  1. 16. Wearable Heart Rate Measuring Unit

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för elektronikkonstruktion

    Author : Govardhan Reddy Patancheru; [2014]
    Keywords : PCB; PC; photoplethysmography; motion artifacts; PPG signals; benchmarking.;

    Abstract : Despite having the numerous evolved heart rate measuring devices and progress in their development over the years, there always remain the challenges of modern signal processing implementation by a comparatively small size wearable device. This thesis paper presents a wearable reflectance photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor system for measuring the heart rate of a user both in steady and moving states. READ MORE

  3. 17. How to build a rein tension meter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Marie Eisersiö; [2013]
    Keywords : Equine; Rein tension meter; Design;

    Abstract : A large part of the interactions between horse and rider during horseback riding takes place through the reins and the bit and devices for measuring the tension on the reins, rein tension meters, has fairly recently been developed. To safeguard the welfare of the ridden horse riders need to be aware of the rein tension they apply and actively work to decrease it. READ MORE

    Abstract : Some applications such as industrial automation, cargo handling, warehouse managing,monitoring of autonomous robot or personnel localization, require reliable indoor positioning. In particular, the requirement is to accurately localize a mobile wireless node in real-time. READ MORE

  5. 19. Camera Based Terrain Navigation

    University essay from Reglerteknik; Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Peter Rosander; [2009]
    Keywords : UAV; Kalman Filter; Particle Filter; Image Processing; Estimation;

    Abstract : The standard way for both ground and aerial vehicles to navigate is to use anInertial Navigation System, INS, containing an Inertial Measurement Unit, IMU,measuring the acceleration and angular rate, and a GPS measuring the position.The IMU provides high dynamic measurements of the acceleration and the angularrate, which the INS integrates to velocity, position and attitude, respectively.

  6. 20. Model Based Parameter Estimation for a Missile

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Per Hägg; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Traditionally direct integration of the measurements from an IMU (inertial measuring unit), measuring the acceleration and inertial angular velocity of the missile, is used to determine a missiles position and state. However, if some prior information about the missile dynamics is known, this method should be suboptimal. READ MORE
