Measuring blood pressure using a photoplethysmography approach
(Springer-Verlag, 2008-06)
Blood pressure is often measured using a device called a sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, and a blood pressure cuff. All the existing manual or automatic measuring techniques of blood pressure are based on this principle, ...
Four point probe geometry modified correction factor for determining resistivity
(The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), 2013-12-09)
The four-point probe technique is well known for its use in determining sheet resistance and resistivity (or effective resistivity) of thin films. Using a standard four-point probe setup, relatively large area samples are ...
Development of web-based medical history compiler
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)
The medical industry is moving towards ‘personalized medicine’ in all aspects of healthcare services, due to the realisation that each human body is different and ideally requires particular combination of drugs and ...
Prolonging glucose sensor's performance in In Vivo environment
(Faculty of Computer Science & Information Technology, University of Malaya, 2006)
In this paper, a sol gel based needle type biosensor using 3-glycidoxypropyl dimethylethoxy silane, as silane agent was developed to improve the immobilization efficiency of glucose oxidase (GOD). The glucose sensor was ...
Measuring of systolic blood pressure based on heart rate
(Springer-Verlag, 2008-06)
In this paper, we describe the method of noninvasive blood pressure (BP) measurement using electrocardiography (ECG) signal to measure arterial blood pressure. Here, we propose a continuous blood pressure monitoring method ...
A quantitative study of post-biopsy radiofrequency cauterization
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)
Percutaneous image-guided needle biopsy is typically performed in highly vascular organs or in tumors with rich macroscopic and microscopic blood supply. The main risks related to this procedure are bleeding and implantation ...
Temperature modeling of therapeutic ultrasound: a preliminary finding
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)
The temperature model of therapeutic ultrasound for human tissue is important in order to design an accurate instrumental assessment and calibration of therapeutic ultrasound device. The focus of this study is to verify ...
A complete system modelling of piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) with silicon carbide (SiC) used as cantilever base
(Penerbit UTM Press, 2014)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a material that possesses hardness and robustness to operate under high temperature condition. This work is a pilot in exploring the feasibility of cubic piezo element on the SiC wafer with integrated ...
