Novel Interactive Cell-Phone Technology for Health Enhancement

Novel Auxiliary Power Unit Configuration Based On Fuel Cell Technology for Civil Aircraft Application

This paper proposes novel Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (FCAPU) for J150+ aircraft application. The primary version of APU in J150+ aircraft is a gas turbine Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) which is based on gas turbine jet engine but in the suggested FCAPU, the generated electrical power is achieved from chemical energy with higher efficiency. The Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology is used to...

Interactive web-based mapping: bridging technology and data for health

BACKGROUND The Community Health Information System (CHIS) online mapping system was first launched in 1998. Its overarching goal was to provide researchers, residents and organizations access to health related data reflecting the overall health and well-being of their communities within the Greater Houston area. In September 2009, initial planning and development began for the next generation o...

Telemedicine system based on radio cell phone technology

This paper presents a system for transmitting ECG signals using recent cell phone technologies. The aim of the project is to give physicians and clinical staff the possibility to monitor homecare and emergency patients using telemetry. The acquired signals can be viewed at both ends of the system, i.e., transmitter and receiver. Before transmitting the signals, the system acquires them by using...
