Convolution number evaluation of wave-making velocity

Rapid measurement of aortic wave velocity: in vivo evaluation.

A 1D MR sequence has been developed for determining aortic flow wave velocity (WV), a metric of arterial compliance, within a single cardiac cycle. Studies were carried out on the thoracic aortas of 10 normal volunteers. Correlative WV data were also acquired from each subject using a conventional phase-velocity 2D mapping technique. Aortic WV in this cohort was found to range from 411 to 714 c...

Correlation Analysis in a Pulse Wave Velocity Evaluation

In this paper, methods for a time delay evaluation of phonocardiographic (PCG) signals are presented to estimate a pulse wave velocity (PWV) in a cardiovascular system of a human body, especially in arterial segments of an arterial tree selected. A measuring method used for the pulse wave registration is fully non-invasive. Electronic phonendoscopes – pressure/acoustic converters – were used as...

High Speed Convolution Using Residue Number Systems

This thesis investigates architectures for high speed signal convolution using residue number system techniques. The focus is on VLSI implementations, a choice that gives two parameters by which judge different architectures: speed and hardware size. Although the focus is on the standard residue number system, the same concepts can be directly applied to quadratic residue number system architec...

Breaking Wave Velocity Estimation

Pulse wave velocity measurement

The article deals with the investigation of pulse wave propagation in arteries. A part of work involves also design and realization of devices serving for scanning of pulse wave by reflective photoplethysmography. The work describes a use of microcontroller serving for data flow control, communication and analog signal digitalization using integrated analog to digital converter.
