B9 L2 H1 R2322

Abstract Due to the inherent complexity, physical or economical constraints, a number of important physical and biological systems are inaccessible. Only few, often indirect, experimental data are available to extract information or to manipulate and control the system. Introduced as a promising technology to respond to the growing need for reliable, accurate, fast, robust and low-cost sensing strategies, virtual sensors are gaining importance in several fields. These sensors combine the available data with effective estimation methods and algorithms to access non-measurable variables of

Wireless Monitoring of Respiration and Heart Rates

ISL Visiting Students Safwan Ibrahim and Abdullah Zayat worked on a wireless monitoring of respiration and heart rates project. This project introduced a wireless method to detect chest movement due to respiration and heartbeats. Universal Software Radio Peripheral (NI USRP-2922) was used to transmit and receive the signals, while two can-antennas were handmade and used as a transmitter and a receiver. The project was able to measure the respiration and heart rates with an accuracy of 95%, compared to the conventional wired monitoring devices.
