Simulation Study for the Non-contact Measurement of the Impedance of Biological Tissue Using an Axial Gradiometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The measurement of the impedance of biological tissue can be a non-invasive method to find new data of diagnostic relevance. A system for a noncontact measurement of the electrical impedance of biological tissue is presented. The system consists of an excitation coil and two sensing coils coupled together as a gradiometer. The excitation coil is driven by an alternating current. Due to this alternating magnetic field eddy currents are generated in the tissue that create a secondary magnetic field. Due to the geometrical arrangement, the induced voltage of the secondary field in the upper and the lower coil is different. Numerical experiments are carried out to calculate the fields, eddy current distributions and induced voltages. Hereby tests with different frequencies of the excitation current and different conductivities of a tissue block are used. Keywords—contact-free measurement, electrical impedance, coil systems, conductivity

متن کاملCircularly Polarized Circular Slot Antenna Array Using Sequentially Rotated Feed Network
This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurement of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: a single element and an array at C band. The proposed single element antenna is excited by an L-shaped strip with a tapered end, located along the circular-slot diagonal line in the back plane. From the array experimental results, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth can r...
متن کاملDrill string Vibration Modeling Including Coupling Effects
Abstract: The governing equations of motion for a drill string considering coupling between axial, lateral and torsional vibrations are obtained using a Lagrangian approach. The result leads to a set of non-linear equations with time varying coefficients. A fully coupled model for axial, lateral, and torsional vibrations of drill strings is presented. The bit/formation interactions are assumed ...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Spherical and Cylindrical Contact Theories for Using in the Biological Nanoparticles Manipulation
The low Young's modulus of biological particles results in their large deformation against the AFM probe forces; therefore, it is necessary to study the contact mechanics of bioparticles in order to predict their mechanical behaviors. This paper specifically deals with the contact mechanics of DNA nanoparticles with spherical and cylindrical shapes during manipulation. In previous studies, ...

Abstract Background: Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a simple and inexpensive technique for non-invasive and continues measurement of stroke volume. Due to non-invasive nature, ICG is becoming increasingly used in research and clinical applications. With regard to lack of domestic impedance cardiograph and limited similar imported products in the country, an inexpensive and portable protot...
