    In a recent paper on a displacement current sensor for contactless detection of bio-activity related signals [1], it was stated that “A potential means for human presence detection…is via sensing…human biopotentials” ...

  • Low-power direct resistive sensor-to-microcontroller interfaces 

    López Lapeña, Oscar; Serrano Finetti, Roberto Ernesto; Casas Piedrafita, Óscar (2016-01-01)
    Artículo

    This paper analyzes the energy consumption of direct interface circuits where the data conversion of a resistive sensor is performed by a direct connection to a set of digital ports of a microcontroller (µC). The causes ...

  • Entropy characterisation of overstressed capacitors for lifetime prediction 

    Cuadras Tomàs, Àngel; Romero, Ramón; Ovejas Benedicto, Victòria Júlia (2016-12-30)
    Artículo
    Acceso restringido por política de la editorial
    We propose a method to monitor the ageing and damage of capacitors based on their irreversible entropy generation rate. We overstressed several electrolytic capacitors in the range of 33 µF–100 µF and monitored their entropy ...

  • An algorithm for beat-to-beat heart rate detection from the BCG based on the continuous spline wavelet transform 

    Alvarado Serrano, Carlos; Luna Lozano, Pablo Samuel; Pallàs Areny, Ramon (2016-05-01)
    Artículo

    A new technique to measure a capacitor or a capacitive sensor by means of a direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface circuit that does not need a calibration capacitor is proposed. Basically, the measurement process ...

  • A novel method to obtain proximal plethysmographic information from distal measurements using the impedance plethysmogram 

    Gómez Clapers, Joan; Casanella Alonso, Ramón; Pallàs Areny, Ramon (University of Oslo, 2015-12-23)
    Artículo
    Acceso abierto
    We present a novel method to detect proximal volume changes based on the impedance plethysmogram (IPG) measured from limb to limb with two electrode pairs symmetrically placed at distal areas of the upper or the lower ...
