An Automatic Oviposition Recorder

Automatic fraction collectors and a conductivity recorder.

In recent years a variety of designs of automatic fraction collectors have appeared (Brimley & Snow, 1949; Cuckow, Harris & Speed, 1949; Edman, 1948; Phillips, 1949; Stein & Moore, 1948). The collectors described here possess the advantages that they are simple and cheap to construct and have given reliable service over long periods. The three machines all operate on the same principle, involvi...

A semi-automatic blood pressure recorder.

IN the recent past a number of blood pressure recorders for clinical use, and especially during anaesthesia, have been described (Molyneux and Pask, 1953; Simpson, 1956). It seemed, however, that these recorders had several disadvantages and that there was a place for an instrument that was cheap, simple and not a possible source of an explosion when used in the vicinity of explosive anaestheti...

The Remler M2000 semi-automatic blood pressure recorder.

Reliability of an external loop recorder for automatic recognition and transtelephonic ECG transmission of atrial fibrillation.

In order to test a newly developed algorithm for detecting atrial fibrillation in clinical practice, we carried out parallel recordings using a conventional 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor and telemonitoring with an external loop recorder. Recordings were made in 24 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and in another 24 patients with sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation was detected i...

An Automatic Fingerprint Classification Algorithm

Manual fingerprint classification algorithms are very time consuming, and usually not accurate. Fast and accurate fingerprint classification is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). This paper investigates a fingerprint classification algorithm that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. A new structural algorit...
