As technology advances, the need for having reconfigurable devices becomes more of a necessity due to the growing complexity of applications. Programmable devices like Cypress Semiconductor’s Programmable System-on-a-Chip (PSoC) allow its users the flexibility to program one device that meets many of their application needs. Being that this technology is becoming more wide spread, it is now tim...

Abstract. The aim of this work was to evaluate a smart electronic tongue device as an alternative for qualitative and quantitative monitoring drinking water. consisted voltametric polypyrrole sensor array, linked with multi-channel system (multipotentiostat) based on PSoC (programable chip) technology controlled by smartphone data acquisition control app. This used in the water from Sincelejo c...

BACKGROUND According to new Norwegian laws, mental healthcare for adults are obligated to assess all patients who are parents and to act on their children's needs. This article describes the study protocol of implementing the interventions Family Assessment and Child Talks for children of patients in the adult psychiatry of the University Hospital of Northern Norway. The project is designed to ...

Since the early 1990s, the semiconductor industry has witnessed an explosive growth in the demand and supply of portable systems in the consumer electronics market where portability is often a key decision factor in consumer's purchase. The issue of portability itself is related to the size and weight of a product's battery pack. Although battery technology has improved over the years, battery ...

The potentiostat is critical in the development of electrochemical systems; however, its cumbersome detection and high cost considerably limit large-scale application. To provide an affordable alternative to developing countries resource-constrained areas, this study designs system based on smartphones, which uses Bluetooth Low Energy convert open-source data PSoC-5LP.

This paper develops an Intelligent Chair Tool (ICT) — a new chair-type human and machine interaction seating system powered by 36 intelligent pneumatic actuators. This tool can be used to facilitate investigation of chair shapes from spring and damping effects of seating and backrest surfaces. Each actuator used consists of five extensive elements of encoder, laser strip rod, pressure sensor, v...

In the automotive industry, embedded control has grown from stand-alone systems to highly integrated and networked control systems. By networking electro-mechanical subsystems, it becomes possible to modularize functionalities and hardware, which facilitates reuse and adds capabilities. With the increasing number of distributed microcontrollers and intelligent peripherals used in today’s electr...
