Airbag Control Module (ACM) is designed to detect the vehicle crash, measure the severity and to deploy airbags if necessary. ACM‟s another function is to record the crash related data from vehicles internal accelerometers and sensors from different modules. The system is also known as Event Data Recorder (EDR). This paper describes the operations of an EDR, which detects the crash based on pre...

The operation of four – channel microprocessor controlled recorder to be used in combination with ENDEVCO piezoelectric force and acceleration sensors has been described in the present study. The purpose of the equipment is to record the data obtained in the course of bruise testing for fruit and vegetables with high water content. The data from four sensors are recorded with 12 bits resolution...

Quantitative analysis of EEG frequencies provides useful information about the arousal level of the awake human (Matousek and Petersén, 1983; Okawa et al., 1984). It has been reported that the arousal level can be evaluated by measuring characteristics of power spectral densities in the range of alpha waves (Hyoki et al., 1993; Michimori et al., 1994; Ogilvie et al., 1991; Torsvall and Åkersted...

Subjective notational analysis can be used to track players and analyse movement patterns during match-play of team sports such as futsal. The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of the Event Recorder for subjective notational analysis. A course was designed, replicating ten minutes of futsal match-play movement patterns, where ten participants undertook the cour...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Implantable loop recorders have proven efficacy in the study of patients with syncope and palpitations. Remote monitoring of patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators has been shown to be safe and effective. The purpose of this study was to analyze the safety and effectiveness of remote monitoring in patients with an implantable loop record...

OBJECTIVE Early life family conflict is associated with physical health problems later in life, but little is known about the biological pathways through which conflict at home exerts it deleterious effects on health. The goal of this study was to investigate the associations between naturalistically assessed conflict in everyday family environments and diurnal cortisol in preschool-aged childr...

Implantable loop recorder is a diagnostic method in cardiology, having a role in revealing the cause of recurrent unexplained syncope. For automatic recording, the device is equipped with bradycardia and tachycardia programmable options. Battery capacity is 14 months. The aim of the study was to investigate the use of loop recorder in the diagnosis of unexplained syncope. The study enrolled the...

AIMS The newer insertable loop recorder device (Reveal Plus 9526, Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis MN, U.S.A.) is equipped with auto-activation capabilities. In this study we investigated whether the new device encounters sensitivity problems in the form of oversensing or undersensing. We also tested whether body position changes influence the sensed electrogram's amplitude, therefore affecting the d...
