Fuzzy Logic Applied to Apnoea Monitoring in Infants
نویسنده
چکیده
A unit has been designed which monitors newborn infants at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in a home environment. The unit monitors respiration, electrocardiogram (ECG) and haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2), using an intelligent fuzzy logic algorithm to process the signals in order to detect any potentially life threatening event at an early stage. Provision is made for the generation of both audible and silent alarms and for the storage of signals and other information before, during and after an alarm episode for diagnostic purposes. Key-Words: Fuzzy Logic, Apnoea, SIDS, Home Monitoring.

SIMULATION AND MONITORING OF THE MACHINING PROCESS VIA FUZZY LOGIC AND CUTTING FORCES
On time replacement of a cutting tool with a new one is an important task in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). A fuzzy logic-based approach was used in the present study to predict and simulate the tool wear progress in turning operation. Cutting parameters and cutting forces were considered as the input and the wear rate was regarded as the output data in the fuzzy logic for construct...

متن کاملHome monitoring for central apnoea.
Between July 1978 and December 1981, 64 infants thought to be at increased risk from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) were monitored at home for central apnoea. Twenty four of the infants had had a 'near miss' episode at age, median (range), 6 (1 to 33) weeks, and of these infants 22 had had 335 alarms for apnoea by age 6 months. Stimulation by shaking was carried out on 38 occasions and bag...
