Human Fall Detection Using New MEMS Accelerometer Technology

For humans, an unobserved fall can have very serious consequences. In some cases, the initial injury can become more traumatic if not treated within a short time. In other cases, an individual can suffer an accidental fall as the result of weakness or dizziness due to a diminished self-care and self-protective ability.

CEITEC S.A announced that its RFID devices are the first ever to be entirely designed in that country. The completion of chip production marks a significant landmark in expanding the country’s domestic microelectronics industry. The company now plans to produce the chip at its Porto Alegre FAB.

The Role of Pressure Sensors in Medical Devices

The current state of healthcare today in the US is one which focuses upon cost containment, while at the same time, providing the advancements of modern technology to an aging population.  Finding effective treatment methods at affordable levels, while at the same time providing patients with high quality care is certainly a tightrope act many healthcare providers walk.

Practical Considerations for Wireless Sensor Networks and Mesh Networking

In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore introduced the Technology Adoption Lifecycle.  This curve highlights a chasm that exists between visionaries who are early adopters of technology and pragmatists who wait for proven technologies and products.  For technologies to “cross the chasm” one key component are products with defined product specifications and system deployment guidelines.

The Case for Thermal Energy Scavenging for Sensor Networks

The use of thermoelectric power generators (TEGs), in which a temperature difference creates an electric potential, can convert waste heat from thermal sources into usable electricity as an energy source for wireless sensor networks. The core component of a thermoelectric device is a thermocouple.
