The Pamono-sensor is a joint development of the institutes for graphical and embedded systems of the TU Dortmund University together with the ISAS - Institute for Analytical Sciences in Dortmund as part of the collaborative research center SFB 876. The sensor will be shown during the TV show "Großen Show der Naturwunder" (Great show of miracles of nature) on 24th of July at 20.15 o'clock at the ARD. Ranga Yogeshwar and Frank Elstner present the sensor together with members of project B2, Pascal Libuschewski and Alexander Zybin, while analyzing the salive of Ranga Yogeshwar on the search for viruses.
The portable sensor device is based on modern multi-core processors and uses sophisticated methods for CPU-intensive algorithms to detect viruses locally and in real-time. Time between taking of samples (blood, salive) and getting analysis results is shortened drastically. The system can therefore be used outside of laboratories where it is needed, e.g. during crisis scenarios.
