{"title":"Performance Comparison for Hearth Rate Signal Detection for Different Location in Fingertip and Wrist Using Sensor MAX30102","authors":"R. Gunawan, A. Andang, Muhammad Ridwan","doi":"10.4028/p-op1nzx","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-op1nzx","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract. Measuring vital body signals is essential to measure basic body functions, prevent misdiagnosis, detect underlying health problems and motivate healthy lifestyle changes. Vital body signals are measured at the fingertips because the skin is thin, and the blood vessels are transparent. Visible light is passed at the fingertips, and the pulses generated are still acceptable on the outer nail. However, the body's vital signal measuring device continuously attached to the fingertip causes discomfort to the user. Therefore, in this study, it is proposed to measure the body's vital signals in other body parts. The wrist was chosen to be attached to the body's vital signal measuring device because the measuring device attached to the wrist allows it to continue to be used. This study aims to measure the body's vital signals, especially heart rate, on the wrist so that the correlation level of the measurement data is known. The main contribution of this study is built an electronic system to measure vital body signals, especially heart rate at the wrist with the help of the MAX30102 sensor that uses visible light with 650 - 670 nm. The MAX30102 sensor, which uses visible light with 650 - 670 nm, was selected for measurement. The ratio of the light reflected through the fingertips compared to the wrist. The result of measuring the heart rate signal on the wrist is in the form of a relatively flat wave so that the data sharpening process is carried out using the detrend method. The results showed that the measurement of heart rate signals at the wrist and fingertips of 15 respondents had accuration 85%. The accuration value shows that the data from the heart rate signal at the wrist is closely correlated with the data from the measurement of the heart rate signal at the fingertips. Therefore, measurements of heart rate signals, usually performed on the fingertips, can also be performed on the wrist. From the test results with a strong accuration, measurements are always taken when the hand can measure the place to measure vital signals, which is usually done at the fingertips.","PeriodicalId":15161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"59 1","pages":"131 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46366060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the surface qualities of Zr implants can be further improved. This present study examined using thermal vapour deposition (TVD) to coat Zr implants with germanium (Ge) to improve its physical and chemical characteristics and enhance soft and hard tissue responses. Materials and methods: Zr discs were divided into two groups; the uncoated (control) group was only grit-blasted with alumina particles while the coated (experimental) group was grit-blasted then coated with Ge via TVD. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), water contact angle test, and cross-hatch adhesion tests were then used for surface characterization Results: An XRD analysis of the Ge-coated Zr samples revealed the substrate while the FESEM results revealed a continuous coating with no cracks. The mean surface roughness and hydrophilicity of the Ge-coated Zr substrate was significantly higher than that of the uncoated Zr substrate (P≤0.01). The cross-hatch adhesion of all the samples was 0%, thereby indicating good coating adhesion. Conclusion: Therefore Coating Zr implants with Ge via TVD enhances its physical and chemical properties.","PeriodicalId":15161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"59 1","pages":"91 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48208167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It started from the complex module tools to simple handheld instrument. Recently, the more ease method has been developed with the help of smartphone application. To detect radiation using smartphone usually required the external tools connected to the phone as detector, but there is one application that did not. This application only required complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) part of camera. The application is a game changer in radiation protection because nowadays smartphone is in everyone’s pocket. The application needs to be tested to ensure its effectiveness to detect radiation. The application has been tested by the previous research and it is effective to detect radiation. In this research, CMOS will be tested to detect radiation leakage of x-ray tube. The aim of this research is to find the effectiveness of CMOS in smartphone for radiation leakage detection of x-ray tube. The finding will help the radiation worker detect leakage radiation of x-ray tube using smartphone in case of the absences of surveymeter in the facility. The radiation from x-ray machine were detected and measured three times by Iphone 6s, Xs, and 11 using RadioactivityCounter. To ensure there was a leakage, surveymeter is used as a comparative modul. The data obtained from the experiment was analyzed using t-test. The result show that percentage error of Iphone 6s, Xs, and 11 Consecutively were 93.4%, 98.2%, and 98.9%. which mean CMOS in these said phone could detect and measured radiation ineffectively.

Separation or removal of the femoral component has been observed and this has the potential to severely damage the polyethylene component. In most cases 90% of the patients examined experienced significant medial or lateral condylar lift at some stage during the gait cycle. Using the MRI, a normal knee has maximum lateral lift is approx. 6.7 mm and maximum medial lift is approx. 2.1 mm, when a varus strees applied at a 90° knee flexion. Elevation of the lateral condyle due to valgus malalignment will distribute more contact force on the medial condyle. In this study, a polyethylene component of a posterior-stabilized right knee joint implant was developed to facilitate a high range of motion (ROM). Malalignment valgus was observed with the axes of knee motion joint implants were varied from 0°, 2°, 3° to 5 and knee bend measurements at 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150° of knee flexion. Using the knee kinematic motion simulator, the modified polyethylene component resulted in 0° malalignment there is no gap of the femoral component with the polyethylene component, from 30° to 150° of knee flexion. At 2° malalignment, the femoral component was raised by 0.5 mm at a 90° to 150° knee flexion and increased with increasing knee flexion. Maximum gap occurs at 5° malalignment in the amount of 5 mm at 150° of knee flexion. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluation malalignment valgus of the flexed knee using knee kinematic motion simulator, with reference to the tibiofemoral flexion gap. The result that the modified design is expected in an narrow down gap between femoral and polyethylene component used knee kinematic motion simulator, this accommodate deep knee flexion movement in daily activities and reduce the possibility of subluxation and dislocation at the polyethylene component during deep knee flexion. A wide gap between the femoral component and the polyethylene component and a significant amount of contact force in the medial condyle region might be the explanation for polyethylene component damage. It is expected that potential medial or lateral condylar lift at some stage during the gait cycle can be reduced.","PeriodicalId":15161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"59 1","pages":"119 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48441668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
