Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog's plug and play technology is based
on each sensor's ability to store its own data due to an internal flash
memory chip and micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store the digital data
o
in the correct scientific units (
C,
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in
the logger can be upgraded for free at any time using the provided
firmware update.
The blood pressure sensor uses the piezoresistive effect. The
transducer is made of two metal foils separated by silicon; when
pressure is applied on the transducer its resistance changes. One
side of it is at complete vacuum which enables the measurement of
the absolute pressure on its other side.
This transducer is built as a strain gauge with a Wheatstone bridge
circuit. Its voltage's output depends on the absolute pressure.
When the user pumps, a pressure is applied directly to the blood
pressure monitor cuff's bladder and it is detected by an internal
sensing unit. The pressure in the cuff is equal to the pressure
operated on the subject's arm.
The heart beats affect the subject's pressure and thus create very
small fluctuations in the gas pressure in the cuff. This gives an AC
signal reading on a DC signal.
