In this paper provides the design method of portable fingerprint based student attendance system using GSM. The system includes terminal fingerprint acquisition module and attendance module. It can realize automatically such functions as information acquisition of fingerprint, processing, wireless transmission, fingerprint matching and making an attendance report. After taking the attendance, t...

This work describes a bio-potential acquisition system for portable ubiquitous healthcare applications using flexible polydimethylsiloxane dry electrodes (FPDEs) and a low-power recording circuit. This novel FPDE used Au as the skin contact layer, which was made using a CO2 laser and replica method technology. The FPDE was revised from a commercial bio-potential electrode with a conductive snap...

background: exposure to loud music from sources such as portable music players (pmp), especially among adolescents, can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. the aims of this study are as follows: 1) investigate the prevalence of headphone use in iranian university students by assessing their behavior, 2) determine the type of headphones used, and 3) ascertain the type of music player used. metho...

The Joseph Bell Centre for Forensic Statistics and Legal Reasoning has been set up to examine the correct presentation, interpretation and evaluation of scientific and forensic evidence through the use of technology. The aim of the Centre is to build computer systems for those operating in the legal system so that they can follow best practice whether investigating a crime or presenting evidenc...

A Data Acquisition USB Device has been designed, developed, realized and characterized to be used in Power Quality monitoring activities. The system simultaneously manage 8 data acquisition channels to allow acquisition on tri-phases plus neutral lines working at 499 samples per 50 Hz period. It can get external certified time and voltage references to warranty certified measurements. The syste...

Evaluation of knowledge acquisition (KA) technology is difficult because of the costs of using human expertise in experimental studies. An analysis of the types of errors a human expert makes in building a knowledge-based system (KBS) has been developed which suggests that a simulation of the key factors in building a KBS is possible. A demonstration KA simulation has been implemented for one K...

Design the technologies for data acquisition of embedded mobile terminal, data transmission and synchronization of embedded mobile terminal and the server and establishment and maintenance of the server database. Solve the shortcomings as difficulty in data acquisition of data synchronization, complicated operation of equipment, large amount of data, data error and lost in the process of transm...

BACKGROUND The visual temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) is the shortest time interval at which one can determine two stimuli to be asynchronous and meets criteria for a valid endophenotype in adult-onset idiopathic focal dystonia, a poorly penetrant disorder. Temporal discrimination is assessed in the hospital laboratory; in unaffected relatives of multiplex adult-onset dystonia patients ...

Both machine learning and knowledge elicitation from human experts have unique strengths and weaknesses. Man-machine collaboration for knowledge acquisition allows both knowledge acquisition techniques to be employed handin-hand. The strengths of each can alleviate the other’s weaknesses. This has the potential to both reduce the time taken to develop an expert system while increasing the quali...
