Portable Instrumentation for Real-Time

Development of TaqMan Duplex Real-time PCR for Simultaneous Detection of Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium

Background and Objective: Sexually infections transmitted by bacteria are one of thetherapeutic and social problemsworldwide. The Real-time PCR assay is one of the most sensitive diagnostic and screening methods for these infections. The purpose of this study wassimultaneous detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitaliumusing the TaqMan duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. ...

Implementation of a portable device for real-time ECG signal analysis

BACKGROUND Cardiac disease is one of the main causes of catastrophic mortality. Therefore, detecting the symptoms of cardiac disease as early as possible is important for increasing the patient's survival. In this study, a compact and effective architecture for detecting atrial fibrillation (AFib) and myocardial ischemia is proposed. We developed a portable device using this architecture, which...

A Portable Device for Real-time Gas Analysis Using Ion- Selective Electrodes

Portable instrumentation has been developed to measure halogen acid gases inside and around armored vehicles during fire suppression tests at Aberdeen Proving Ground. This technology is used to troubleshoot for leaks, conduct area sampling, and measure occupational exposure levels of toxic gases in air. A continuous denuder extracts the gases into an aqueous medium containing the appropriate io...

Design and Fabrication of a Portable 1-DOF Robotic Device for Indentation Tests

There are many tactile devices for indentation examinations to measure mechanical properties of tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a portable indentation robotic device to show its usability for measuring the mechanical properties of a healthy abdominal tissue. These measurements will help to develop suitable mathematical models representing abdominal tissue. A 1-DOF portable robot...
