| Abstract | In the Biomedical Wireless Sensor Network (BWSN) project a consortium of Scandinavian research institutions, technology startup companies, sensor producers, software companies and a hospital based clinical test facility collaborated for 36 months. A portfolio of multiple, experimental wireless sensor prototypes were implemented in sophisticated process control software modified for the project. The project objective was to facilitate real time and historical point-of-care sensor data for clinical decision support and monitoring in hemodynamic treatment. The wireless communication platform and results from clinical tests are presented in this paper. The radio frequency platform used in the project was operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band based on the IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Personal Area Network standard. Invasive sensors included a non-disposable blood pressure sensor, an epicardial 3- axis accelerometer and a digital pulmonary air leakage system. Non-invasive sensor signals came from an ECG sensor, a pulse oximeter, a medical radar and a temperature sensor. Point-to-point transmission of radio frequency signals from sensors to base stations and onwards in the biomedical wireless sensor network (BWSN) architecture was scrutinized during experimental surgery. A qualitative assessment of the sensor data presentation was made. Occurrence of shadowing effects influencing the radio frequency channel performance was quantified. The shadowing effects were caused by the dynamic work pattern of the clinical team in combination with stationary equipment in the operating room during surgery. The shadowing effects were not found to compromise the quality of the wireless sensor data. Shadowing parameters to reconstruct our measurements and model the communication links between individual sensors and two separate base stations are provided. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
