ASIC Implementation of Denoising Filters for Pacemakers [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cardiac Pacemakers are used to regulate the hearts rhythm and prevent abnormal heart beats. Patients undergo a minimal surgery to get the pacemaker implanted in the body, whereas these devices do have their limitations such as battery life, power consumption and integrated circuit area which makes it difficult for elderly and children to undergo this ...

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases
