ABSTRACT
In order to effectively prevent the damage to the human body caused by abnormal oxygen concentration in the medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a ZigBee-based medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber oxygen concentration automatic control system is designed. The data acquisition module uses the microprocessor STM32F103C8T6 to receive the oxygen concentration data of each acquisition point, and the ZigBee of the data processing module transmits the processing results to the MSP430G2553 single-chip microcomputer at the receiving end of the slave. The MSP430G2553 single-chip microcomputer uses a self-organizing TS fuzzy neural network (SOTSFNN) and adds activation. The intensity concept realizes automatic control of the oxygen concentration in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and controls the buzzer to give an alarm when the oxygen concentration is lower than 19 mg/L and higher than 23 mg/L, and displays the current real-time oxygen concentration through LCD12864. The experimental results show that as the communication distance increases, the packet loss rate of the system is always lower than 5%, and the signal strength under the same communication distance is better; the system can effectively control the oxygen concentration value within the set range, and the oxygen concentration. The control accuracy is high and the stability is good.

The sensed information is send to the PIC16F877 microcontroller through signal conditioning circuit in the patient unit. A desired amount of sensor value is set and if it is exceeded preliminary steps should be taken by the indicating by buzzer.The sensor information will be transmitted from the patient unit to the main controller unit with the help of Zigbee communication system which is connected with the microcontrollers in the both units. The main controller unit will send those sensed data as well as the location of that patient by the help of GPS Module to the observer/doctor. The observer/doctor can receive the SMS sent by GSM module and further decision can be taken. The message is sent to a mobile phone using Global system mobile (GSM) Modem.

ABSTRACT
Una de las principales limitaciones que presentan las personas con discapacidad auditiva está directamente relacionada con su dificultad para interactuar con otras personas, ya sea de forma verbal o a través de sistemas auxiliares basados en la voz y el audio. En este artículo se presenta el desarrollo de un sistema integrado de hardware y software, para el reconocimiento automático del lenguaje dactilológico de señas utilizado por personas con este tipo de discapacidad. El hardware está compuesto por un sistema inalámbrico adherido a un guante, el cual posee un conjunto de sensores que capturan una serie de señales generadas por los movimientos gestuales de la mano, y un modelo por adaptación basado en los principios de la computación neuronal, el cual permite su reconocimiento en términos de un lenguaje dactilológico en particular. Los resultados arrojados por el sistema integrado mostraron gran efectividad en el reconocimiento de las vocales que conforman el lenguaje dactilológico en español, esto gracias a la capacidad que posee el modelo de asociar un conjunto de señales de entrada, con un movimiento dactilológico en particular.
One of the main limitations of the people with hearing impairment is directly related to their difficulty interacting with others, either verbally or through auxiliary systems based on voice and audio. This paper presents the development of an integrated system of hardware and software for automatic fingerspelling sign language used by people with this type of disability. The hardware system comprises a glove which has a set of wireless sensors that capture a series of signals generated by the hand gestures, and a adaptive model based on the principles of neural computation, that allows recognition of a particular dactilologic language. Results from the integrated system showed great effectiveness in recognizing vowels from the dactilologic Spanish language. This recognition was influenced by the dimensionality reduction made by the neural model of the input signals representing movements, and the sensitivity factor that sets the limit between recognition and learning.
ABSTRACT
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and the second-leading cause of death in Korea. It is also the third-leading cause of death in the United States, leading to a serious demand for new interventions to improve the quality of life in stroke survivors. To this end, direct cortical stimulation using an epidural electrode has been reported with promising results in animal and human studies, showing the potential for enhancing the recovery in chronic stroke patients. For optimal results, doctors must be able to modify the stimulation pattern as frequently as needed over a period of time for a given patient. However, severe aftereffects caused by stroke limit patients' activities, making regular doctor visits for treatment difficult. This study aims to develop a prototype of a telemedicine system to enhance stroke recovery by using a ZigBee-based wireless neuro-stimulator. The ZigBee is a stable platform for many low-power wireless applications. To allow stroke patients to remotely obtain neuro-stimulation treatments from their doctors, we connected the ZigBee to the internet. The system also allows doctors to personalize treatment based on the history of the stimulation parameters. The system developed here can also be beneficial as a common platform for a wide range of brain diseases and clinical care for which electric stimulation is used.
