Platform for Adaptation of Myoelectric Prostheses in People with Upper Limb Amputation
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
This paper describes a platform for adaptation of myoelectric prostheses in people with upper limb amputation. The design of the platform is based on the anthropometry and biomechanics of human upper limb, servomotors are ...
Software to Determine the Readability of Written Documents by Implementing a Variation of the Gunning Fog Index Using the Google Linguistic Corpus
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
In English linguistics the Gunning Fog Index is used to determine the readability of texts. This methodology isn’t as effective in the Spanish language because the complexity of words isn’t determined by the number of ...
Estimation of Electrical Conductivity from Radiofrequency Hyperthermia Therapy for Cancer Treatment by Levenberg Marquardt Method
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
Introduction: The radiofrequency hyperthermia is a technique that by induction of the electromagnetic waves produces the heating in the biological tissues. The increase in body temperature in a range of 40 °C to 46 °C ...
Selection of Mental Tasks for Brain-Computer Interfaces Using NASA-TLX Index
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
The brain-computer interfaces - BCIs allow people with disabilities to interact with the outside world using different communication channels than conventional ones. This article deals with the selection of tasks in the ...
Technical Feasibility for the Mobile Measurement of Noise Pollution by Remotely Piloted Aircraft System
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
Excessive noise causes gradual hearing loss and interferes with sleep, reading and concentration. It can even cause physiological disturbances in the cardiovascular system. Noise quantification is usually performed using ...
Proposal for the Implementation of MLP Neural Networks on Arduino Platform
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
This paper presents implementation MLP artificial neural networks on embedded low-cost microcontrollers that can be dynamically configured on the run. The methodology starts with the training process, goes through the ...
Toward Automatic and Remote Monitoring of the Pain Experience: An Internet of Things (IoT) Approach
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
Automatic and remote monitoring of patients with pain may decrease treatment costs and improve the quality of care. In this sense, the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a suitable candidate for developing solutions ...
Estimation of Non-physiological Parameter for Electric Power Generation Using a Conventional Bicycle
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
The need to find new alternative energy sources brings with it the use of unconventional power generation sources such as bicycles and the question arises as to how safe these sources are from the user’s perspective. The ...
Robohip: Robotic Platform for Hippotherapy in Children with Disabilities
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
The problems inherent to the intervention of animals in therapies are associated with risks that imply this interaction and the low capacity to carry out a quantitative assessment. This document aims to offer patients with ...
Algorithms for the Management of Electrical Demand Using a Domotic System with Classification of Electrical Charges
(Springer, 2020-03-03)
Electricity demand management is the process of making appropriate use of energy resources. This process is carried out with the aim of achieving a reduction in electricity consumption. The electrical demand management ...
