This study reports a piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer-based sensor patch for simultaneous heartbeat and respiration detections. The principle is based on the piezoelectric sensing mechanism to detect the pulsatile vibrations, and periodical deformations on the chest wall of human body during heartbeats and respirations, respectively. In this study, the sensor patch with a structurally...
As FPGA resources continue to increase, FPGAs present attractive features to the High Performance Computing community. These include the power-efficient computation and application-specific acceleration benefits, as well as tighter integration between compute and I/O resources. This paper considers the ability of an FPGA to address another, increasingly important, feature - resiliency. Specifically,...
As researchers push for Exascale computing, one of the emerging challenges is system resilience. Unlike fault-tolerance which corrects errors, recent reports suggest that resilient systems will need to continue to make progress on an application despite faults. A first step in developing a resilient system is to have robust, scalable system monitoring. The work described here presents a novel, minimally-invasive...
This paper develops a motor-driven massage artificial electro-mechanical manipulator system with intelligent biomedical sensing-monitoring capabilities and constructs the path of massage process by using CCD image processing technique. In this paper, we integrate a versatile inter-digital electrocardiograph (ECG) into the manipulator system and construct a massage path by using twin CCD image processing...
This paper proposes a new approach to detect the falling of the elderly based on intelligent space. The system can recognize the falling action by use of multi-sensor information in intelligent space. The detection system uses the image processing system to process images which captured from camera. After the silhouettes are obtained, we extract features that recognition falling needs. The surroundings...
This paper proposes a new approach to detect the fall of the elderly. The detection system is composed of a PC server and distributed cameras. The distributed cameras are used to capture images of different place in a house, and the PC server is used for fall recognition. In the fall recognition process, we extracted a new feature using for distinguishing lying down normally and behavior of falling...
