The objective is to prevent the recurrence of adverse incidents and risks of serious incidents involving medical devices and to take preventive and corrective actions. To control this process, there are health and sanitary agencies located in France and Mexico. To understand how these agencies work, we will compare their organization and to which standards they refer. Also, asking the staff working at the hospital and students involved in biomedical engineering seemed important to us. Most of the people who answered the questionnaire did not have information about Technovigilance and its relation with medical devices.

These signals might exhibit very low-power at cognitive (or secondary) users' receivers. Thus requiring detection algorithms that work well in the very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. It is known that secondary users (SUs) can improve its detection performance if some known information about PUs' signals is available. In this regard, some PUs can use superimposed training (ST) technique for channel estimation and synchronization purposes in their own networks. However, to the authors knowledge, the exploitation of this ST information by SUs in the context of cognitive radio has not been studied yet. In this paper, a new spectrum sensing algorithm for superimposed trained PUs' signals is designed based on the Neyman-Pearson criterion. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of the ST sequence to improve the detection performance of SUs. Results show that, even with a small training-to-information power ratio, the superimposed training-based detector (STD) significantly outperforms the energy detector; specifically in the very low SNR, which is of interest in cognitive radio. Moreover, if ST is not used, the proposed STD reduces to the energy detector.","PeriodicalId":285464,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114617597","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}

The equations that govern the phenomenon were used to optimize the dimensions of the applicator and their use in the application surface. The design condition to be met is that the applicator should not alter the focus and acoustic field generated by the transducer source of ultrasound. The designed model allows that the system does not depend on a water container for the application of HIFU, reducing the dimensions and facilitating interaction with the system. It was obtained a design where the conical applicator has a radius at the apex of 5.2 mm, a radius at the base of 11.5 mm, a thickness of 2 mm walls, an operating frequency of 2 MHz and a focus of 20 mm operation.
