In this work, an attempt has been made to develop a control system for controlling the nano acrylamide polymerization reaction for mimicking the optical properties of soft tissues in ultraviolet spectrum. The nano acrylamide polymerization reaction process was modeled using an ARX model. Further, a proportional-Integral (PI) controller was designed to control the reaction. It is observed that the...
Skin is the largest and vital organ for the protection of internal body from the outer environment. But due to the diseases of the skin, the protectiveness and hygiene of the internal body environment is at risk. Among the prevailing skin problems, psoriasis is being a widespread infection which causes irritation. Many people worldwide are suffering from psoriasis which is a recurring problem. In...
The paper reviews the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on three dimensional models of two different types of stents namely Palmaz-Schatz stent and Express stent. The simulations are performed for 2 cases: first is stents made of 316 LN Stainless Steel material and L605 Cobalt Chromium alloy. FEA analysis is a computerised method that numerical uses Numerical techniques to analyse the behaviour of a Stent...
Soft tissues found all over our body are highly deformable structures having varied structural arrangements, constituents and composition. Since soft tissues are not easy to handle, tissue mimicking phantoms have been developed that mimics the properties of biological tissues. In this work, an attempt has been made to design a capacitance sensor array for capacitive imaging of biological materials...
The transcutaneous power transfer for the artificial heart can be done by the principle of mutual induction. The primary coil and secondary coil present in this transformer should be positioned in such a way to enable the transfer of power from transmitter section to the receiver section wirelessly. The mutual induction process will take place when we keep both the coils parallel. The receiver coil...
Several thousands of people die day to day due to the time lag taken by the Ambulance service to reach the accident spot. This happens due to traffic jam, congestion in the city. A prototype of an emergency flying air ambulance or an ambulance drone which can reach the fatal cases faster than a normal ambulance which saves time is designed and it also measures the different health parameters using...
Clinical investigation of lungs can be find out by measuring respiration rate. Different methods are present to measure the human respiration rate like Respiratory Rate measurement using Piezoelectric Sensor, Measurement of Respiratory Rate using Laser Doppler Vibrometer, Respiration Rate Measurement System Using Pyroelectric Transducer, Impedance Pneumography Method, Measurement of Respiration Rate...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a widespread chronic neurological disease prevalent in old age. Speech is found to be an effective marker for the identification of Parkinson's disease. In the following paper, we have proposed using factor analysis to select meaningful and dominant features from the speech signals, which are relevant for prediction of Parkinson's disease. We infer that along with the jitter...
In this paper, a novel computer procedure is proposed to assist the brain tumor image examination. This approach enhances and extracts the contrast improved tumor core section from a two dimensional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) integrating the Bat Algorithm(BA), Shannon's multi-thresholding, and Active Contour (AC) based segmentation. Firstly, BA assisted multi-thresholding is executed to improve...
Normal human brain is not perfectly symmetrical even it has a high degree of bilateral symmetry. Identification of plane of symmetry is a critical step in brain image analysis. Brain symmetry gives two hemispheres. This paper proposes a new method for evaluating best symmetry plane of brain images using Genetic Algorithm (GA) from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). MRI scan is the best modality for...
Hypertension also familiarized as high or raised blood pressure. It is a condition where the blood vessels have continuously raised pressure. It is a condition where the systolic pressure is 140 mm/Hg or above and the diastolic pressure is 90 mm/Hg or above. According to the statistics of Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, the overall...
Foot is the basic supporting system of the body. It will bear the weight of body structure and helps us in static and dynamic stability. In our day to day activity, the people from various professions like surgeons, lecturers or common people have a tendency to shift their whole body weight to one foot unknowingly which can cause excess wear and tear in leg. So, if we can design a footwear which can...
This work presents the development of low cost, portable real-time Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring system with abnormality detection capability. The 3-lead Electrocardiogram device takes the physical pulse input using electrodes stuck to the arms and right leg of the patient under observation. The ECG signal is processed by the microcontroller AT89S52 in the portable wireless unit to count...
The number of stroke patients in Thailand has been increasing over 28,000 people annually. Most stroke patients have a problem on motion functional movement, resulting in serious disability and directly affecting to daily living ability. Rehabilitation for improving motion functional movements for post-stroke patients is therefore highly required. This paper subsequently presents a unique design of...
Epilepsy is the most common chronical disorder affecting nearly 50 million people worldwide and is associated with periodic loss of consciousness characterized by recurrent seizures with the abnormal electrical activity of the brain. According to Bangalore Urban Rural Neuro-epidemiological Survey (BURNS) approximately 51502 urban and 51055 rural people are affected with epilepsy in Bangalore. The...
