Knowledge of an amputees’ residual limb skin temperature is considered to be of particular importance as an indicator of tissue health. Temperature within the prosthetic socket typically varies over the range 25 °C to 35 °C and this warm, confined environment causes sweating which creates favourable conditions for both the growth of bacteria and an increased risk of tissue breakdown. With this in...
Dispersion has very strong detrimental effects on high data rate incoherent transmission systems. Situation gets much worse when data bits become only a few picoseconds long. In this paper we investigate how the dispersion can affect an optical auto-correlation function in optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) systems when data are carried by two-dimensional wavelength-hopping time-spreading...
Monitoring the health of a residual limb in prosthesis is key to detect early signs of tissue injury, and could improve patient quality of life. However, monitoring at skin level could induce possible discomfort and irritation, making the skin susceptible for breakdown. The use of non-invasive sensor technologies within the flexible liner of the prosthetic device can alleviate these issues. The rehabilitation...
