This paper describes the development of a heart beat monitor system based on a microcontroller. The paper explains how a single-chip microcontroller can be usedto analyze heart beat rate in real-time. In addition, it allows doctors to get the heart beat and location of the patient by GSM every twenty four hours. It can also be used to control patients or athletic person over a long period. The ...

This paper describes the encoding and the decoding of a (31,15) Reed-Solomon Code for multiple-burst error correction for large memory systems. The decoding procedure consists of four steps-(1) syndrome calculation, (2) errorlocation polynomial calculation, (3) error-location numbers calculation and (4) error values calculation. The principal features of the design are the use of a hardware shi...

Separating codes have their applications in collusion-secure fingerprinting for generic digital data, while they are also related to the other structures including hash family, intersection code and group testing. In this paper we study upper bounds for separating codes. First, some new upper bound for restricted separating codes is proposed. Then we illustrate that the Upper Bound Conjecture f...

BACKGROUND In resource-poor countries, such as Solomon Islands, the research agenda on health is often dominated by researchers from resource-rich countries. New strategies are needed to empower local researchers to set directions for health research. This paper presents a process which seeks to enable a local and potentially more equitable research agenda at a remote hospital in Solomon Island...
