SMART-system: Past and future

AbstractSMART-system is a video database developed by the Japan Institute of Sports Sciences (JISS). It was made available to all national sports federations (NSF) in 2007. As of January 2010, the system is being used by 12 NSF, it has 1107 registered users, and 48,153 archived video files. SMART-system 2.0 is a new version that evolved from the experiences of designing and managing the original system. The main features of the new system are, (1) enhanced scalability: the system is capable of handling large NFS archives and small personal videos, and (2) enhanced integration with other resources such as web page and graphics data: these resources will be displayed with the video synchronously. These new features will improve training and coaching activities

Active and passive component embedding into low-cost plastic substrates aimed at smart system applications

The technology development for a low-cost, roll-to-roll compatible chip embedding process is described in this paper. Target applications are intelligent labels and disposable sensor patches. Two generations of the technology are depicted. In the first version of the embedding technology, the chips are embedded in an adhesive layer between a copper foil and a PET film. While this results in a very thin (< 200 µm) and flexible system, the single-layer routing and the incompatibility with passive components restricts the application of this first generation. The double-sided circuitry embedding technology is an extension of the single-sided, foil-based chip embedding, where the PET film is replaced by a second metal foil. To obtain sufficient mechanical strength and to further reduce cost, the adhesive film is replaced by a substrate material which is compatible with the chip embedding concept. Both versions of the foil-based embedding technology are very versatile, as they are compatible with a broad range of polymer materials, for which the specifications can be tuned to the final application

Hybrid e-rehabilitation services: SMART-system for remote support of rehabilitation activities and services

One of the most effective solutions in medical rehabilitation assistance is remote patient / person-centered rehabilitation. Rehabilitation also needs effective methods for the “Physical therapist – Patient – Multidisciplinary team” system, including the statistical processing of large volumes of data. Therefore, along with the traditional means of rehabilitation, as part of the “Transdisciplinary intelligent information and analytical system for the rehabilitation processes support in a pandemic (TISP)” in this paper, we introduce and define: the basic concepts of the new hybrid e-rehabilitation notion and its fundamental foundations; the formalization concept of the new Smart-system for remote support of rehabilitation activities and services; and the methodological foundations for the use of services (UkrVectores and vHealth) of the remote Patient / Person-centered Smart-system. The software implementation of the services of the Smart-system has been developed

Smart system for children's chronic illness monitoring

[EN] Sick children need a continuous monitoring, but this involves high costs for the government and for the parents. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) jointly with artificial intelligence and smart devices can reduce these costs, help the children and assist their parents. This paper presents a smart architecture for children's chronic illness monitoring that will let the caregivers (parents, teachers and doctors) to remotely monitor the health of the children based on the sensors embedded in the smartphones and smart wearable devices. The proposed architecture includes a smart algorithm developed to intelligently detect if a parameter has exceeded a threshold, thus it may imply an emergency or not. To check the correct operation of this system, we have developed a small wearable device that is able to measure the heart rate and the body temperature. We have designed a secure mechanism to stablish a Bluetooth connection with the smartphone. In addition, the system is able to perform the data fusion in both the information packetizing process, which contributes to improve the protocol performance, and in the measured values combination, where it is used a stochastic approach. As a result, our system can fusion data from different sensors in real-time and detect automatically strange situations for sending a warning to the caregivers. Finally, the consumed bandwidth and battery autonomy of the developed device have been measured.This work has been partially supported by the "Ministerio de EducaciOn, Cultura y Deporte", through the "Ayudas para contratos predoctorales de Formacion del Profesorado Universitario FPU (Convocatoria 2014)".

Kapton Based Antenna Simulation Analysis for Smart System

This paper describes the analysis of Kapton material in antenna design for telecommunication systems. Kapton is usually used in the design of radio and microwave frequency antenna. It is a flexible material and with different dielectric value. The antenna is made of a Kapton substrate, a patch and copper (FR4). The dielectric characteristics of Kapton substrate changes according to temperature. The simulation result shows that the bandwidth of the antenna increased up to 10 MHz with a second layer of Kapton substrate. While the antenna gain decreased 1.19 dB when the dielectric value is increased. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software was used to analyse the antenna’s&nbsp; performance
