...-esophageal tube is uncomfortable. Imaging studies are of short duration and may miss reflux entirely. Herein, we present proof of concept of a noninvasive accelerometric device that detects acid and non-acid reflux in premature infants. An accelerometer was taped over the subxiphoid process in patients...

...Tao Liu; Yoshio Inoue; Kyoko Shibata Skin deformation caused by muscle motion is a common source of error for body-mounted sensors. A new method of measuring joint angles using a combination of two-axial accelerometers and reaction force sensors is presented. In this study, the effect of soft...

... of children with autism. This system incorporates 2 different sensor platforms which include environmental and wearable sensors. The system consists of a 3-axis accelerometer, small microcontroller and a Bluetooth module to transmit data to a base station such as a PC for analysis. We have customized...

Thewearable system consists of a 3-axis accelerometer, small microprocessor and a Bluetooth module to transmit data to the basestation...

... a facsimile of the Medtronic ® SynchroMed ® II pump that included both an accelerometer and a force sensor. The force sensor measured forces imparted on the pump connector via the attached catheter and surrounding tissues. The test pump was implanted in the lower left abdominal areas of porcine cadavers...
