Term Monitoring

Long term monitoring of walking in trans-tibial amputees (TTA) is considered important for prosthetic prescription and therapy evaluation. The purpose of this study was to develop a device with the following design criteria: lightweight, easy attachment to the prosthesis, energy and memory capacity for five days and practical in clinical use. The prototype (CAMP: Continuous Ambulatory Monitoring of Prosthetic walking) consists of a cylindrical unit containing an accelerometer, a miniature computer and six batteries. Specifications, data acquisition and processing, instructions for users and first results are presented and discussed. The CAMP prototype proved to be a useful device for measuring relevant aspects of prosthetic use for up to five days.

This research note describes the design and testing of a device for unobtrusive, long-term ambulatory monitoring of voice use, named the Portable Vocal Accumulator (PVA). The PVA contains a digital signal processor for analyzing input from a neck-placed miniature accelerometer. During its development, accelerometer recordings were obtained from 99 participants with normal or dysphonic voices. The recordings were used to (a) test the specifications and capabilities of the PVA for monitoring normal and dysphonic voices and (b) explore potentially useful displays for the large quantity of data generated by long-term monitoring. The current prototype PVA is pocket-sized (12 x 8.5 x 2 cm), lightweight (200 g), and capable of sampling 11 hr of voice-use data, including estimates of fundamental frequency, sound pressure level, and phonation duration.

Epilepsy Monitoring

Long-term monitoring is a set of methods for recording electroencephalographic (EEG) signals over a period of 24 hours or longer. Patient video recording is often synchronized to the EEG. Interpretation aids help physicians to identify events, which include automated spike and seizure detection and various trending displays of frequency EEG content. These techniques are used in epilepsy monitoring units for presurgical evaluations and differential diagnosis of seizures versus nonepileptic events. They are used in intensive care units to identify nonconvulsive seizures, to measure the effectiveness of therapy, to assess depth and prognosis in coma, and other applications. The patient can be monitored at home with ambulatory monitoring equipment. Specialized training is needed for competent interpretation of long-term monitoring EEGs. Problems include false-positive events flagged by automated spike and seizure detection software, and muscle and movement artifact contamination during seizures.

Abstract In the beginning of August 2009 a long-term monitoring started in a recently built passive house near Isaszeg. The first results were presented in the last year's conference. The present paper gives an overview about a whole-year data evaluation focusing on energy consumption. During the first year of building occupancy three types of heat suppliers and two types of heat exchangers in the ventilation systems were applied and monitored, thus different heating options could be compared.

FACT is the first imaging Cherenkov telescope based on a camera using solid state photosensors (Geigermode Avalanche Photodiodes G-APD aka SiPM). Since October 2011, it has been taking data regularly. Apart from commissioning and calibration measurements, it has already started regular operation, where the main goal is to do long-term monitoring of bright TeV blazars. In June 2012, a flare of Mrk 501 was observed. Thanks to the robustness of the G-APDs, observations can be carried out during strong moon light without aging of the sensors. This improves the duty cycle of the instrument and provides better statistics for long-term light curves. The telescope, situated on the Canary Island of La Palma, is operated, already now, remotely from central Europe. For the future, robotic operation is planned. We report on our experiences during the commissioning, and we present first results from the first 1.5 years of observations.

We present the first results of a long-term monitoring program of observations in the near infrared of a selected sample of OH/IR stars included in the IRAS Point Source Catalogue. The observations have been made using the 1.5m Sanchez Magro Telescope (SMT) at Izaña (Tenerife, Spain) since the beginning of 1991 and are still in progress. They are being complemented with observations made using the 1m ESO photometric telescope (La Silla, Chile). The sample includes 30 OH/IR stars with a variety of infrared and OH maser luminosities, expansion velocities, LRS classes and position in the IRAS two-colour diagram.
