When the tower crane driver appears driving fatigue, it will appear slow operation response, hoisting precast parts appear abnormal swing, which will endanger the safety of on-site operators. Therefore, this study developed a kind of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation gloves. When the crane driver wears this kind of glove, the good contraction of the glove can make the stimulation electrode closely fit with the three points, so as to perform electrical stimulation on the Neìguān point (PC6), Láogóng point (PC8) and Hégŭ point (L14) of the palm to relieve the driver's driving fatigue. In this study, non-periodic transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (NPTAES) was used to stimulate human acupuncture points. This is different from the traditional periodic transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (PTAES) method for relieving mental fatigue. In addition, this study used hilbert marginal spectral entropy (HMSE) to calculate the heart rate variability (HRV) characteristics of the subjects, so as to detect and analyze the driving fatigue of the drivers. At the same time, the drivers' blinking frequency and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics were analyzed comprehensively.

Through extensive data collection and varied conditions, the goal is to attain more precise and valid results. The study conducts approximate simulations to comprehensively describe the dynamic motion of pulsatile flow. Different values of inlet velocity (UDF) are introduced, considering potential arterial distortion or occlusion due to plaque deposition, along with variations in hematocrit (Hct) levels commonly observed in patients. Three distinct types of pulsatile blood flow, corresponding to diabetes (Hct 65%), healthy (Hct 45%), and anemia (Hct 25%), are studied and compared. The research illuminates that stenosis in arteries with varying hematocrit levels significantly impacts hydrodynamic features, potentially predisposing individuals to cardiovascular diseases. Through meticulous analysis, several conclusions about hemodynamic characteristics are drawn. It is observed that both velocity and wall shear stress exhibit variation along the affected artery, influenced by stenosis and changes in hematocrit levels. Notably, the highest influence on velocity and wall shear stress is observed with Hct 65%, compared to Hct 45% and Hct 25% at the moment of stenosis. These findings hold substantial practical implications for the field of cardiovascular health, providing valuable insights into blood flow behavior in stenotic arteries with diverse hematocrit levels.
