Enhancing Tennis Practice: Sensor Fusion and Pose Estimation with a Smart Tennis Ball.

This article demonstrates the integration of sensor fusion for pose estimation and data collection in tennis balls, aiming to create a smaller, less intrusive form factor for use in progressive learning during tennis practice. The study outlines the design and implementation of the Bosch BNO055 smart sensor, which features built-in managed sensor fusion capabilities. The article also discusses deriving additional data using various mathematical and simulation methods to present relevant orientation information from the sensor in Unity.

Integration of Capacitive Pressure Sensor-on-Chip with Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cells for Continuous Health Monitoring.

The increasing prevalence of hypertension necessitates continuous blood pressure monitoring. This can be safely and painlessly achieved using non-invasive wearable electronic devices. However, the integration of analog, digital, and power electronics into a single system poses significant challenges.

Wearable Sensors for Learning Enhancement in Higher Education.

Wearable sensors have traditionally been used to measure and monitor vital human signs for well-being and healthcare applications. However, there is a growing interest in using and deploying these technologies to facilitate teaching and learning, particularly in a higher education environment. The aim of this paper is therefore to systematically review the range of wearable devices that have been used for enhancing the teaching and delivery of engineering curricula in higher education.

Spintronic Eyeblink Gesture Sensor With Wearable Interface System.

This work presents an eyeblink system that detects magnets placed on the eyelid via integrated magnetic sensors and an analogue circuit on an eyewear frame (without a glass lens). The eyelid magnets were detected using tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) bridge sensors with a sensitivity of 14 mV/V/Oe and were positioned centre-right and centre-left of the eyewear frame. Each eye side has a single TMR sensor wired to a single circuit, where the signal was filtered (<0.

Spintronic Sensors Based on Magnetic Tunnel Junctions for Wireless Eye Movement Gesture Control.

The tracking of eye gesture movements using wearable technologies can undoubtedly improve quality of life for people with mobility and physical impairments by using spintronic sensors based on the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect in a human-machine interface. Our design involves integrating three TMR sensors on an eyeglass frame for detecting relative movement between the sensor and tiny magnets embedded in an in-house fabricated contact lens. Using TMR sensors with the sensitivity of 11 mV/V/Oe and ten <1 mm embedded magnets within a lens, an eye gesture system was implemented with a sampling frequency of up to 28 Hz.

Self-Powered Implantable Medical Devices: Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting Review.

Implantable technologies are becoming more widespread for biomedical applications that include physical identification, health diagnosis, monitoring, recording, and treatment of human physiological traits. However, energy harvesting and power generation beneath the human tissue are still a major challenge. In this regard, self-powered implantable devices that scavenge energy from the human body are attractive for long-term monitoring of human physiological traits.
