PROBING PENILE HEMODYNAMICS BY USING PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY AS OBJECTIVE INDICATORS FOR MALE ERECTION QUALITY AND SEXUAL FUNCTION

Probing penile hemodynamics by using photoplethysmography as objective indicators for male erection quality and sexual function

Abstract Erectile dysfunction (ED) is mostly due to the lack of blood flow into the penis.In the past 20 years, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used in measuring the concentrations and temporal dynamics of different hemoglobin types.However, the dynamics of the light absorption (photoplethysmography; PPG) have not been applied to survey penil

Design and Actuation of a Fabric-Based Worm-Like Robot

Soft-bodied animals, such as earthworms, are capable of contorting their body to squeeze through narrow spaces, create Girls Youth Tees or enlarge burrows, and move on uneven ground.In many applications such as search and rescue, inspection of pipes and medical procedures, it may be useful to have a hollow-bodied robot with skin separating inside a

A Refined Self-Tuning Filter-Based Instantaneous Power Theory Algorithm for Indirect Current Controlled Three-Level Inverter-Based Shunt Active Power Filters under Non-sinusoidal Source Voltage Conditions

In this paper, a refined reference current generation algorithm based on instantaneous power (pq) theory is proposed, for operation of an indirect current controlled (ICC) three-level neutral-point diode clamped LED Touch Lamp (NPC) inverter-based shunt active power filter (SAPF) under non-sinusoidal source voltage conditions.SAPF is recognized as
