Optical position measurement system for an automated magnetic field mapping apparatus based on fluxgate sensors is presented. For the exact position estimation of the sensor head, a simple smart camera was developed with respect to minimal hardware configuration and real-time execution of position measurement algorithm. The camera is observing the mapped scene and evaluates position of the sens...

AIMS The aim of this study was to examine whether there is any difference between BP readings with patients crossing a leg at the knee level and uncrossing during BP measurement. BACKGROUND It is clear that numerous factors influence an individual's blood pressure (BP) measurement. However, guidelines for accurately measuring BP inconsistently specify that the patient should keep feet flat on...

Background: Desirable oxygenation of preterm newborns has particular importance, for this reason different methods have been proposed to improve oxygenation of the newborns; one of these methods is the newborns' position. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the position of low birth weight neonates on arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate. Methods: This interventional st...

A new procedure of the linear position measurement which allows to obtain sensitivity better than the Standard Quantum Limit and close to the Energetic Quantum Limit is proposed and analyzed in details. Proposed method is based on the principles of stroboscopic quantum measurement and variation quantum measurement and allows to avoid main disadvantages of both these procedures. This method can ...

We develop the predictor of the latent value of a sample subject when there two distinct sources of measurement error: subject specific response error (attributable to inherent variability in a subject’s response) and position-specific measurement error (attributable to position variability in a sample). Data set corresponding to total saturated fat intake for volunteer study subjects in the Se...

A structural representation of the hand embedding information about the identity and relative position of fingers is necessary to counting routines. It may also support associations between numbers and allocentric spatial codes that predictably interact with other known numerical spatial representations, such as the mental number line (MNL). In this study, 48 Western participants whose typical ...
