Human vital sign determination using tactile sensing and fuzzy triage system

Vital-Sign Monitoring Using Pulse Oximetry for Automated Triage and the Prediction of Patient Deterioration

Vital sign sensing method based on EMD in terahertz band

Non-contact respiration and heartbeat rates detection could be applied to find survivors trapped in the disaster or the remote monitoring of the respiration and heartbeat of a patient. This study presents an improved algorithm that extracts the respiration and heartbeat rates of humans by utilizing the terahertz radar, which further lessens the effects of noise, suppresses the cross-term, and e...

Tactile Sensing Using Nonlinear Elasticity

We propose a new sensor element for a tactile sensor skin which covers a large area such as a whole surface of a robot. The element acquires not only contact force but also contact area by using the nonlinear elasticity of skin materials. This paper provides the structure and theory of our tactile sensor element, and presents experimental results.

Tactile Sensing Using Tensor Cell

I n this paper, we propose a new tactile sensory structure using integrated sensing elements what we call “tensor cell”. I t as located sparsely in a flexible body of tactile sensor, and samples there the complete information of stress tensor w,hich requires six degrees of freedom t o describe it. W e clarify first the advantage of this architecture theoretically based on the elastici t y theor...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
