This paper reports on the development of a wireless system to monitor the thoracic cavity pressure in mammals. This project seeks to open a new field using the radio frequency (RF) technology in the studies of the interaction between breathing and locomotion in mammals. Furthermore, this study embodies…
Transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry is an approach to measure oxygen saturation of the unborn child non-invasively. The principle of pulse oximetry is applied to the abdomen of a pregnant woman, such that the measured signal includes both, the maternal and the fetal pulse curve. One of the major challenges…
The fetal oxygen saturation is an important parameter to determine the health status of a fetus, which is until now mostly acquired invasively. The transabdominal, fetal pulse oximetry is a promising approach to
measure this non-invasively and continuously. The fetal pulse curve has to be extracted…
Newly developed, as well as „old“ materials have to fulfil requirement profiles for their applications. Material defects, wrong compositions, and wrong material treatment procedures can have severe consequences. Therefore, non-destructive materials testing methods are very important for safety. Nevertheless,…
UWB microwave imaging has proven to be a promising technique for early-stage breast cancer detection. The extensive image reconstruction time can be accelerated by parallelizing the execution of the underlying
beamforming algorithms. However, the efficiency of the parallelization will most likely depend…
