How Accurate Are Electronic Monitoring Devices? A Laboratory Study Testing Two Devices to Measure Medication Adherence

In a prospective descriptive laboratory study, 25 Helping Hand(™) (HH) (10 without and 15 with reminder system) and 50 Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) (25 with 18-month and 25 with 2-year battery life) were manipulated twice daily following a predefined protocol during 3 consecutive weeks. Accuracy was determined using the fixed manipulation scheme as the reference. Perfect functioni...

Real-Time Devices At Practical Prices: Low Cost Laboratory Projects

It is a challenging task to develop a course in software methods which also includes a laboratory in which to experiment with the concepts. The challenge is made even more difficult when funds for such an endeavor are scarce. Practical and low-cost projects were implemented which give students hands-on experience with electronic devices while learning the software requirements of real-time syst...

Photonic Materials and Devices

Our recent advances in solid-state optoelectronic materials and devices will be reviewed. In the area of glass optics, fabrication of novel microstructured and multi-core fibers and their use in realizing single mode lasers will be summarized. In organic and plastic optics, photorefractive polymers for 3D display applications and nonlinear optical polymers for high speed modulators in RF photon...

Overview of wave energy converter devices and the development of a new multi-axis laboratory prototype

The first part of the article provides an overview of both single-axis and multi-axis wave energy converter (WEC) technology, with a particular focus on present and past prototype devices. The second part of the article considers a multi-axis concept device that has been developed and tank tested at Lancaster University by successive Master of Engineering project teams. TALOS is a point absorbe...
