the translation of biomedical engineering patents ( and, by extension, other related fields of engineering). The accumulated experience of recent years has been translated into more than 100 translations of patents from English into Spanish and at the beginning of the elaboration of a specific corpus of Biomedical Engineering that complements already existing corpora, such as Patentscope or COPPA (Corpus of Parallel Patent Applications) and that complies with standard EN 15038.
Recently, the newly created company VAELIZA TRANSLATIONS, AEIE, associated with ELZABURU, SLP, has shown interest in collaborating with the Center for Research and Innovation in Bioengineering for the same purpose.
In addition to the translation of specific patents of Biomedical Engineering itself and the gradual generation of the aforementioned corpus, the collaboration provided by the Ci2B of the UPV has potential applications in the automated translation of patents.

Hemophilic arthropathy is an articular destruction associated with hemophilia. The most affected joints are the knees, ankles, elbows, hips and shoulders.
Researchers at CI2B have a system that helps in the diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy with a high success rate (> 95%), based on a non-invasive measure, low cost and independent of the observer.
Compared to other systems that aid in the diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy, such as those based on biomedical images, the system does not subject the patient to any type of radiation or ultrasonic waves. Furthermore, the result is not subject to interobserver variability. It is also not subject to questions related to the interpretation of the patient's symptoms.
The tests and their results can be obtained in less than 15 minutes, all with a system whose associated cost can be significantly lower than other employees in the clinical sector at present.

Information about technology:
- Applications The main application of the acquired knowledge and associated technology is the help in the diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy.
However, its use could also be extended to the detection of arthropathies due to other causes, as well as to the study of other types of disorders that affect the proprioception of people and may alter their balance. - Benefits that it provides A system has been developed that allows the diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy with a high success rate (> 95%), based on a non-invasive measure, low cost and independent of the observer.

Currently, in the fields of medical diagnosis and biotechnology there is an increasingly growing demand for analytical techniques that allow rapid, easy, direct and real-time detection of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, characterizing protein absorption and DNA interactions. and RNA with complementary sequences or analyze the antigen-antibody reactions, among other applications.
In the past, "label free" biosensors have been mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry, with the main drawback being their high costs and the need for expert users to handle and interpret the data. However, the new challenges faced by research means that companies and R & D centers are demanding more sensitive label free biosensors with the capacity to analyze in real time, at a reduced cost and easy to use and interpret. information
In this field, CI2B researchers are working on the development of new piezoelectric biosensors, based on the use of quartz crystal microbalances (QCM). The microgravimetric technique has allowed the implementation of a quantitative, direct and real-time detection method of biomolecular interactions such as antigen-antibody, pathogen detection, cell adhesion, oligonucleotide adsorption and hybridization, and complementary DNA sequence interactions, characterization of the absorption of proteins, and detection of bacteria and viruses, among others.
The main advantages of the "label free" biosensors are simple, direct, and real-time detection, as well as their regeneration capacity, which offers important advantages in relation to conventional analysis techniques. Thus, for example, a developed piezoelectric biosensor is capable of detecting the target antigen in a small fluid sample in less than 15 minutes and regenerating the sensor up to 150 times in a cyclic process, without significant loss of sensitivity.
Recently this team has made important advances both in the characterization techniques and in the sensor support technology and the associated fluidics, which may allow tackling the pending challenges for their application to the development of biochemical sensors, and in particular of piezoelectric biosensors " label free ".
The group led by Professor Antonio Arnau has recently managed to develop a new generation of quartz microbalance sensors of very high frequency, with sensitivities far superior to those currently available, which will allow to increase more than 1000 times (3 orders of magnitude) the limit of detection of these sensors in relation to conventional microbalances, reaching, and even exceeding, the limits of the current "label free" optical systems. All this, together with the advances of the group in the characterization techniques of these sensors, has provided the basis for a new generation of microbalances called "High Resolution QCM".
Professor Arnau with other members has created a company, spin-off of the Universitat Politècnica de València, called "Advanced Wave Sensors (AWSensors)" in order to transfer the results of both years of research.

The stomach and intestines are organs of difficult access and monitoring non invasively their activity in vivo subjects is limited. Currently the most widespread technique for its monitoring is the use of pressure sensors which should be introduced to the extent desired via nasal or oral. This technique is difficult for the clinician, annoying for the patient and presents various technical as well as physiological problems.
Our research group has developed an alternative non-invasive method of based on acquiring the myoelectrical activity of such organs through electrodes placed on the abdominal area. The acquired signal is very weak in amplitude and is subject to various physiological interferences, therefore special techniques of signal conditioning and processing are needed for its correct characterization. The results of our studies have demonstrated the possibility of capturing, in animal model, the intestinal pacemaker activity (slow wave) and the spike bursts whose activity is directly correlated with intestinal contractile activity. Further studies in humans confirm the possibility of detecting the intestinal slow wave on the body surface which could allow non-invasive diagnosis of pathologies such as intestinal ischemia or disorders associated with thyroid disorders or hypokalemia.
These studies have been carried out in collaboration with expert clinical staff that guarantees results.

Cardiac arrhythmias are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Despite the intense research developed, the mechanisms of generation, maintenance and termination of these arrhythmias are not totally clear. In addition, its treatment is not entirely satisfactory. Although today a large amount of information is available at different levels: sub-cellular, cellular, tissue, organ and system, the prediction, prevention and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias remains one of the greatest scientific challenges .
A new and promising technology based on the integration of different levels of information in computer models allows research in this field. Within this line, researchers of the CI2B Universitat Politècnica de València work in the study of the causes of cardiac arrhythmias through modeling and simulation.
It has been developed realistic three-dimensional models of the heart that include, with a high degree of detail, genetic characteristics of the ion currents, and their mutations, the electrophysiological characteristics of the different types of cardiac cells and the anatomical structure of the different cardiac tissues. of an anatomical model of the torso.
Using these models, we study situations that generate and perpetuate complex pathological rhythms and their relationship with electrical signals used in clinical diagnosis (ECG). These integrated multi-scale models are used to improve the prevention and diagnosis of cardiac pathologies, surgical procedures related to radiofrequency ablation and knowledge of the pro-arrhythmic effects of different antiarrhythmic drugs.
The research lines that this group has developed in the field of biomedical engineering has allowed it to collaborate with groups of both national and foreign. As a result of these collaborations, different research projects have arisen, funded both at local, state and European Union level.

Information on the exploitation potential:
- Applications EVOTOOL is located within the area of surgical material, specifically in hand instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The present invention is focused on the field of laparoscopy, for tools for grasping, dissecting, suturing and cutting, varying the thickness of the stylet can be extrapolated to any of the different endoscopic techniques where tools of this nature are required, and adding a Monopolar or bipolar electrical outlet can be used as HF technology (high frequency tools widely used to cauterize, suture or cut during operation
- Advantages versus alternative technologies The advantages over conventional laparoscopic surgery tools
EVOTOOL allows POSTURAL FREEDOM to the surgeon during the operation. Postural freedom is the possibility of adopting free-form positions when the subject develops a task.
EVOTOOL does not have a scissor shape, which means that there are no rings where the fingers can be inserted or the possibility of damaging the phalanges with prolonged use.
EVOTOOL, unlike conventional tools, allows the subject to move the hand freely, relaxing the grip during the operation, even allowing the tool to be operated with one or two fingers, which facilitates relaxing the phalanges during the operation.
The precision axis of EVOTOOL is located in the center of a sphere located in laparoscopic practice in the palm of the hand, very close to the precision axis of the hand.
A methodology has been developed for the determination of a classifier and a classification threshold for its use in the diagnosis of hemophilic arthropathy (HA).
These methods include the analysis of the variations in the center of pressures of subjects who perform a series of tests on a balance platform such as: standing eyes open, standing closed eyes, monopedestación on dominant leg, and non-dominant leg.
The inventors have found that from the movements of the pressure center, especially in unilateral positions, the information that can be derived allows a reliable diagnosis of HA. In addition, particularly the size and shape of the area covered by the pressure center, the velocity and power spectral density of the pressure center during these tests are indicative of the presence or absence of HA. Different parameters indicative of these concepts can be used.
By comparing the parameters of the subjects known to suffer from HA with the same parameters for the subjects it is known that they do not suffer from it, a classifier (and the corresponding classification threshold) can be determined through learning processes automatic. The inventors have found that a classifier and a classification threshold according to this method can be used to make a reliable diagnosis for individual patients in a quick and easy procedure. A patient will only have to perform simple short tests using a pressure platform and then in an automated way a diagnosis can be made.
The inventors found that using methods as described above it was possible to derive classifiers and classification thresholds that have a reliability of more than 90% when used for the diagnosis of HA.

Information on the exploitation potential:
- Applications Rapid, simple and safe diagnosis of the presence of arthropathic alterations in the load joints of the hemophiliac patient with the consequent possibility of early initiation of adequate therapy.
Presumably, it would initially be used in the hemophiliac patient's medical care units. Its extension to Health Centers would represent the provision of a simple and effective tool for screening alterations in the muculoskeletal system of loading and referral to medical specialties. In summary, an early diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries. - Advantages versus alternative technologies Regarding the application of the methodology described for the diagnosis of AH, the alternative technologies would be the physical explorations and the use of medical images. Medical images require qualified personnel and expensive equipment. A disadvantage of the medical image for the patient is that they are exposed to several doses of X-rays. On the other hand, the physical examination also requires qualified personnel and can be time consuming for patients. In addition, early diagnosis of HA with these known techniques can still be relatively complicated. Thus, the main advantages associated with the technique object of invention its main advantages would be the simplicity and diagnostic objectivity; and with it the possible early application of specific therapy that would represent a slowing down of the degenerative process and an increase in the quality of life of the hemophiliac patient.
The present invention is a system based on flexible annular sensors for obtaining non-invasive records of high performance of bioelectric signals on body surface. The system is composed of a flexible capture stage formed by ring and disk electrodes and by a stage in which the captured signals are processed. The quality of the signal is obtained from the annular configuration of the electrodes, the flexibility of the substrate in which its manufacture is proposed, which allows a greater adaptability to the body contour. In addition, the sensors of the designed system have multiple outputs, being configurable the weight of each of the voltages captured by the conductors in each of the outputs. This implies being able to obtain, with a single sensor, different output signals corresponding to different spatial distributions of sensitivity and by means of the weights assigned to each one to configure the desired output. The system also allows the possibility of mapping surface bioelectric signals by using several absorption sensors embedded in a flexible and adhesive matrix.

One of the applications is the recording of the electrocardiographic ECG signal both in resting conditions for diagnosis of cardiac pathologies (traditional electrocardiography) and in long-term ambulatory records (holter) as well as in stress tests.
Another application is the non-invasive recording of the uterine myoelectric signal during pregnancy and delivery (electrohysterogram, EHG). Currently, the clinical application of this technique for the study of uterine dynamics is limited because conventional techniques of signal capture do not have sufficient quality. With this new technology, relevant data could be obtained, for example, for the diagnosis of preterm birth.
The system can also be applied for the monitoring of intestinal myoelectric activity, called electroenterogram (EGn). This signal is also very weak compared to that of the heart and that of breathing; a record of its quality allows a rapid, non-invasive and low-cost diagnosis in the face of pathologies that present a high mortality rate due to the long diagnosis time.
Other possible uses would be the recording of the electromyogram (EMG), the electrogastrographic signal, the diaphragmatic signal, as well as the encephalographic signals, the oculogram or the retinogram.
- The annular and disc electrodes are developed on flexible substrates that adapt perfectly to the body contour, which offers a better quality of the recorded signal
- The sensors have multiple outputs to which different weights can be assigned, allowing to select with a single sensor the area of the body from which it is desired to record the bioelectric signals.
- It is possible to pick up weak signals that until now it was not possible to record with sufficient quality.
- The sensor developed is modular, so that the electrodes can be replaced by new ones.
- The system allows the possibility of mapping bioelectric signals on the surface by using several absorption sensors embedded in a flexible and adhesive matrix.
The system of the invention continuously and automatically supplies the series resonance frequency and the resistance of the dynamic branch and of a quartz resonator. The frequency supplied is independent of the dynamic resistance and the static capacity of the crystal. The system is designed to compensate the capacitive effects in parallel with the sensor, incorporating a phase-locked loop and a circuit that provides the dynamic resistance of the resonator. It also includes procedures for calibration of the circuit external to the sensor and for capacitive compensation. . The invention has utility in applications in which quartz resonators are used as sensors, such as: for the determination of the visco-elastic properties of fluids, for the detection of specific chemical species in gaseous environment or in solution by means of the suitable coating of the sensor , among other.
