ABSTRACT
The respiration rate of a person provides critical information about their well-being. Conventionally, contact sensing is used for breathing monitoring; however, it is expensive, uncomfortable, and immobile. In-home non-contact breathing monitoring is now possible via Doppler radar and motion capture video sensors, yet these technologies are limited in mobility, among other limitations. When monitoring a patient who is free to move around his or her home, it is dificult to scale current non-contact sensors to cover the large area. Our RUBreathing sensor system uses RF received signal strength (RSS) in a network to estimate breathing rate in real-time with high accuracy over a wide area. In this demonstration, we show the sensor continuously estimating a patient's respiration rate from non-contact RSS measurements between wireless devices.

Enteroscopic findings of Celiac Disease and their correlation with mucosal histopathologic changes
Background and aimsSingle Balloon Enteroscopy enables us to examine the small bowel for various diseases. It provides a view of the intestinal mucosa with biopsy capability, which may be helpful in search of a mucosal disease such as Celiac Disease. ...
Outcomes of Second Revascularization Procedures after Stent Implantation
Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce subsequent revascularization procedures. Although randomized trials have compared DES to brachytherapy and balloon angioplasty (PTCA) for in-stent restenosis, few long-term comparisons have been made to bare metal stents ...
A Polygonal Method for Ranging-Based Localization in an Indoor Wireless Sensor Network
In this paper, we propose an indoor localization method in a wireless sensor network based on IEEE 802.15.4 specification. The proposed method follows a ranging-based approach using not only the measurements of received signal strength (RSS) but also ...
