Powerpoint Presentations on Advancement in MEMS Technology-1

SMART DUST:

Smartdust is a hypothetical system of many tiny microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) such as sensors, robots, or other devices, that can detect, for example, light, temperature, vibration, magnetism or chemicals; are usually networked wirelessly; and are distributed over some area to perform tasks, usually sensing.

IMPLANTABLE TEMPERATURE MEASURING MICROCHIP LAUNCHED BY POSITIVE ID

Microchip Will Integrate With PositiveID‘s Wireless Body(TM) Platform to Provide Early Warning at the Onset of an Illness

PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or the “Company“) (Nasdaq:PSID) announced today that it has completed the development of its temperature-sensing microchip in conjunction with development partner RFID Solutions of Malaga, Spain. The microchip, which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, is able to measure internal temperature within the body and communicate that temperature wirelessly to an external reader. The Company plans to integrate the temperature-sensing microchip with its Wireless Body™ platform.

USE OF LAPTOP LYING DOWN CAUSES SCROTAL HYPERTHEMIA IN MALES….

If you are a male reader & presently reading this post by placing the laptop below your waist lying down  then your scrotum can be in danger.

This effect is not due to the placement of laptop over scrotum but due to the position of legs in which the person lies down and uses laptop..

A study just published online in the journal Fertility and Sterility investigated ways to avoid the testicles from overheating while using a laptop computer.

SKIN BARRIER AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN HUMAN BODY-PHYSIOLOGY TUTORIAL

The Skin is a Composite of 3 Layers

  • This diagram is from the copyright-free collection, The Sourcebook of Medical Illustration, edited by Peter Cull (Park Ridge, NJ: Parthenon, 1989).
  • Epidermis: outermost layer, mostly dead keratinized cells (stratified squamous epithelium). No blood vessels, gets nutrition from dermis. Dead cells slough off and are replaced by dividing cells in the stratum basale. Half life of skin cells about 35 days.
  • Dermis: contains blood vessels, nerves, sensory receptors for touch, pressure, hot, cold, pain. Also has hair follicles and sweat glands. All this is imbedded in fibrous connective tissue.
