The Internet of Things: why now, and what's next?
(IEEE, 2016-01)
The technology to connect "things" to the Internet has existed for more than 20 years, so if we take a look back at recent history, we might well be tempted to ask the question "Why now" In this article, I address that ...
Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition
(IEEE, 2015-05)
As a near ideal biometric, iris authentication is widely used and mobile acquisition techniques are known. But iris acquisition on handheld imaging devices, such as smartphones, poses multiple, unique challenges. In this ...
Just another year in the consumer electronics industry? [notes from the editor]
(IEEE, 2016-01-01)
Welcome to another CES show issue of IEEE Conumer Electronics Magazine. This issue is aligned with the International CES held in Las Vegas, a global meeting for the consumer electronics (CE) industry where you can view the ...
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)
One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ...
Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
(IOS Press, 2018-07-19)
Existing treatments for Alzheimer s Disease have questionable efficacy with a need for research into new and more effective therapies to both treat and possibly prevent the condition. This review examines a novel therapeutic ...
Brain haemorrhage detection using a SVM classifier with electrical impedance tomography measurement frames
(Public Library of Science, 2018-07-12)
Brain haemorrhages often require urgent treatment with a consequent need for quick and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we investigate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting brain haemorrhages ...
Stable tissue-mimicking materials and an anatomically realistic, adjustable head phantom for electrical impedance tomography
(IOP Publishing, 2017-11-27)
Objective. To develop dielectrically accurate, easy to mould solid tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) for use with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and combine them into a head phantom with realistic anatomy and ...
Anatomically and dielectrically realistic microwave head phantom with circulation and reconfigurable lesions
(The Electromagnetics Academy, 2017)
Phantoms provide valuable test platforms for developing medical devices. Solid materials in particular allow fabrication of stable and robust models. This paper presents a novel, anatomically realistic, multi-layered head ...
Crowdsourcing, citizen sensing and sensor web technologies for public and environmental health surveillance and crisis management: trends, OGC standards and application examples
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-21)
'Wikification of GIS by the masses' is a phrase-term first coined by Kamel Boulos in 2005, two years earlier than Goodchild's term 'Volunteered Geographic Information'. Six years later (2005-2011), OpenStreetMap and Google ...
Do as I tweet, not as I do: comparing physical activity data between fitness tweets and Healthy People 2020
(JMIR Publications, 2015-11-30)
Background: The goal of this research was to compare the self-reported estimates of daily physical-activity data provided to the Healthy People 2020 research team via a telephone survey to the mobile fitness app real-time ...
