Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen01:14

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

951
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

9.1K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

2.1K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

37.0K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Design Example01:23

Design Example

718
The innovation of touch-tone telephony revolutionized the telecommunications industry by replacing the traditional rotary dial with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling system. This system uses a matrix-style keypad with buttons arranged in four rows and three columns, creating 12 distinct signals each assigned to a pair of frequencies. Each button press results in a simultaneous generation of two sinusoidal tones – one from a low-frequency group (697 to 941 Hz) and one from a...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Haptics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Current diagnosis of skin conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis relies on subjective tactile assessments.
  • Palpation and rating scores are operator-dependent, leading to variability in diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an objective tactile feedback system for simulating skin wrinkles.
  • To enhance the diagnosis of skin conditions by providing quantifiable tactile information.

Main Methods:

  • A visual and haptic Augmented Reality (AR) system was developed for tactile feedback.
  • Stereo skin images were captured using a stereo camera to generate a disparity map of wrinkles.
  • A tactile rendering algorithm processed the disparity map to compute reaction forces for a haptic device.

Main Results:

  • An in vivo stereo imaging system generated skin wrinkle images and disparity maps.
  • The system successfully rendered tactile feedback of virtual skin roughness through a haptic device.
  • Users could visually and tactilely perceive simulated skin wrinkles.

Conclusions:

  • A prototype tactile feedback system for virtual skin wrinkle simulation was successfully developed.
  • The system utilizes a commercial haptic device (PHANToM OMNI) for realistic tactile simulation.
  • This technology offers potential for more objective and consistent skin condition diagnosis.
