To enable purchasers to compare commercially available instruments and evaluate new instrument designs, quantitative criteria for the performance of instruments are needed. These criteria must clearly specify how well an instrument measures the desired input and how much the output depends on interfering and modifying inputs. Characteristics of instrument performance are usually subdivided into two classes on the basis of the frequency of the input signals. Static characteristics describe the performance of instruments for dc or very low frequency inputs. The properties of the output for a wide range of constant inputs demonstrate the quality of the measurement, including nonlinear and statistical effects. Some sensors and instruments, such as piezoelectric devices, respond only to time-varying inputs and have no static characteristics.
The method of assessing recovery after knee injuries, most prevalent among athletes, can inform physicians and surgeons as to the best course of treatment, according to the announcement.
Recently I read a News article from the Mercury News about the shining Biomedical Sector, so felt like sharing it with you people.
This report had following highlights
A total of 14 biomedical companies made the valley’s list of 150 sales leaders, the fourth-highest number among the 11 sectors tracked on the list. And even though that was one company fewer than the previous year, the biomedical group’s nearly $14 billion in revenue amounted to a 13 percent increase over 2009.
The conference will highlight recent and significant advances in research and development in the field of instrumentation, measurements, communications, information technology and biomedical engineering. It will cover all aspects of theory and practice of metrology, instrumentation, communications, information technology and biomedical engineering. The scope will include, but is not limited in theory, implementation, and application of the topic below.
