Twin Plate Weir: A Flow Measuring Device (TECHNICAL NOTE)

For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

Portable High Resolution Multichannel ECG Measuring Device

Advanced electrocardiographic diagnostic methods of various cardiovascular diseases need high resolution multichannel measurement of ECG signals that offer much more information than the standard 12-lead ECG. To obtain such ECG signals in required quality a special multichannel electrocardiograph ProCardio 8 was developed. The system is designed as a virtual instrument consisting of an external...

Measuring energy expenditure after stroke: validation of a portable device.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current means of assessing physical activity and energy expenditure have restrictions in stroke, limiting our understanding of its role in therapeutic management. This study validates a portable multisensor array for measuring free-living total energy expenditure compared with a gold standard method (doubly labeled water) in individuals with stroke. METHODS Daily energy...

A Novel Portable Scissors-Type Fruit Picking Device

At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...
