Sir John Ambrose Fleming Born 29 Nov 1849
English engineer who made numerous
contributions to
electronics, photometry,
electric measurements,
and wireless telegraphy.
In 1904, he discovered
the one directional
current effect between a
positively biassed
electrode, which he called
the anode, and the heated filament in an
evacuated glass tube; the electrons flowed
from filament to anode only. Fleming called the
device a diode because it
contained two
electrodes, the anode and the heated filament.
He noted that when an
alternating current was
applied, only the positive
halves of the waves were passed - that is,
the wave was rectified (from a.c. to d.c.). It
would also take a radio frequency wave and
produce d.c.corresponding
to the on and off of the Morse code transmitted
signals.

How Technology is Used
to Track Surgical
Instruments
There are dozens of
horror stories all over the
Internet and on the TV
about people who had a
surgical procedure
performed and a number
of years later they find
out that the surgeon left
a clamp or pair of
scissors inside the
patient. While these
incidents are few and far
between they did
happen, which is why
many hospitals are
taking preventative
measures to ensure that
this does not happen.
The preventative
measures that hospitals
are taking to prevent
these types of incidents
from happening require
the use of technology.
Every piece of surgical
equipment will contain a
small bar code on it.
These bar codes identify
the surgical tool and
what doctor checked it
into the operating room.
The problem with the bar
code system is that it
required the surgeon to
hand count all pieces of
equipment that didn’t
contain a bar code and it
only allowed people to
trace back who was
responsible for the piece
of equipment being left
inside the patient.
Recently hospitals have
started to develop a
system that uses radio-
frequency identification
system for the tools
that are used in an
operating room. The way
that radio-frequency
identification systems
work is that each piece
of equipment contains a
small radio-frequency
identifier on it. Inside
each operating room is a
small antenna that will
be able to pick up the
signal from the pieces of
equipment that contain
the radio-frequency
identifier on it.
The way that hospitals
track the equipment is
through the use of the
surgeon and registration.
A surgeon must register
the surgical tray and
equipment that they will
use before the operation.
At the end of the
procedure the surgeon
places into the software
program what was used
and the system will track
down any missing pieces
of equipment that might
have been brought into
the operating room.
While radio-frequency
tracking doesn’t prevent
surgeons from forgetting
surgical tools in a patient
it does allow surgeons to
track down when it
happens and get the
tools out of the patient
quicker.

Biomedical engineering is a
discipline that advances
knowledge in engineering,
biology and medicine, and
improves human health through cross-disciplinary
activities that integrate the
engineering sciences with the
biomedical sciences and
clinical practice. It includes:
1.The acquisition of new knowledge and understanding of living systems through the
innovative and substantive
application of experimental
and analytical techniques
based on the engineering
sciences.
2. The development
of new devices, algorithms,
processes and systems that
advance biology and medicine and improve medical
practice and health care
delivery.
As used by the
foundation, the term "biomedical engineering
research" is thus defined in
a broad sense: It includes
not only the relevant
applications of engineering to
medicine but also to the basic
life sciences.
