Characterization of path loss and absorption for a wireless radio frequency link between an in-body endoscopy capsule and a receiver outside the body [PDF]
, 2014 Physical-layer characterization is important for design of in-to-out body communication for wireless body area networks (WBANs). This paper numerically investigates the path loss and absorption of an in-to-out body radio frequency (RF) wireless link ...

Simulation of human gait with body weight support: benchmarking models and unloading strategies
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020 Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated ...

Tensor-Based Human Body Modeling [PDF]
2013 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2013 In this paper, we present a novel approach to model 3D human body with variations on both human shape and pose, by exploring a tensor decomposition technique. 3D human body modeling is important for 3D reconstruction and animation of realistic human body, which can be widely used in Tele-presence and video game applications.

Physiological models of body composition and human obesity
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2007 Background The body mass index (BMI) is the standard parameter for predicting body fat fraction and for classifying degrees of obesity. Currently available regression equations between BMI and fat are based on 2 or 3 parameter empirical fits and have not

Investigations on tram-pedestrian impacts by application of virtual testing with human body models
European Transport Research Review, 2023 Background In Austria around 100 trams are involved in accidents with pedestrians every year. Since the service lives of trams are very high, the probabilities are also high that each tram on the network will be involved in an accident of this kind at ...
