Measurement: Derived Units

55.4K
The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It deals with designing, analyzing, and manufacturing machines and mechanical systems. To ensure precise and accurate calculations, units of measurement are used. They provide a standard system for expressing and comparing physical quantities.
There are various well-known historical measurement systems, such as the Babylonian system, the Roman system, the Egyptian system, the Olympian system, the British system, and the Indus...

Units and Standards of Measurement

A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.
Measurements of physical quantities are...

DNA as a Genetic Template

27.8K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wearable Technology
  • Gait Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate step detection is essential for gait analysis and monitoring.
  • Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) offer a portable solution for collecting movement data.
  • Existing step detection methods may struggle with diverse populations and complex gait patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel template-based algorithm for precise step detection using IMU data.
  • To evaluate the algorithm's performance across healthy individuals and patients with neurological or orthopedic conditions.
  • To establish the method's utility for robust step estimation and gait characterization in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized accelerometer and gyrometer signals from IMUs for data acquisition.
  • Developed a step detection algorithm based on recognizing signal patterns using a predefined template library.
  • Validated the algorithm on a large dataset comprising 1020 recordings and over 40,000 individual steps.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high performance metrics: 98% recall and 98% precision in step detection.
  • Demonstrated excellent adaptability to pathological gait patterns observed in patient populations.
  • Confirmed the algorithm's robustness across a wide range of recorded steps and subject types.

Conclusions:

  • The template-based IMU step detection method offers high accuracy and reliability.
