Follow on Google News | Saelig Introduces Novel Electric Potential Sensor for Non-contact ECG and Gesture MeasurementsThe EPIC Sensor will revolutionize the way medical ECG/EEG/EOG, movement sensing, proximity switching, or even gesture recognition signals are taken in medical and sports instruments, toys, electric appliances, smart lighting, gaming, and security.
By: Saelig Co. Inc. The EPIC Sensor will revolutionize the way medical ECG/EEG/EOG, movement sensing, proximity non-touch switching, or even gesture recognition signals are taken in medical and sports instruments, toys, electric appliances, smart lighting, gaming, and security. The electrode surface of the detector is coated with a passivated thin dielectric for direct application to a test surface (such as human skin) without the need for electrically conductive gel. It can be used as a dry contact ECG sensor without the need for potentially dangerous low impedance circuits across the heart. By detecting changes in the electric field, the EPIC sensor can also drive a relay to act as a simple non-touch electric switch. The EPIC sensor can be employed in a proximity mode or to detect specific kinds of movement as a gesture recognition device. As the EPIC sensor does not need line of sight, it can even detect movement through solid walls, and can also be used to replace, or as an adjunct to, passive infra-red (PIR) sensors in a variety of applications including security motion detectors. Dr. Keith Strickland, Plessey Technology Director, comments, “With the EPIC sensor chip, discrete movements of the human body can be detected - even several meters away. For example, the sensor can be configured to detect the proximity of a hand or to detect specific hand motions. These first applications are paving the way for the next generation of sensor array devices that will change the way we write on tablets, use smart phones, control televisions, and interact with gaming applications.” Applications include: electrophysiological signal detection, ECG/EOG/EMG/ Video demos of the EPIC sensor can be found at http://www.plesseysemiconductors.com/ Made by Plessey Electronics, a leading European innovator in the development of integrated circuits and sensors, EPIC Sensor Demo Boards ($250.00 each) and a ready-made drive electronics Controller Box ($2995.00 inc. two sensor demo boards) are available now from Saelig Company, Inc.
