There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

This paper describes a new system that detects radial pulse wave and allows the diagnosis of malfunctions of cardiovascular system by analyzing the waveforms with the newly proposed algorithm. The system consists of a sensor part and a data processing part within which a new detection algorithm is incorporated In acquiring radial pulse signal noninvasively, the sensor used in this system is a new combinational fiber-optic sensor which has a detecting Part and a transmitting Part. Also, In order to analyze the characteristics of pulsation quantitatively, the algorithm proposed in this paper is a method that runs in parallel with both the data of ECG and differential pulse simultaneously. these concepts are based upon the idea that thfee Q points of ECG give obious discrimination of one entire period of pulse in any abnormal cases, and newly defined feature lines at the differential counterpart can be used to recogrlize sDme significant points in one period of pulses.

In this paper, we introduce the implementation of high accurate level sensor system using the pulse wave type magnetostriction sensor. When a current pulse flows along the waveguide, the magnetic field also propagates towards the end of waveguide. When this magnetic field just passes the position of the magnet for level detection, the resultant magnetic field by these two magnetic fields makes a torsional reflected signal. This is used to calculate the time difference between a interrogation pulse wave and this torsional reflected signal. The key elements and characteristics were investigated to implement level sensor system based on this principle. We introduce a method to calculate the speed of ultrasonic reflected signal and how to make a model of sensing coil. In particular, we experiment with the characteristics of the torsional reflected signal according to the changes of the interrogation voltage and displacement. To make high accurate level sensor system, two methods were compared. One is to use the comparator and time counter, the other is STFT(Short Time FFT) which is capable of the time-frequency analysis.

In early 1970s, Electronic Manometers were researched and developed for modernization and objectification of pulse diagnosis. Method of finger pressing, also known as cuffs pressing, is essential for sensing a pulse wave. I think comprehension and deduction of problem from the existing Hi-soo type electronic manometer, will be important for making a better one. The Hi-soo type electronic manometer is constructed of cuff pressing type sensor, differential amplifier, transmitter and recorder. Pulse movement and pulse wave, gauging blood flow, is analyzed by pulse image of "Yixuerumen(醫學入門)". At standard of pulse wave, huanmai(緩脈) is distinguish from chishu(slow and fast, 遲數), fushen(float and sink, 浮沈), interference wave, modificated wave, and phase angel. The Hi-soo type electronic manometer had no explanation of formational mechanism, significantly different with pulse wave which is early known and reported. The strength of Hi-soo type electric manometer is use of cuff pressing type sensor. Above all, the importance of electric manometer is reading the pulse movement accurately then expressing it as pulse wave. From now on the improvement of precise sensor should make a progress.

The purpose of this study is to develop a pulsatile drowsiness detection system that can compensate the limitations of existing camera - based or breathing pressure sensor based Drowsiness driving prevention systems. A heart rate sensor mounted on the driver's finger and an alarm system that sounds when drowsiness is detected. The heart rate sensor was used to measure pulse changes in the wrist, and an alarm system based on the Arduino, which works in conjunction with the laptop, generates an audible alarm in the event of drowsiness. In this paper, we assume that the pulse rate of the drowsy state is 60 ~ 65 times / minute, which is the middle between the awake state and the sleep state. As a result of the experiment, the alarm sounded when the driver's pulse rate was in the drowsy pulse rate range. Based on these experiments, the drowsiness detection system was able to detect the drowsiness of the driver successfully in real time. A more effective drowsiness prevention system can be developed in the future by incorporating the results of the present study on a pulse-based drowsiness prevention system in an existing drowsiness prevention system.

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a tonometry sensor array for measuring arterial pulse pressure. A sensor module consists of 7 piezoresistive pressure sensor array. Wire-bonded connection was provided between silicon chip and lead frame. PDMS(poly-dimethylsiloxane) was coated on the sensor array to protect fragile sensor while faithfully transmitting the pressure of radial artery to the sensor. Tonometric pulse pressure can be measured by this packaged sensor array that provides the pressure value versus the output voltage.

맥파를 정량적으로 측정하기 위해 다양한 맥진기가 개발되어 왔으며, 맥진기는 비침습적으로 맥파를 측정하기 위해 압력센서를 이용한다. 이러한 맥진기에 사용되는 맥진 센서 모듈은 압력센서와 압력센서의 와이어링을 보호하기 위한 코팅이 사용되는데, 코팅의 재질 또는 모양에 따라 측정 겨로가에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 맥진센서에 압력을 가하였을 때 PDMS 코팅 형태에 따라 압력센서에 전달되는 응력분포를 비교하기 위해 6종류의 코팅모델에 두 가지 방법의 압력을 가하여 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 결과적으로 맥진센서 중앙에 압력을 가하여 해석을 수행 하였을 때 맥진센서 모듈의 PDMS 코팅두께를 0.3mm씩 줄일수록 중앙의 압력센서에 전달되는 응력은 24%씩 증가하였고 주변의 압력센서로 전달되는 응력은 4.9%씩 감소하였다. 그리고 코팅에 가이드가 있는 경우 주변 압력센서로 전달되는 응력의 비율이 2.7% 더 적게 나타났다.

We have simulated and proposed novel optical cavity, which has two elliptical mirrors, for NDIR gas sensor module and have tested it from 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm $CO_2$ concentration. The proposed sensor module shows the maximum peak voltage at 500 ms pulse modulation time, however, it shows a maximum voltage changes at 200 ms pulse duration with 18,000 times amplification gain. From 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm, the voltage difference of sensor module $({\Delta}V)$ shows 360 mV at 200 ms pulse duration and 3 sec turn-off time. The response time of designed sensor module is about 30 seconds.
