ABSTRACT
We have developed a new wrist wearing heart rate monitoring alarm apparatus, which can detect the patients' real-time pulse waves. When the abnormal heart rate appears or pulse disappears, the monitoring alarm will sound and dial the remote telephone for help simultaneously. This apparatus uses the switch circuit to control the keyboard of mobile phone, and dials remote telephone in the help of mature technology and communication platform of mobile phones. The intelligent program can distinguish digital pulse signal, pick out the correct cycle of heartbeat intelligently. The new wrist wearing heart rate monitoring alarm apparatus will calculate an average heart rate when it captures consecutively five correct electrocardiograph waveforms. It really provides a simple, inexpensive and effective way for the patients with heart disease.

In this research and development project, we used the general microprocessor as a core to constitute the animal cardiac pacemaker in vitro. Control of the pacemaker's settings was carried out by transmitting parameters through a serial communication interface. Finally, our pacemaker reaches a satisfying test result in activating the cardiac outer membrane of the rabbits. Full digital pacemaker has high precision, good stability, and has an intuitive way to set parameters. Owing to its smaller size, lower cost, and easier mass production, the digital pacemaker is a good candidate to replace costly medical pacemakers for activating the animal's heart.

A new instrument, furnished with hydrogen clearance technique for measuring local blood-flow, was designed by use of new electronic components and a microcontroller. The corresponding program was developed. The curve of hydrogen clearance was sampled automatically by microcomputer, fitted into an exponential function by least square method, and then the local blood-flow was calculated. The cerebral blood-flow in the rat's striatum had been measured using the system. The fitted curve corresponds with the curve of hydrogen clearance and the obtained parameter was correct. The design of the instrument was reasonable. It can work reliably and stably. The calculated results are more accurate and they can be acquired more quickly, because the curve of hydrogen clearance is automatically sampled and analyzed by the microcomputer.
