Adding intelligence to a floor based array personnel detector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)According to the World Health Organization-WHO, a fall is defined, as "inadvertently coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level, excluding intentional change in position to rest in furniture, wall or other ... -
A data acquisition system that uses signal scavenging to detect activity on floor pads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We designed a data acquisition system to scan data from four sensors on a pad using the smart carpet technology. We constructed and tested four data ... -
Data control for signal scavenging for a personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Injurious falls have been one of the major problems in elderly people and not providing medical assistance to those patients on time may increase complications. We developed a "Smart Carpet", which detects the personal ... -
Data display for a signal scavenging personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We developed a display to remotely monitor activity in a room using passive elements like aluminum foils, and a mechanism which will inform the loved ... -
Data processing system for a personnel walking activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] -
Deriving information from spatial sampling floor-based personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Research has shown and identified a clear link between human gait characteristics and different medical conditions. Therefore, a change in certain gait parameters may be predictive of future falls and adverse events in ... -
Design of a signal scavenging sensor system for passive monitoring in elder care technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)This thesis describes sensors designed for a non-obtrusive monitoring system to detect and track the elderly adults walking on the carpet. The sensors are thin metal foils which detect environmental or scavenged energy. ... -
Fall detection system using low cost computing and online communication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Falls are prevalent among elderly and sometime may result in fatal injuries, which impacts their ability of independent living. Thus, a reliable as ... -
Floor sensor development using signal scavenging for personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Falls have been a major cause of injuries likes fractures, head trauma in elder people. In many cases, these injuries have been fatal. This being a major concern of the Alzheimer's Association, a 'Smart Carpet' to detect ... -
Improved data processing for personnel activity detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Our laboratory has implemented a personnel detection system, Smart Carpet, which can detect the walking activities. The existing system uses a SheevaPlug ... -
MizzouSMP
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)This paper covers the implementation of a 32 Bit RISC multiprocessor MizzouSMP. It was developed from MizzouRisc, simulated on Aldec Active HDL, implemented on a Altera DE2 board. The MizzouSMP core can be configured to ... -
A new circuit for personnel detection using signal scavenging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Falls are a major healthcare problem for the elderly. To help reduce the bad consequences of a fall in the elderly, our laboratory has developed a ... -
PCI bus connects MizzouRISC to PC
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)This paper covers the design of a PCI transmission controller to make a 32-bit microprocessor MizzouRISC be a co-processor for a PC. The co-processor communicates with the PC through the PCI bus, and works as a target ... -
Performance evaluation of a low cost processor with wireless connectivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)This study shows the development and analysis of the connectivity of a wireless system using a low cost processor. First, we designed a system with two sensor processors and a server PC. Second, we developed two protocols; ... -
Reducing chip count with a programmable system on chip in personnel detection using signal scavenging
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Our laboratory has implemented a personnel detection system, Smart Carpet, which can detect the walking of older adults. The existing system consists of traditional individual components and chips, leading to a large system ... -
Transport, network, and data link layer protocol designs to improve geo-stationary Earth orbit satellite data set transmission performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Geo-stationary earth orbit (CEO) satellites are wireless transmission media that provide near-earth Internet and Intranet data communication, but are limited to low Megabits per second transmission rates and small messages. ... -
Wireless communication for small floor pads to detect personnel activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Our laboratory has designed data acquisition systems to detect personnel activity using floor-based sensors, which we call the smart carpet. Therefore, ...
