Neuro-cognitive dysfunctions are common clinical abnormalities found in society. They require objective analysis by various instruments; an important technique involves monitoring electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. To date, EEG machines have been robust, costly and require patients to come to a hospital for test. Therefore, we have constructed a simple, cheap and portable EEG instrument for wi...

We describe a low-cost system for monitoring the behavioral activity of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The system is readily adaptable to one or more cameras for simultaneous recordings of behavior from different angles and can be used for monitoring multiple individuals in a population at the same time. Signal processing allows discriminating between active and inactive periods during...

This chapter surveys the issues of collecting monitoring data for performance debugging of parallel programs executed in cluster environments. The main categories of monitoring tools are either clock driven or event driven, the latter including timing, counting or tracing. The paper focuses on software tracing, deemed the most general and portable event driven monitoring technique. The lack of ...

In many industrial processes the vibrations play a vital role regarding the safety, machine life, economy of supply, load & hence overall power system. Hence a real time monitoring of machine vibrations is an important constraint. There are many options for real time vibration monitoring and FFT is most advanced option. But for a cost effective & portable monitoring of different types of machin...

Emergency unit ICU is where the patients who are basically sick and conceded for therapy. For such basic circumstances Specialists need to make some all-memories update wellbeing related boundaries like their circulatory strain, heartbeat ,temperature Asthma ,Environment saline full or not. Doing physically too drawn-out an undertaking furthermore various it turns out be near unthinkable. this ...

Remote ECG monitoring systems are becoming commonplace medical devices for remote heart monitoring. In recent years, remote ECG monitoring systems have been applied in the monitoring of various kinds of heart diseases, and the quality of the transmission and reception of the ECG signals during remote process kept advancing. However, there remains accompanying challenges. This report focuses on ...

Investigations are described into the use of a compact, portable unit, using polychromatic scattered light, for the preliminary monitoring airborne PM 2–10 particulates over widespread urban areas subjected to vehicular traffic. The monitoring unit has been used at a city centre bus terminus, at sites along an urban bus corridor and outside a local school adjacent to an air quality monitoring s...

Impedance cardiography (ICG) is the only known method that can observe the continuous left ventricular volume changes non-invasively and conveniently. This paper proposes to develop a portable ICG system for long-term continuous cardiac activity monitoring using the impedance technique. This ICG system combines the advance analog amplifier with the calculation power of digital signal processing...

A low-cost and portable vector network analyzer (VNA) which covered operating frequency between 1MHz to 3GHz is used for vector reflection coefficient and standing wave ratio (swr) of the various microstrip antennas. This paper presents measurements of various ultra wideband (uwb) microstrip antennas for applications in biomedical field. Selection of antenna is an important key for detection of...
