Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are basic portable defibrillators that are designed for minimally-trained or untrained non-medical personnel. A microprocessor inside the defibrillation automatically analyzes the patient's heart rhythm and advises the operator whether a shock is needed. Audible and visual prompts will guide the user through the process. AED would advise a shock only to ventricular...
Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most acknowledged diseases that affected human health, and more than 1/5 females in this world suffer from this disease. In this paper, we present a novel electrical muscle simulator for the urinary incontinence, which adopted the wireless communication technique. The equipment is composed of a controller and an electrode pole. The electrode is inserted in female...
To build a wireless capsule endoscope with active external guidance for controllable and interactive diagnosis on the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to track the capsule's 3-D position and 3-D orientation. An approach to tracking is to enclose a small rectangular permanent magnet in the capsule. The magnetic field produced around the body by the rectangular magnet can be detected by magnetic...
We presents a new closed loop approach for the active actuation of wireless capsule endoscope inside the human GI tract. A magnet is enclosed in the capsule, and its position, orientation, and movement are detected by a magnetic localization system. To actuate the capsule, an external rotative magnetic field is applied around human body such that a driving force is created in the capsule by the magnet...
A new control strategy for the active actuation of wireless capsule endoscope has been proposed in this paper. The authors use magnetic field to implement the actuation. The external magnetic field in the three-dimensional space can be decomposed into three components, resulting in three effects on the magnet and capsule. Through analyzing the three types of force we find that two types of force are...
