Model-based methods estimating patient-specific respiratory mechanics may help intensive care clinicians in setting optimal ventilation parameters. However, these methods rely heavily on the quality of measured airway pressure and flow profiles for reliable respiratory mechanics estimation. Thus, asynchronous and/or spontaneous breathing cycles tha

To facilitate real-time flow measurement, this paper aims to realize biomass flow sensing through electronic non-contact capacitive means. Hardware implementation has been carried out using a modified OP-AMP-based bridge circuit, with one arm made of a standard capacitance while the other arm is made from two specifically designed capacitive electr
