Types Of Human Body Sensors

Thermometers are a type of sensor commonly used in health care.

Types of human body sensors.

We live in a world of sensors. This lesson highlights the similarities between human sensors and their engineering counterparts. Thermometers translate the expansion of a fluid or bending of a metal strip in response to heat into a number corresponding to body temperature. Many different types of sensors are already used in health care including self care at home.

In your eyes you have two different types of light sensors. The lesson includes a powerpoint file that is programmed to run a. You can find different types of sensors in our homes offices cars etc. Temperature blood pressure humidity speed etc into a signal which can be measured electrically sensor can be defined as an element that senses in one form of energy to produce a variant in same or another form of energy.

Humans have recreated most human sensors in robots eyes ears and sensors for temperature touch and smell. One set of sensors called the rods senses light intensity and works well in low light situations. The other type called cones can sense colors and actually there are three different types of cones for the three primary colors and require fairly intense light to be activated. Sensors are sophisticated devices that are frequently used to detect and respond to electrical or optical signals.

Working to make our lives easier by turning on the lights by detecting our presence adjusting the room temperature detect smoke or fire make us delicious coffee open garage doors as soon as our car is near the door and many other tasks. Therefore in this work we propose an effective and efficient system that is able to recognize a human s physical activities automatically through analysis of the signals acquired in real time from multiple body worn or body embedded inertial sensors.
