Abstract:
Waist circumference is a very important factor in deciding if someone has the potential for obesity, but there has been no device that automatically measures waist circumference. In this study, a new waist circumference measurable belt was devised and is accurate to 5mm resolution. The system is comprised of magnets and magneto-resistive sensors to measure waist circumference. A novel algorithm was developed to distinguish the belt moving direction. This belt system can assist in obesity and overweight management and a connection with IT and communication networks may make this system a more powerful tool.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
