Hardware and software designing of USB based plug n play data acquisition device with C# and LabView compatibility
As interdisciplinary sciences getting popular with every passing day, the need of electronic devices interfacing with a PC is also increasing. Very useful products (Arduino, RasberryPi, etc) made their way in commercial market to cater such needs however they require programming skills, specific IDE's (integrated development environments) and lack compatibility with useful tools such as NI (National Instrument) LabView[1] and C#. Since these two (C# and LabView) are supposed to be widely used for their user friendliness, but unfortunately are not prioritised as a development option due to lack of supporting hardware which is either too expensive, rare or too complex. Hence in this research …
Designing of microcontroller based Syringe Pump with variable and low delivery rates for the administration of small volumes
Delivering medications and fluids intravenously is a common practice in modern medical procedures. Administering medications or fluids directly into a patient's blood circulation results in a predictable and immediate absorption of the drug or fluid administered, this may play a vital role in the treatment of certain acute conditions which require immediate action by drugs or fluids. Syringe Pumps are highly useful in delivering a precise quantity of the substance at specific periods of time as required. This research presents a proposal to create a cost effective working prototype of syringe pump for variable and low delivery rates for the administration of small volumes. The presented Syr…
Design and Calibration of an Omni-RGB plus D Camera
International audience; In this paper, we present the design of a new camera combining both predator-like and prey-like vision features. This setup provides both a spherical RGB-view and a directional depth-view of the environment. The model and calibration of the full set-up are described. A few examples will be given to demonstrate the interest and the versatility of such camera for robotics and video surveillance at the oral presentation.
A real-time webcam based Eye Ball Tracking System using MATLAB
Eye Ball Tracking System is a device which is intended to assist patients that cannot perform any voluntary tasks related to daily life. Patients who only can control their eyes can still communicate with the real-world using the assistive devices like one proposed in this paper. This device provides a human computer interface in order to take decisions based on their eye movement. A real time data stream is captured via webcam that transfers data serially to MATLAB. Then a sequential image processing scheme segments the iris of the eye and calculates the centroid, thereby generating control signal with the help of a reference axis. The control signals are then used to manipulate the positi…
An innovative approach towards E-health in development of tele auscultation system for heart using GSM mobile communication technology
Health is one of the major issues for normal existence of human life and it is a global agenda to increase the health care facilities for the peoples who don't have an immediate access to these facilities and are living in rural and undeveloped areas. From the beginning of twenty first century field of E-health has been developed rapidly to encounter these problems properly. The healthcare infrastructure gaining betterment day by day under the shadow of E-health technologies, where using mobile phones are becoming an efficient tool in monitoring and transmitting different physiological signals. Cardiac sound is an initiative physiological parameter that is helpful for diagnosing changes in …

Design and Calibration of a Specialized Polydioptric Camera Rig
International audience; It has been observed in the nature that all creatures have evolved highly exclusive sensory organs depending on their habitat and the form of resources availability for their survival. In this project, a novel omnidirectional camera rig, inspired from natural vision sensors, is proposed. It is exclusively designed to operate for highly specified tasks in the field of mobile robotics. Navigation problems on uneven terrains and detection of the moving objects while the robot is itself in motion are the core problems that omnidirectional systems tackle. The proposed omnidirectional system is a compact and a rigid vision system with dioptric cameras that provide a 360° f…
