Applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces in Intelligent Technologies (Studies in Computational Intelligence #1031)
by Szczepan PaszkielThe BCI technology finds newer and newer implementations. Year by year, the number of publications in this field grows exponentially. This book attempts to describe the implementation of the brain-computer technology based on both STM32 and Arduino microcontrollers. In addition, the application of BCI technology in the field of intelligent houses, robotic lines as well as in the field of bionic prostheses was presented. One of the chapters of the monograph also discusses the issue of fMRI in the context of the possibility of analyzing images made as part of fMRI through solutions based on machine learning. A practical implementation of the TensorFlow framework was presented. The fMRI technique is also often implemented in BCI solutions. The conducted literature studies show that the technology of BCI is undoubtedly a technology of the future. However, there is a need for continuous development of biomedical signal processing methods in order to obtain the most efficient implementations in the case of non-invasive implementation of BCI technology based on EEG. The further development of BCI technology has a huge impact on the techniques of rehabilitation of people with disabilities. Nowadays, wheelchairs are being constructed, thanks to which a disabled person is physically able to direct his position in a certain direction and at a certain speed. Thanks to BCI, it is also possible to create an individual speech synthesizer, with the help of which a paralyzed person will be able to communicate with the outside world. New limb prostheses that will replace the lost locomotor system in almost one hundred percent are still being developed. Some prostheses are connected to the human nervous system, thanks to which they are able to send feedback to our brain about the shape, hardness and temperature of the object held in the artificial limb.

Applications of Chitan and Chitosan
by MATTHEUS F.A. GOOSENThe main driving force behind the development of new applications for chitin and its derivative chitosan lies with the fact that these polysaccharides represent a renewable source of natural biodegradable polymers. Since chitin is the second most abundant natural polymer, academic as well as industrial scientists are faced with a great challenge to find new and practical applications for this material. This book provides an examination of the state of the art, and discusses new applications as well as potential products. Applications of Chitin and Chitosan deals almost exclusively with applications. Previous books in the field have devoted less than 30% of their material to commercial or medical uses. In the past thirty years, substantial progress has been made on fundamental and applied research in chitosan technology. One of the driving forces behind this rapid development has been the decrease in the supply of natural resources. At the same time there has been an increased realization that there are abundant alternative bioresources. Two factors-economics and versatility-have also stimulated interest in chitosan's utilization in various fields. Chitin and chitosan derivatives have applications in fields that range from fertilizers to pharmaceuticals. Chitosan is no longer just a waste by-product from the seafood processing industry. This material is now being utilized by industry to solve problems and to improve existing products, as well as to create new ones.Applications of Chitin and Chitosan is illustrated with over 100 photos, charts, graphs and figures and more than 40 tables. Applications of Chitin and Chitosan will be of interest to industrial personnel involved in bioprocessing as well as bioengineering students, specialists in the biomedical and biopharmaceutical industry, biochemists, food engineers, environmentalists, and microbiologists and biologists who specialize in chitosan technology. Publication: Fall 1996.

Applications of Computational Learning and IoT in Smart Road Transportation System (Springer Tracts on Transportation and Traffic #22)
by Hong Qin Saurav Mallik Tanvir Habib Sardar Subrata Nandi Munshi Yusuf Alam Arup RoyThis book discusses machine learning and AI in real-time image processing for road transportation and traffic management. There is a growing need for affordable solutions that make use of cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The efficiency, sustainability, and safety of transport networks can be greatly increased by implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML)-based smart road transport system. Install sensors on roadways and intersections to gather data on traffic conditions in real time, such as vehicle density, speed, and flow. Predicting traffic patterns is done by analyzing the gathered data using machine learning algorithms. This can lessen traffic, enhance overall traffic management, and optimize traffic signal timings. Vehicles equipped with Internet of Things devices can have their health monitored in real time. Parameters including lane changes, brake condition, tire pressure, and engine performance can all be monitored by sensors. Based on the gathered data, ML models are used to forecast probable maintenance problems. By scheduling preventive maintenance, failures can be avoided and overall road safety can be increased. Create a smartphone app that would enable drivers to locate parking spots in their area. To forecast parking availability based on past data, the time of day, and special events, apply machine learning algorithms. Integrate Internet of Things (IoT) sensors into fleet vehicles to monitor their performance, location, and fuel consumption. To maximize fleet efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and plan routes more effectively, apply machine learning algorithms. Train ML models to forecast the quickest and most efficient routes with the help of historical data analysis. Route recommendations for drivers or fleet management systems can be constantly adjusted with real-time updates, which contain real-time data on road conditions, accidents, and construction. To guarantee smooth integration and efficient implementation, government organizations, transportation providers, and technology firms must work together.

Applications of Computational Tools in Biosciences and Medical Engineering (Advanced Structured Materials #71)
by Andreas Öchsner Holm AltenbachThis monograph presents the latest developments and applications of computational tools related to the biosciences and medical engineering. Computational tools such as the finite element methods, computer-aided design and optimization as well as visualization techniques such as computed axial tomography open completely new research fields with a closer joining of the engineering and bio/medical area. Nevertheless, there are still hurdles since both directions are based on quite different ways of education. Often even the "language" is sometimes different from discipline to discipline. This monograph reports the results of different multi-disciplinary research projects, for example, from the areas of scaffolds and synthetic bones, implants and medical devices and medical materials. It is also shown that the application of computational methods often necessitates mathematical and experimental methods.
