Major adaptations occur in the maternal cardiovascular system during pregnancy and after delivery; knowledge of these changes is essential to the health management of pregnant women. This paper presents a longitudinal study and proposes a methodology to monitor daily pulse rates (PRs) and characterize the weekly changes in maternal PRs before and after delivery. PRs were recorded during nightly sleep using an automatic monitoring system. PRs of the nonpregnant woman were taken as a reference. Weekly PR properties were characterized by histogram and a two-Gaussian mixture model. A coupling use of sample entropy and pulse rate was applied to cluster the stages during recovery period after delivery. Results depicted a profile of individual’s cardiac recovery process in late pregnancy and after delivery. The results reveal that maternal PRs show different patterns in various stages of recovery. Later stages of recovery seemed to require a much longer period. The present study introduced a convenient approach in long-term maternal cardiac condition monitoring.

The purpose of wearable technology is to use multimedia, sensors, and wireless communication to integrate specific technology into user clothes or accessories. With the help of various sensors, the physiological monitoring system can collect, process, and transmit physiological signals without causing damage. Wearable technology has been widely used in patient monitoring and people’s health management because of its low-load, mobile, and easy-to-use characteristics, and it supports long-term continuous work and can carry out wireless transmissions. In this paper, we established a Wi-Fi-based physiological monitoring system that can accurately measure heart rate, body surface temperature, and motion data and can quickly detect and alert the user about abnormal heart rates.

The truck scale is more and more applied on the weighing system. To seek illegal profits, many kinds of truck scale cheating method is found in the weighing system. To monitoring the truck scale cheating method, the truck scale cheating automatic monitoring system based on the GPRS is brought out in this paper. The truck scale cheating automatic monitoring system is designed. The monitoring system includes three parts: the monitoring terminal, the GPRS transmission module and the upper monitoring system. The truck scale measurement data of the sensors are collected by the monitoring terminal and sent to the upper monitoring system through the GPRS module. The experimental system is established on the pneumatic conveying system and the experiment is carried out. The experimental results show that the automatic monitoring system can on-line monitor the truck scale cheating method and improves the security of the truck scale weighing system.

Total phosphorus is an much important key water quality parameter . In view of the technical defects of existing detection methods and instruments for in situ monitoring total phosphorus, a new detection method based on ultrasonic assisted sample digestion and spectrum analysis was put forward in this paper, and the automatic monitoring system prototype based on such detection method had been developed. Aiming at wastewater treatment, the spot experiment had been carried out to contrast prototype with Chinas national standard analysis method for on line measuring total phosphorus in the water, and the results of the comparative experiment showed that the automatic monitoring instrument prototypes had good repeatability (10%) and high accuracy (±10%), which met the technical qualifications of Chinas environmental protection industry standards.
