Abstract

Manually adjusting hospital beds presents significant challenges for healthcare professionals, which affects their workflow and patient care outcomes. Manual bed modifications consume a significant amount of time, resulting in nurses being less available for other crucial duties. Patient needs can be delayed, and the quality of care delivered overall can be lowered. Manually adjusting the bed to ensure safety and comfort is a risky practice that could result in incorrect placement that can worsen pre-existing medical issues or cause discomfort and pressure sores. In addition, the demand for accurate and frequent bed changes during the day increases the strain on nurses, especially in situations with high patient turnover or complex care needs. The objective of this study is to create a hospital bed that responds to voice commands to improve patient care and monitoring. The bed's voice recognition technology allows patients to adjust their positions and improve comfort and accessibility, particularly for individuals with mobility issues. It includes sensors that continuously measure the patient's heart rate and temperature while they are in bed. These sensors provide real-time data, enabling prompt detection of any irregularities and facilitating immediate intervention in the patient's heartbeat and temperature. The combination of voice control and continuous health monitoring ensures a higher standard of patient care, improves patient autonomy, and reduces the workload on medical staff. The aim of this innovative bed is to create a healthcare environment that is more responsive and efficient, which ultimately leads to better patient outcomes and enhanced overall hospital efficiency.

Abstract

A low-profile dual U-shaped monopole antenna designed for WLAN, WiMAX, and C-band applications has been implemented in this paper. The proposed antenna has covering frequency ranges of 2.7-3.1 GHz, 4.0-5.2 GHz, and 5.9-6.4 GHz. The compact antenna's antenna size is 24×30×0.8 mm3, and the antenna has achieved bandwidths of 13.79%, 26.67%, and 8.1% across the respective bands. This frequency band is achieved as a result of dual inversion to each other in U shape. The low profile of the proposed antenna enables its easy and fast inculcation in modern communication devices.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a miniaturized dual L-shaped inverted to each other dual-band monopole antenna intended for 5G and wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna, with compact dimensions of 20×20×1.6 mm3, operates in two frequency bands (3.2-3.6 GHz)/3.5GHz and (6.0-6.6 GHz)/6.5GHz. These frequency bands are critical for 5G technology, ensuring high-speed data transfer and improved network efficiency. The antenna achieves bandwidths of 11.7% and 9.3% for the lower and upper bands, respectively, offering robust performance and adaptability in diverse wireless communication scenarios. The design employs a dual L shape inverted to each other configuration with truncated L shaped ground plane to achieve the desired miniaturization and dual-band functionality. The antenna's performance metrics, including return loss, gain, and radiation patterns, demonstrate its suitability for integration into compact wireless devices, thereby advancing the development of efficient and space-saving 5G communication systems.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a center C-shaped dual-band rectangular monopole antenna optimized for Wi-Fi and wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna operates efficiently within the frequency ranges of 1.4-1.8 GHz and 5.2-5.8 GHz, targeting dual-band functionality. The proposed antenna has achieved dual band because it has a rectangular ring with C-shaped cutting on the patch antenna. The compact dimensions of 39 × 50 × 1.6 mm3 designed on FR4 electrodes having a dielectric constant of 4.4 make it suitable for integration into modern wireless devices. The antenna achieves a bandwidth of 10.9% and 25% in the respective frequency bands as a result of the C-shaped resonating cavity. Simulated results demonstrate the antenna's capability to maintain stable gain and omnidirectional radiation patterns across the desired frequencies. The versatility and compactness of this monopole antenna make it an ideal candidate for next-generation Wi-Fi and wireless communication systems.

Abstract

This comparison study investigates the influence of subchannel symbol rates on the Wavelength Selective Switching (WSS) filtering penalties in elastic optical networks. Within these networks, WSS is essential for the signal filtering process. This study compares and evaluates the filtering penalty for several modulation styles and subchannel symbol rates, including variable and fixed subchannel symbol rates. This paper investigates the performance of WSS filtering and its sensitivity to these parameters through comprehensive testing and analysis. The findings enable the improvement of WSS filtering efficiency in elastic optical networks by illuminating the ideal subchannel symbol rates. This study advances effective signal processing methodologies in contemporary communication systems.
