New System to Monitor Behavior of Customers in Stores

This new system can determine, for example, if the customer pays attention to special offers, which route they take in the store and which products they stop and look at. "In our first test we realized that clients in a supermarket didn't walk down a certain aisle because the pet food was located too close to the mild. When we changed the pet food for muffins, people went down that aisle again and, the cross-sales of breakfast foods skyrocketed," explains Jorge Bueno, CEO of Proximus.

IBS Team Devises Dual Sensor for In-Vivo Measurements of CO and NO Gases

Inside our brains nerve cells signal each other using neurotransmitters including carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) gases. Besides sharing a number of biological and chemical characteristics, CO and NO work together in regulating many physiological processes including vasodilatation, and immune reaction. Accurate and quantitative measurements of their physiological levels have been seen to result in meaningful findings and the focus of many previous studies. However their similarities have prevented such effort from cracking the entangled bond between CO and NO.
