FPGA Implementation of Image Ordering and Packing Algorithm for TuMag Camera by Eduardo Magdaleno, Manuel Rodríguez Valido, David Hernández, María Balaguer, Basilio Ruiz Cobo, David Díaz

“…However, the sensor does not supply the image data in a row-by-column format. This task has to be done in the FPGA that controls the sensor because the frame grabber has a significant workload with the control of all the instruments, the telescope, the refrigeration, the navigation, and so on. …”

Lab-on-a-Disc Platform for Automated Chemical Cell Lysis by Moo-Jung Seo, Jae-Chern Yoo

“…Chemical cell lysis is an interesting topic in the research to Lab-on-a-Disc (LOD) platforms on account of its perfect compatibility with the centrifugal spin column format. However, standard procedures followed in chemical cell lysis require sophisticated non-contact temperature control as well as the use of pressure resistant valves. …”
