Wearable Electronic Medical Devices: What Fails & Why?Cheryl Tulkoff
What are the requirements of wearable electronic medical devices? They must be non-restrictive, portable, always accessible, easily controllable, and have both localized communication and possibly wireless communications capabilities.
Wearable medical electronics falls into the categorization of “Next Generation Technologies”, technologies the supply chain or the user will implement because they are cheaper, faster, and stronger. One of the most common drivers for failure is inappropriate adoption of these new technologies. Since most designers have little or no influence over the packaging technologies chosen for implementation, awareness of the pitfalls and what actions need to be taken to assure that the new technologies are reliable is critical. With these new medical electronics, there are several issues that need to be addressed from a reliability perspective to assure these applications are both safe and reliable.
Some of the challenges that will be discussed included failures due to new device packaging, environmental conditions like sweat, UV & temperature exposure, tumble & drop, bending and torque, and the inevitable water immersion. The implications of RF ID and battery life are also explored.

The MEMS Microphone will remain one of the fastest growing MEMS components due to existing and new opportunities. According to Yole Développement, the market will grow from $785M in 2013 to $1.65B by 2019. Shipments are expected to grow from 2.4B in 2013 to 6.6B units in 2019 which points to a market filled with opportunities for existing new players. Knowles is the dominant player with 61% market shares in 2013 and 58% in 2014. A decrease is again expected in the next years with new challengers entering the market: STMicroelectronics, OMRON, AAC Technologies, Infineon Technologies and InvenSense(Analog Devices).
The global market share of these 6 players account for more than 80% of MEMS Microphone market in 2014. These players are all developing innovative technical and manufacturing solutions and, in parallel of course, the right patents to protect their inventions.
In a patent infringement action, the potential sales volume plays a major role for assessing the damage award. Thereby, this study is naturally focused on the last MEMS Microphone components supplied by these market leaders and challengers: Knowles (S1157, iPhone 5S/6), ST/OMRON (MP45DT01), AAC/Infineon (SR595, iPhone 5S/6), InvenSense/ADI (ICS-43432).
This raises interesting questions: What are the similarities and the differences in term of technical and manufacturing choices at the devices level? What is the related patent situation? Knowmade and System Plus Consulting are joining their unique added value in order to combined technology and manufacturing analysis with patent claims understanding to highlight the risks
of patent infringement between Knowles, STMicroelectronics, OMRON, AAC Technologies, Infineon Technologies, Analog Devices and InvenSense in the field of MEMS Microphone.

Development of Guiding Cane with Voice Notification for Visually Impaired ind...IJECEIAES
Navigation in the physical environment is a challenge for those people who have very limited sense of sight or no vision at all. Assistive technologies for blind mobilization is not new and always have a room for improvement. Moreover, these assistive devices are limited in terms of its sensing and feedback abilities. This paper presents a microcontroller-based guiding stick capable of detecting several conditions of the environment such as obstacles in front, left and right positions of the user and detects ascending and descending staircases. The feedback is delivered by an audio output which dictates the direction to go or what condition the sensor detects in front of the user. Technical evaluation proves that the device was functional in terms of its accuracy, responsiveness and correctness. On the other hand, in the actual evaluation of the device with the visually impaired individuals, the device did not perform efficiently. It was also found that the device has the potential to be used effectively by the visually impaired who acquired their blindness in later stage of their life provided that they will have a proper training in using the device while navigating in the physical environment.

An embedded system is a computer system designed to do one or a few dedicated and/or specific functions often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-user needs. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.
Physically, embedded systems range from portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players, to large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory controllers, or the systems controlling nuclear power plants. Complexity varies from low, with a single microcontroller chip, to very high with multiple units, peripherals and networks mounted inside a large chassis or enclosure.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS is a unique system of connected objects that can collect, process, and transfer data with the help of wireless networks without the assistance of humans. The main challenge with IoT testing is the fact that it covers many industries and use cases, with massive cross-platform deployment of embedded technologies. Many alliances are trying to create a single protocol to allow all global devices to communicate with each other, yet, there are still many standards one can choose from. The devices can rely on Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth Mesh, or Wi-Fi. as well as LoRa, or others and the more standards, the more challenging it is to do proper testing.
Experts predict there will be 41 billion IoT devices by 2027, with another 127 devices connected every second. That’s a lot of things. With the proliferation of IoT devices, connected device testing has become more important than ever. As is the case with any product connected or not it’s always good to thoroughly test it to ensure any issues won’t adversely impact the performance of the rest of the system. Testing brings predictability to the system and reveals any potentially harmful bugs, ensuring the device meets a high standard of quality and the expectations of end users.
