A diagnosis server for collaborating with electronic noses, a related mobile diagnosis unit and a related method may be provided. A diagnosis server may comprise a receiver unit for receiving a set of data from one out of a plurality of e-noses. The set of data may comprise a sensor identifier, a sensor output value, and a relevance flag for a predefined diagnosis. A determination unit may determine a probability factor for the predefined diagnosis based on the set of data, a relevance function and a distribution function.

An electronic device with display characteristics which reduce long-time damage to user's eyes has a verifiable eye protection system. A verified verification information received from user causes the device to acquire surrounding brightness value detect by an illumination sensor and determine whether the brightness value is in a range suggesting too-low or over bright light. The display screen of the electronic device is turned off when the brightness value is within one of certain brightness ranges. A method for such eye protection is also provided.

A method for processing continuous sensor signals of a sensor in which a sensor signal is sampled at a sampling frequency and a series of sampled values able to be classified in terms of time is generated in this way, the sampling frequency is dynamically adapted to the spectral signal properties of the sensor signal variable over time and an item of time information is allocated to the thereby generated sampled values, which allows an allocation of the sampled values in terms of time.

The present teachings comprise systems and methods for calibrating the background or baseline signal in a PCR or other reaction. The background signal derived from detected emissions of sample wells can be subjected to a normalized statistical metric, and be compared to a threshold or other standard to discard outlier cycles or other extraneous data. According to various embodiments, a relative standard deviation (relativeSTD) for the background component can be generated by dividing the standard deviation by the median of differences across all wells, where the difference is defined as the difference between maximum and minimum pixel values of a well. The relativeSTD as a metric is not sensitive to machine-dependent variations in absolute signal output that can be caused by different gain settings, different LED draw currents, different optical paths, or other instrumental variations. More accurate background characterization can be achieved.
