Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for propagation of an elastic pulse through a planar slab of finite width. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is s...

The aim of this report is to propose standard pulse taking procedure of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis. In order to acquire full information from taking a wrist pulse, this proposal adopts a tactile sensor with 12 sensing points at one sensing position, such as Cun, Guan, or Chi. Simultaneously Palpation (SP) and Pressing with One Finger (PWOF) are adopted to explore their differe...

in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...

Abstract Interrupted sampling repeater jamming can produce numerous active false targets with high fidelity, which is a significant challenge for coherent pulse radar. This poses threat to the effectiveness of anti‐jamming technology, such as time‐frequency analysis and frequency agility conventional constant repetition interval (PRI) radar, will render radar inoperable detect track actual targ...

The dynamic response of a structure depends on both the structure and the applied load. A pulse approximation method proposed by Youngdahl has been proved to be applicable to stable structures and it has been adopted to deal with arbitrary loading pulse in analyses. However, for the structures possessing unstable loadedisplacement properties, the applicability of pulse approximation method need...

A highly sensitive differential pulse polarographic (DPP) method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of osmium, based on the catalytic effect of osmium (VIII) on the oxidation of pyrogallol red (PGR) by sodium bromate at pH 7.00 and 25.0 0.1 ? C. The reaction rate was monitored by measuring the differential pulse cathodic current of the oxidation product of PGR and broma...
