Dr. Koblasz, ECE4884 L05 April 22, 2008
Develop an inexpensive hospital bed mattress that can reduce the risk of bedsores and spread of Nosocomial infections.
Cost of prototype – $1,290
($1,300 less than predicted)
OVERVIEW
1/21
2/21
Bedsores
• Definition: Unrelieved pressure to part of body for extended period of time, cutting off oxygen and blood flow
• Statistics: - 60,000 deaths/years in America - 1 million patients/year in America - 2/3 of bedsores occur in people over 70 years old
• Costs – over $1 billion/year
Life-Threatening
Life-Threatening - All Hospitalized Patients at Risk• Definition:
Hospital-Acquired Infections caused by bacteria,
viruses, etc. Includes Staph Infections• Statistics:
- more than 2 million cases/year in America
- 17,500 – 70,000 deaths/year in America• Causes:
- Sloppy hygiene: 36% preventable (CDC report)
- Aging hospitals: old mattresses
• Costs - $4.5 - $5.7 billion/year
Nosocomial Infections

Proximity to Metals
• Difficult to find Matching Network
• Nearby PC monitors
• PROXIMITY WITH METALS Altered performance of the RFID system can be expected when metals are in close proximity of the radiation field. Proximity to metals effectively lowers the antenna's inductance. Lower inductance causes an increase in resonant frequency and also a reduction in "Q". Designers may consider starting with a higher-than-needed "Q" "in the lab" to start with, expecting it to be lowered when it is installed in its intended location. External capacitance may be required to tune the modified antenna system back to resonance. These types of situations can be experienced around conveyor belt structures and also embedding antenna loops on concrete driveways where metal re-bar absorbs some of the radiated energy.
