Temperature Sensor
The amount of heat observes is sensed using sensor called temperature sensor. Mostly, there are two types of temperature sensor contact and noncontact. Examples of contact sensor are thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, thermometer, diodes, etc. And examples of noncontact sensors are radiation and pyrometers. The output of temperature sensor is smaller in amplitude as well as low signal power so amplifier is used to amplify weak signal.
We have used here LM35 series temperature sensor. LM35 series sensor is an integrated circuit whose output is linearly proportional to centigrade or Celsius temperature. Because of we get directly output of LM35 series sensor in centigrade it becomes its advantage as compared to linear temperature

There are many disadvantages of this traditional Electrocardiography electrodes are metal allergy can causes skin irritation, short term use, too much expensive and single use electrodes to overcome these disadvantages non-contact Electrocardiography sensor are used here named as EPIC (Electric potential Integrated Circuit) sensor. EPIC sensor is discovered in UK which has specialty of sensing without any physical contact with body. EPIC sensor collects the electrical signal which generated while pumping action of heart without any direct physical contact with body. EPIC sensors collect Heart activity in the form of electrical signal which has amplitude about 2mV for length of 20ms with bandwidth …show more content…
It is also called as data selector. In another word multiplexer has multiple input and single output. Mainly, Multiplexer used increase amount of data to be transfer within certain amount of time and bandwidth. Also can be used to implement Boolean functions of multiple variables.The schematic symbol for a multiplexer is an isosceles trapezoid with the longer parallel side containing the input pins and the short parallel side containing the output
The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances. The electrocardiogram is useful in showing how these chemicals adjust the electrical impulses that it induces.
A silicone semiconductor junction, in the shape of a diode was chosen to build the design around. This option filled all the requirements listed in the "Requirement Statement". Optional sensor devices were thermistors, thermometers, and thermocouples. These options were discarded because of high cost.
Through the process of each heartbeat, cardiac muscle contraction follows an electrical sequence. This sequence is initiated at the SA node generating an impulse which spreads through the AV node causing atrial systole. The electrical impulse then follows the AV bundle, bundle branches and the purkinje fibers producing ventricular systole. Series of electrical currents through the heart are able to be traced on the body surface by an electrocardiogram or ECG machine, a device that records voltage and time through the activity of each cardiac cycle. As stated above, the ECG recordings are shown by deflection waves that represent electrical events, starting with the baseline which is broken by the P wave caused by atrial depolarization. The QRS
According to Baum, Benson, and Brenner, an electrocardiogram (ECG) can measure the electrical signals that control the regulation of the heartbeat and heart rhythm (449). It is also a test procedure that involves an ECG test that detects a heart arrhythmia; however, the ECG test is only convenient when a patient experiences bradycardia during testing. Another way to detect bradycardia is to use an ambulatory electrocardiogram, which is a lightweight appliance used to monitor the heart rhythm as indicated by Healthwise Staff. This cardiac event monitor, also called a Holter monitor, records a patient’s heart rhythm during a normal daily routine. A physician may also conduct blood tests to find the source of the problem and to steady the heart rate. If the condition is ignored, then the patient can have more severe medical problems as a
The cardiopulmonary monitor is a system of wires with three electrodes that attach to the baby. (PeekabooICU) Two of these electrodes are placed on the chest of the child and one is placed on the abdomen or leg.
The ECG has had a huge impact on society in many ways. Among the most beneficial is that the data collected can be extrapolated to predict heart disease in an individual and thus lead the individual to alter their lifestyle, whether by taking medication or changing diet and exercise routine (3). This is increasingly relevant with the rising number of healthy, young athletes dying from sudden cardiac arrest after showing no previous symptoms (5). With the data collected by the electrocardiogram, this can be predicted and thus save lives. One harmful effect of the ECG is that the data is not always reliable; sometimes the data will find false-positive evidence of heart disease or a heart attack when there is none, and in other cases, the device isn’t consistently able to predict heart disease in people without a high risk of having heart problems (1). Overall, however the ECG is a device that ultimately will benefit people and reduce the number of lives taken by heart
- Temperature was measured after and exact time i.e. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes.
An electrocardiograph (ECG) is a common test that tracks impulses through the heart. Sensors are placed on the body to pick up impulses and the ECG will illustrate the time each impulse takes to get from the upper chambers to the lower chambers of the heart by showing three waves. The "P wave" is the first wave that originates from the atria, followed by the "QRS complex" that comes from the ventricles, and lastly the "T wave" that shows when the ventricles are at rest again (Electrocardiogram, 2015). Doctors will time the waves to see if the timing is correct or if they are too fast or too slow (Figures 3 and 4). They will also measure the impulse to see if one part of the heart has too much electrical activity than it is able to handle. This test can also be done with a miniature portable ECG recorder that can be worn for a period of time to actually catch an episode of SVT, which is usually more successful because episodes are so unpredictable. These portable ECGs can also be called Holt monitors and event recorders and also have sensors that get tape on specific areas of the chest (Electrocardiogram, 2015). Another more specialized test for those already diagnosed with SVT but want to locate the exact cause of abnormal heart beats is an electrophysiologic test. Doctors insert catheters with electrical sensors on them in a vein in the arm or upper thigh. The doctor moves the catheter around in the heart, with the help
Thermal protection is a method of detecting over-temperature conditions and disconnecting the electrical power. This usually used to prevent fires or damage to electronics power supplies and equipment which may arise from the high temperatures.
With advanced technologies such as this the acidity of the infant’s blood as well as the heart rate can be measured. New

Microbalance is designed so that a change in the weight of sample generates an electrical signal proportional to the change of weight. By data processing system, the electrical signal transform into weight or weight loss and it is plotted on the y-axis of thermal curve.
...rough overall body, in other words the extracellular fluids as well as intracellular fluid. The concept behind the multiple frequencies BIA method is taken the measurements a range of lower to high frequencies. From this it is possible to development of prediction equation from lower to high frequencies. By looking to the immense importance, success and popularity of Bioelectrical impedance Analysis Method, in our research work we have used this standard method. The buildup system evolved with taking features and advantage of complex multifrequency bioimpedance analysis method. This developed setup falls under such small size and low power embedded devices which can easily wearable access to the patient and capturing the real time data. With these the device has built in intelligence system and making control decision which help to patients with built in treatment.
A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors.They have the ability to monitor the physical as well as the environmental conditions.It is being widely adopted as a promising solution to numerous numbers of challenges which are being faced today. Sensor nodes, also known as motes, not only have limited amount of storage as well as processing capability which is a severe problem but also another constraint is the limited amount of energy of these sensor nodes. Dissipation of the nodes energy poses very critical issueas the lifetime of the node is limited by its battery capacity inwireless sensor network.
Abstract— Rotational speed measurement with the help of wheel speed sensor is most essential task in today´s world .Wheel speed sensor in one the most important component of Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).They not only senses the rotational speed of the wheel but also helps for traction control & stability control system. Mostly used wheel speed sensors are magnetic which are under passive sensors. They develop an alternating current (AC) which increases frequency and amplitude with wheel speed. These wheel speed sensors works on different principles like Hall Effect. Magneto-resistive Effect etc. Sensors which are used to measure rotational wheel speed works well for conventional Anti-lock Braking System. For electric vehicles conventional
