The telecommunication network comprises a central controller arranged to identify a condition of availability of resources of the network and a plurality of nodal devices connected by at least one path of data connection, wherein each nodal device is adapted to work alternatively, or at the same time, as data transmitter, data receiver, or transit node for the path of data connection between a sender and a receiver. The telecommunication network is adapted to carry out at least one data traffic between a data transmitter and a data receiver. For each data traffic, the data transmitter is adapted to process a first predetermined amount of data and the data receiver is adapted to process a second predetermined amount of data, said first and said second predetermined amount of data being related to each other by a functional split. The central controller is adapted to set, for each data traffic, the functional split. The method comprises a step of identifying (301), by the central controller, a condition of availability of resources of the network, and a step, in case that the availability of resources is insufficient to carry out the data traffic, of modifying (304) said functional split for adjusting the first and the second predetermined amount of data processed, respectively, by the data transmitter and by the data receiver.

A device (1) for capturing and improving photographic images, in particular underwater, acquired in digital form by a camera (2), through a polarized lens (11) placed in front of the lens (20) of said camera (2), the polarized lens being placed in continuous rotation by means of motorized dragging organs (15). Therefore, in a rapid sequence, a plurality of digital photograms are acquired, each of them having different polarization characteristics, as a function of the angular position assumed by the cited polarized lens (11). The images acquired are inserted into an electronic analysis and processing system, which selects two or more of them, and then overlaps and merge them with pre-established parameters and obtain a digital synthesis image having better clarity, contrast, color fidelity, and color saturation compared to each of the individual original images acquired or selected.

A new method, the pulsating liquid flow mode, is proposed in biosensor devices for simultaneous multiple-analyte analysis. The biosensor micro-chambers are flooded at a time with a functional liquid flowing from a fluidic circuit with no symmetry prerequisite comprising micro-valves operably associated to micro-chambers for selectively allowing the liquid crossing. With the pulsating flow mode, turbulence and rest alternate in each micro-chamber so that the liquid function, such as accumulation, washing, regeneration, is greatly improved. The needed total liquid amounts in a micro-chamber can be greatly reduced and the unique entering liquid can be equally distributed without difficulties as the pressured functional liquid is easily multiplexed to biosensor micro-chambers. Related simple biosensor devices are proposed for such a pulsating liquid flow method.
