BlueLabs Develops Wireless Technology for Transmission of Biological Signals.Business Editors STOCKHOLM Stockholm (stŏk`hôlm'), city (1995 pop. 692,954), capital of Sweden and of Stockholm co., E Sweden, situated where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. , Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2000 Bluetooth A wireless personal area network (WPAN) standard for short-range transmission of digital voice and data. Bluetooth is widely used for hands-free cellphone operation, including wireless headsets and connecting to Bluetooth-enabled automobiles that turn the car's audio system into a technology can now be used to transmit To send data over a communications line. See transfer. signals from man to machine. BlueLabs (formerly Frontec Teknik) has developed a solution that allows biological signals to be transmitted without having to attach sensors
Biosys' system Biodrow measures human biological signals such as heart activity, movement and respiration respiration, process by which an organism exchanges gases with its environment. The term now refers to the overall process by which oxygen is abstracted from air and is transported to the cells for the oxidation of organic molecules while carbon dioxide (CO using sensors built into a chair. BlueLabs has now developed a wireless link that transmits this information to a computer for further processing. One concrete application of the system is in a "slumber warning" in vehicles, to warn a driver that he is going to sleep and wake him up. "The project is one of the first to combine Bluetooth with advanced medical technology. It is also a striking example of how intelligent communication - BlueLabs' focal area - can result in concrete solutions for the end-user," says Otto Otto, Austrian archduke Otto: see Hapsburg, Otto von. Lilja of BlueLabs. "We chose BlueLabs as our co-operation partner in the project because of the company's high level of competence and innovation. BlueLabs is in the vanguard Vanguard Any of three unmanned U.S. experimental satellites. Vanguard I (1958), the second U.S. satellite placed in orbit around Earth (after Explorer 1), was a tiny 3.25-lb (1.47-kg) sphere with two radio transmitters. of Bluetooth technology and this, combined with our knowledge of medical technology, was one of the factors in the project's success," says Olle Magnusson, President of Biosys. Demo equipment will be on show to the public for the first time on BlueLabs' stand at the Components & Electronics Production fair in Gothenburg, which runs from 5 to 9 September 2000 (stand B3:59). BlueLabs is an Ericsson-certified Bluetooth Solution Provider. BlueLabs is a high-tech company focusing on intelligent communication. We supply top-level competence for applications within the areas of mobile IT, advanced telecoms, intelligent vehicles and intelligent homes.
