background solvents such as benzene and toluene are commonly used in tire manufacturing, and significant occupational exposure to these chemicals adversely affects the health of workers. in biological monitoring, a complementary method for personal monitoring, the internal absorbed dose is measured and individual, environmental, and exposure differences are taken into consideration. conclusions...

This paper describes a high-speed motion tracking system based on the full-search correlation matching. Incorporating Advanced Correlation Processor that computes more than 500 motion vectors per frame, the system allows detection and tracking of moving objects at video rate. The system is implemented on a single board and can be mounted inside of a PC. It is thus compact and of low cost, and i...

Depth cameras enable long term re-identification exploiting 3D information that captures biometric cues such as face and characteristic lengths of the body. In the typical approach, person re-identification is performed using appearance, thus invalidating any application in which a person may change dress across subsequent acquisitions. For example, this is a relevant scenario for home patient ...

This article presents procedures for modifying a hand held computer or personal digital assistant (PDA) into a versatile device functioning as an electronic stethoscope for fetal monitoring. Along with functioning as an electronic stethoscope, a PDA can provide a useful information source for a medical trainee. Feedback from medical students, residents and interns suggests the device is well ac...
