Telemetry Uses in Technology

The future of communications is wireless and this includes telemetry applications. Telemetry is the process by which measurements are collected and made and transmitted to equipment in other locations for viewing, monitoring, and recording. Its origins go back to the early 1900s when data transmissions were monitored on a number of electric power stations by a central command center. Telemetry then underwent extensive research and development by NASA who perfected telemetry and expanded its uses to include commercialization of high-data-rate technology and products for use in private sectors.

This process of privatization of this technology enabled NASA employees leaving the agency to join industries and use their technological education and expertise to further invent and develop products used in commercial markets around the world. Ground station equipment performs both traditional and bridging/switching functions to interconnect local and regional communication networks with other space and ground communications networks. Advances in wireless technologies have experienced great things relative to telemetry from wire transmissions to radio transmissions to global systems for mobile transmissions. Telemetry uses include monitoring of huge systems like satellites, power plants, oil rigs, geological and meteorological, logistics, tracking endangered species, and monitoring manned and unmanned air and space flights to simple tasks like remote meter readings.

An example of one of the great beneficiaries of this technology is the medical industry and communications equipment. Where we would be and how many of us might not have survived medical emergencies or trauma had it not been for wireless medical telemetry technology? We have at our services multi-band technology that the unique ability to utilize three independent telemetry bands to increase hospital flexibility and capacity. These things along with cost efficiency and expandability are of primary concern to medical facilities in selecting wireless equipment for patient care and monitoring.

Reliability is the most important consideration and objective, and patient safety cannot be unnecessarily compromised. Reliability is somewhat dependent on telemetry band selection but more dependent on the communications architecture when the system is being used. The FCC has developed new regulations for patient monitoring devices to prevent any interruption of telemetry being used. These rules enable hospitals to use the equipment that have on the 2.4 GHz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) or the equipment must be WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service). The latter is the only system capable of supporting multiple bands outside digital television broadcast channels meaning there is no possibility of potential interference from other systems and wireless devices. There are multiple uses of telemetry monitoring including wireless stress tests and ECG monitoring, and this ability enables continued growth and expansion of parameters in monitoring telemetry.

These new wireless systems are functional not only in hospital settings but also ambulances, emergency aircraft, and other emergency medical support agencies. The technology enables treatment of critical patients in lower acuity beds and increases the number of telemetry channels needed eliminating the need for more expensive intensive and critical care hospital units and associated personnel. It is more cost effective in all ways as the additional channels and bandwidth supports more parameters and has the potential to both provide better patient care and reduce health care costs delivering real benefits to patients and medical caregivers.

We have come a long way in the uses of telemetry technology and wireless technology promises more and better benefits in future applications.

Mysteries of Muscle Memory

When you learned to write, you trained the muscles in your arm and hand to create letters. It took time and concentration to do this, but with repetition it became automatic. Your hand developed muscle memory; when you write your name, your muscles remember how to move without focusing on the process.

Dancing, yoga, gymnastics and weight training are examples of other activities that require enhanced muscle memory. We can make the learning process easier and help establish muscle memory by using a few simple techniques:

* Visual images
* Repetition
* Slow motion
* Micromovement

Imagery

Using a visual image is an effective way to train your body to perform a new dance step or exercise. the best visual images are those which are familiar and detailed.

In dance, visualizing a movement helps you perform the step. For example, if a dancer wants to make an S-curving motion with her body, she can visualize a fish swimming, a camel walking, or a snake crawling. Since the best visual images are familiar and detailed, visualizing the color, texture, shape and markings of the image make it more vivid and effective. Likewise, visualizing yourself correctly repeating a new dance step or exercise makes the learning process easier.

Many people find geometric shapes helpful. For example, you can imagine drawing a big circle to make learning a belly dance hip circle or circle step easier. A square is a useful image for learning a box step or hip square.

Repetition & slow motion

Repetition helps fix a new exercise or dance movement in your mind, so that the next time you perform it, you remember it more easily and perform it with less effort. Slow repetitions of a new exercise or dance step enable you to feel every nuance of the movement.

Rushing through a movement before youve completely mastered it skips over the important process of sensing every nuance of the movement; beginning dance students and exercisers often need to be reminded to slow down. Going slowly helps your muscles recognize precisely what the movement should feel like when performed correctly.

Micromovement

Micromovement means performing a movement in a very tiny way, using the least range of motion possible. For example, if you were writing the letter O ten inches high and then writing o in a script so tiny it could barely be seen, your O would require a much larger hand movement than tiny letter o, the micromovement. Using a tiny range of motion helps you sense subtle muscle movements which are occurring, but micromovements must be performed with awareness to get the full benefit. Going slowly helps.

have fun with learning!

Select the movement or exercise you are working on, then answer the following:

Imagery: what animal, shape or object does it remind you of?
Repetition: what kind of music would help you when practicing this movement?
Slow motion: how many counts does it take you to complete one repetition?
Micromovement:what is the smallest range of motion you can use for the movement?
