, the integration ofthis measurement apparatus can be divided by four parts: “system design”, “optical systemintegration”, “data acquirement”, and “data analysis”. Students from Physics Department andDepartment of Optics and Photonics had been participated in this project in their “Special TopicsStudy” course. In this paper, we would like to share our approach to realize the physical conceptwith the community in the hope that this selected topic will be helpful for teaching the principlesand methods about index characterization.Measurement principle and resultAs shown in Fig-1, one laser beam is incident on a prism of apex angle . The first air-prisminterface which laser beam enters is regarded as “entrance face” and the one which laser

Students progressivelylearn to monitor and interpret the conventional noninvasive electrocardiography by leveragingthe power of java’s graphical user interface and data structures.The paper explains the laboratory setup of a basic 3-lead EKG monitoring station using moderndata acquisition tool and software for EKG feature extraction. Students will begin their analysisby looking at rate, rhythm, axis, hypertrophy, and infarction and correlate the characteristicappearance on the EKG with existing conditions, certain pathology, and drug or electrolyteeffects. A diagnostic tool using Java and Objective-C programming is then developed. Thegraphical user

For this experiment, the antenna andthe receiver were connected above each other on a wooden pole. Antenna height was fixed at 3.5feet from the ground. This set up has been shown in figure -3. When a tag is placed facing theantenna, its reading is taken for 20 seconds. All RFID readings are taken for to
