Measuring Respiration Rate Based Android

Measuring Respiration

The measurement of respiration is very important because it provides a window through which we can determine the metabolic activity of plant tissues. During aerobic respiration, stored food (e.g., carbohydrates, fats, proteins) are combined with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide, water and the energy needed to maintain the plant cell, tissue and quality of the commodity. The ...

Respiration Rate Measurement Based on Impedance Pneumography

This document discusses the use of impedance pneumography as a technique to measure respiration rate. The generation of high-frequency ac current source is described, and the issues related to delay in modulated signal and finite transition times of carriers are addressed. The report also includes descriptions of potential implementations of a respiration rate measurement system using the ADS12...

Measuring Respiration and Heart Rate using Two Acceleration Sensors on a Fully Embedded Platform

We present a novel system which measures the respiration rate using two three-axis accelerometers strapped to the chest and the back of a person. Respiration and heart rate are used as a measurement to determine an athlete’s fitness level during the exercise phase. Common respiration rate measurement methods require devices which are mostly stationary or at least clunky and uncomfortable to wea...

Android based NXT Steering

Introduction Due to the limited resources (i.e., sensors) provided with the NXT vehicle, the steering (i.e., including steering autonomously and avoiding obstacles when roaming around the floor of the lab, see the description of problem 2 in HW3 [1] for details) is not easy (if not impossible). Conversely, smartphone devices (e.g., phone or tablet) always provide plenty hardware (e.g., gyro, co...
