Introduction

Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the artery. Measuring the blood pressure is done in mmHg or millimeters of mercury and is given by two numbers. The number on the top shows the maximum pressure that is exerted by the heart while beating also known as systolic pressure. The bottom number shows the quantity of pressure in the arteries between heartbeats also known as the diastolic pressure. The difference that occurs between the top number and the lower one is referred to as the pulse pressure. Heart rate is ...

Introduction

The speed of any mechanical waves of most material posses a unique relationship with both the elastic property of the material and the inertial property of the medium. The velocity of a mechanical wave is directly proportional to the square root of the quotient of elastic property and the inertial property.
V= Elastic propertyInertial property
There are three basic types of pressure waves; infrasonic waves, sound waves and ultrasonic waves. Infrasonic ...

Velocity of Longitudinal Pressure in Sold Bars

Introduction
As opposed to the transverse waves, longitudinal waves are not easily visible. They usually take place in one direction. Whenever we want to generate a pulse in an oscilloscope, it is required that the wave travels in a single direction to avoid creation of seismic or spark points due to merging or collision of the waves. Both the longitudinal (compressional) and shear waves travel in the form of bulk matter although the later causes change in volume, shape or layer (Hanyga 15). In order to effectively discuss the elastic characteristics of an elastic material like bars, the young’ ...

Introduction

The cardiovascular system consists of arteries, capillaries veins blood vessels and the heart. The heart delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and caries waste products for elimination from the tissues (Hester & Lusha, 2012). The regulation of the cardiovascular system occurs through a complex interaction of both neural and non-neural mechanisms that aim at guaranteeing a constant internal environment (homeostasis) in organisms (Malliani 2000). The regulation of the cardiovascular system occurs through hemodynamics, through auto regulation, hormonal regulation and neural control (Khurana, 2008).
The most important of the regulatory mechanisms are closed loop reflexes like baro- reflexes, chemo reflexes and ...

Current methods

The current methods which are used to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen levels are Phonocardiography, Oscillometry, Photoplethysmography and Electrocardiography. The sounds generated due to heart beat and murmurs can be recorded using through a microphone. This acoustic property which determines heart rate can be studied using phonocradiographs. As a result of repeated relaxations ad contractions variations in blood pressure is observed. The frequent pulsation of the vessels is detected by automatic blood pressure monitors via peizo sensors. The rhythmic properties of blood can be sensed through alight ray reflected from the finger or an ear lobe through Photoplethysmography. The relaxation ...

Oscilloscopes and Graphing Multimeters

An oscilloscope is a visual voltmeter that shows a timer on voltage change. There can be different types of Oscilloscopes like analog, digital. Analog uses a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screen to display the electrical signals. A digital Oscilloscope uses liquid crystal display and works through storing the incoming signals over a period, therefore, it is also known as a Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSO). The data in DSO is presented in a waveform by mapping all the data stored by the DSO. DSO can also be connected to an output device and help in the diagnosis of problems. DSO ...

Introduction

Numerous electrical applications require an inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) power. Some of these applications require the stepping down of voltage levels when realizing this conversion, which signifies that the input DC power is greater than the AC power. Conversely, certain applications require the opposite: to step up voltage when performing the power conversion, which means that the input DC power is lower than the AC power. These requirements can be met through the use of Voltage Source Inverters and Current Source Inverters, respectively. However, some particular applications require to step down voltage for ...
