An electrocardiogram or ECG (also known as EKG ” abbreviated from the German word Elektro-Kardiographie), is an electrical recording of the heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. This application makes use of a DrDAQ Data Logger to read and store electrocardiograms. British physiologist Augustus D. Waller was the pioneer of ele

ctrocardiography and in 1887 published the first human electrocardiogram. Yet in 1911 Waller said, "I do not imagine that electrocardiography is likely to find any very extensive use in the hospital. It can at most be of rare and occasional use to afford a record of some rare anomaly of cardiac action. " However, just 13 years later, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven, who transformed this curious physiologic phenomenon into an indispensable clinical recording device that is still used today. The electrocardiogram, or ECG / EKG is a surface measurement of the electrical potential generated by electrical activity in cardiac tissue. Current flow, in the form of ions, signals contraction of cardiac muscle fibers leading to the heart`s pumping action. The ECG is a valuable, non invasive diagnostic tool which was first put to clinical use in 1913 with Einthoven`s invention of the string galvanometer. The results below show a reproduction of one of Einthoven`s original traces. Einthoven`s recording is known as the "three lead" ECG, with measurements taken from three points on the body (defining the "Einthoven triangle" ” an equilateral triangle with the heart at the centre. ) The difference between potential readings from L1 and L2 is what is used to produce the output ECG trace. The L3 connection establishes a common ground for the body and the recording device (oscilloscope. )...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
