Summary: This article presents a prototype of a new, non-invasive, cuffless, self-calibrating blood pressure measuring device equipped with a pneumatic pressure sensor. The developed device does not require a cuff and can be used on arteries where cuff placement would be impossible. The obtained results showed that the systolic and diastolic pressure measurement errors of the proposed device were within acceptable limits.

Summary: Argo salinity is a critical in situ ocean measurement for scientific applications. However, caution should be exercised when using raw, unadjusted salinity data due to potential bias from instrument problems. Argo delayed-mode salinity data, which have been evaluated and adjusted for sensor drift, provide improved accuracy and uncertainty estimates for research applications sensitive to salinity errors.

Summary: An integrated aerodynamic three-hole pressure probe based on a fiber-optic tip sensor array has been developed for high-velocity flow field vector measurement. The probe consists of three miniature pressure fiber-tip sensors integrated into three pressure conduits to reduce pneumatic pressure loss and improve the reliability of flow analysis. Fast real-time data acquisition is achieved using a self-developed multichannel white light interferometry interrogator.

Summary: Novel cuffless wearable devices and smartphone applications claiming to measure blood pressure have gained popularity among healthcare professionals and patients, despite serious concerns about their accuracy and validation challenges. Existing standards for automated BP measurement devices are not suitable for cuffless devices, leading to potentially misleading conclusions in published data. Further research is needed to evaluate the capabilities and limitations of these emerging technologies.

Summary: The study developed a novel portable pressure measuring device for accurate pressure measurements at the hypertrophic scar-pressure garment interface. Results showed that the test-retest reliability of the novel device was close to the acceptable level for clinical use, and the pressure values obtained from the device were consistent with those from the traditional PicoPress(R) measurements.

Summary: This study investigated the factors influencing the accuracy of noninvasive central blood pressure (cSBP) measurement. The results showed that noninvasive cSBP measurements are comparable to invasive measurements, although they may slightly underestimate true cSBP. The type of BP measurement device used may affect the accuracy of measurement, while the type of calibration method implemented does not have a significant influence.

Summary: This study reviewed previous approaches to direct nerve compression pressure measurement (DNCPM) and evaluated the feasibility and reliability of currently available microsensor systems in preclinical nerve compression models. The results showed that measurement variability caused by unreliable sensor positioning is a key limitation of presently available sensors. The authors suggest redesigning systems for reliable measurements.

Summary: An accurate metrological investigation was conducted on the two de facto standards for deep-ocean temperature measurements, revealing inconsistencies and unexplained uncertainties in the units' calibration. The effects of pressure on the response of the units were also explored, highlighting the need for individual temperature-pressure calibration for each unit.

Summary: An all-fabric pressure sensor with high sensitivity and wide range of pressure detection is introduced. It utilizes p-doped PEDOT-Cl coated on natural textiles to achieve tunable pressure sensitivity and low power demand. The sensor is also encapsulated with a hydrophobic coating for excellent stability and durability.

Summary: This research introduces a new method to estimate the position of a robot's Tool Center Point (TCP) using IMUs, sensor fusion, and ANNs. The method employs a non-parametric approach to reset the reference dynamically, minimize sensor noise, and accurately predict the TCP position in real-time.

Summary: To ensure smooth robot operations, it is important to determine the parameters of the robot's kinematic model and the registration transformation between the robot base and the world coordinate frame. The use of full pose measurements can significantly reduce robot orientation errors compared to calibration and registration procedures based on 3D data only. Robot position errors are comparable for both types of data.

Summary: Pressure garments are commonly used to treat scars after major trauma, but the optimal pressure for treatment is unknown. The introduction of Pressure Garment Design Tools has the potential to improve the consistency and effectiveness of treatment, as well as facilitate easier auditing of past treatments.
