Richard Kosmala is a strategic marketing manager for systems and connectivity at Mindray North America. E-mail: [email protected] Since the first wireless patient telemetry systems were introduced in the 1970s, the technology used to transmit real-time patient information over the airwaves has gone through a number of generations. Initially, the radio frequency (RF) technology was purely an...

Recent advances in animal tracking and telemetry technology have allowed the collection of location data at an ever-increasing rate and accuracy, and these advances have been accompanied by the development of new methods of data analysis for portraying space use, home ranges and utilization distributions. New statistical approaches include data-intensive techniques such as kriging and nonlinear...

This paper describes the developmental work being done at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital on intra-oral telemetry control systems. The design of a tongue-actuated intra-oral telemetry control system to control the “Rancho Electric Arm” (a seven-degree-of-freedom electrically-powered arm brace) is described in detail. The system consists of 15 specially designed solid state strain gauge pressure tran...

The article describes design of a new telemetry data transmission, storage and processing system used to transmit, store and process data measured during an overnight ski-mountaineering race. The proposed system has to solve many problems connected to the data transmission in the hard-accessible terrain, transmitted data storage and processing and some more problems originated from specific con...

Frequency-shifted feedback (FSF) lasers are potential candidates for long distance telemetry due to the appearance of beatings in the noise spectrum at the output of a homodyne interferometer: the frequencies of these beatings vary linearly with the path delay. In this Letter we demonstrate that these beatings also occur in the heterodyne mixing of two identical, but distinct, FSF lasers. This ...

The ESA Packet Telemetry and Telecommand Standards accommodate the requirements of a great variety of scientific space missions, thus providing a standard basis for cost-effective and technically compatible developments of on–board and on-ground data handling systems for a wide range of projects. This paper describes the design and the implementation of a detector–independent software, running ...

We present the architecture and design of a new transponder to support deepspace and near-Earth missions in the post-2010 time frame. This transponder is designed to provide direct-to-Earth command and telemetry service; spacecraftto-spacecraft command and telemetry service; direct-to-Earth navigation in the form of coherent Doppler turnaround, sequential turn-around ranging, pseudo-noise regen...

Equipping medical devices with long range telemetry opens completely new possibilities for emergency response, home care and remote diagnosis. Mobile communications nowadays seem to be a generaly accepted part of our modern world, but bridging the gap between new (consumer-) technologies and medical devices still is a challenge today. Providing a telemetry link (GSM) is just the trivial part – ...

This article is dedicated to the model of low rate telemetry system, which has been developed for MatlabSimulink environment. The purpose of this model is a research of the low rate telemetry transmission reliability in those cases where the modulation scheme carrier-subcarrier is used. This modulation scheme is widely used in case of the interplanetary spacecrafts. The main purpose of the mode...
