  • Smart heating system for home extending utilization of renewable energy sources

    In the paper a modern approach to smart home heating is presented. Proposed solution utilizes at least two low-polluting energy source technologies. The main idea is to connect well known ecological energy sources in a way that they can support each other and minimize risks of failure when using single system or even both of them but managed in separate way. Considered energy technologies, used separatelly, have disadvan-tages,...

  • TSR method for burns investigation approach
    Publication

    - Year 2018

    The article presents the possibilities of applying the TSR method for the diagnosis of burn wounds. The wound area is stimulated by cold gas and a sequence of thermograms of heating the tissue is recorded. Next, TSR algorithms are used to determine the parameters that allow the wound to be classified into one of the classes: the wound heals within three weeks, the wound will not heal in three weeks. The method was...

  • Capacitively coupled ECG measurements - a CMRR circuit improvement

    A typical galvanic-connected electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement system utilizes two signal’s electrodes and a third one in driven-right-leg (DRL) circuit for improving a common-mode rejection ratio(CMRR) of the acquisition system. In capacitive-coupled ECG similar techniques are used, however it is expected, that the utilized DRL subsystem is formed using a capacitive coupling approach, too. An improvement of the acquisition system...

  • Algorytmy obróbki danych dla diagnostyki ran pooperacyjnych w kardiochirurgii
    Publication

    Do oceny procesu gojenia ran pooperacyjnych wykorzystana została koncepcja aktywnej termografii dynamicznej (ATD) z pobudzeniem w postaci nawiewu mieszaniny powietrza i rozprężonego CO2. Specyficzne dla aplikacji oceny gojenia ran jest przetwarzanie uzyskanych sekwencji termogramów polegające na analizie rozkładów parametrów modelu dwueksponencjalnego wzdłuż linii cięcia w kolejnych dwóch badaniach - w trzeciej i szóstej dobie...

W projekcie zastosowano chłodzenie obszaru zainteresowania wykorzystując kriostat na dwutlenku węgla. W okresie powrotu do stanu równowagi termodynamicznej rejestrowane...

  • Thermal Imaging in Wound Healing Diagnostics

    Results of a project searching for objective, quantitative evaluation of postoperative wound healing in cardiosurgery are presented. We propose simple thermal models of the healing processes after cardiosurgery interventions as objective descriptors allowing classification of patients for extraction and following recovery at home or for prolonged treatment in a hospital. Classification of healing as the normal process or as a process...

  • Active Dynamic Infrared Thermal Imaging in Burn Depth Evaluation

    The aim of this study was to find the relationship between active dynamic thermography (ADT) with cold excitation and burn depth. This new modality of evaluation of burns seems to be an attractive proposal for quantitative classification, allowing proper choice of burn wound treatment: conservative or surgical, especially compared with static thermography. The work was an in vivo experiment on domestic pigs, and a small number...

    The surgery is a branch of medicine, that is integrally connected to wounds. Despite using sterile tools and compliance with aseptic rolls, some of the surgery wounds become infected. In clinical practice there is a lack of cheap, objective methods and tools for quantitative definition and estimation of the surgery wound healing progress. This paper presents preliminary results of Active Dynamic Thermography (ADT) parametric imaging...

  • ADT in mammography
    Publication

    We discuss limitations of the known methods of IR imaging in diagnostics of breast cancer. In conclusion we show that for practical reasons one requires new approaches because the known methods based on simple observation of external temperature distribution are not fully effective. Even advanced pattern recognition could not help too much for static images. We ask the question: may active dynamic thermography, known in nondestructive...
