Fault Tolerant Air Bubble Sensor using Triple Modular Redundancy Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Detection of air bubbles in the blood is important for various medical treatments that use Extracorporeal Blood Circuits (ECBC), such as hemodialysis, hemofiltration and cardio-pulmonary bypass. Therefore a reliable air bubble detector is needed. This study presents the design of a new fault tolerant air bubble detector. Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) method is used on the sensor section. A voter circuit of the Triple Modular Redundancy will choose one of three sensor outputs to be processed further. Application of Triple Modular Redundancy will prevent errors in the detection of air bubbles, especially if the sensor fails to work.

متن کاملA mid-value select voter
Hardware redundancy may be used in a variety of manners to achieve fault tolerance. One of the most popular techniques is a triple modular redundancy (TMR) scheme. Such a scheme has also been referred to as masking redundancy because failures those affect only if one of the three modules is masked by the majority of the nonfailed modules. Most of the published works on TMR make one crucial assu...
متن کاملImproving the Fault Tolerance of a Computer System with Space-Time Triple Modular Redundancy
Triple Modular Redundancy is widely used in dependable systems design to ensure high reliability against soft errors. Conventional TMR is effective in protecting sequential circuits but can’t mask soft errors in combinational circuits. A new redundancy technique called the Space-Time Triple Modular Redundancy is presented in this paper, which improves the soft error tolerance of the combination...
