Heart Rate
17
How to Find Max Heart Rate

• Used to find level of physical exertion
• Formula for Males
• 210 - 0.5(age) 0.05(weight) 4 Max HR
• Formula for Females
• 210 - 0.5(age) 0.01(weight) Max HR

18

• Five exercise heart rate zones
• 50 to 60 max heart rate
• 60 to 70 max heart rate
• 70 to 80 max heart rate
• 80 to 90 max heart rate
• 90 to 100 max heart rate
• Each zone represents a different level of
  physical exertion

19
Weight Exercise
20
Workout Intensity Energy Sources

• High intensity workouts ? carbohydrates
• limited amount of glycogen can be stored in
  muscles sustainable only for short periods of
  time
• Low intensity workouts ? fat
• large stores of fat sustainable for long
  periods of time

RFID Technology
24
Basics

• Use of EM (radio) waves to send/receive signals
  between a transponder or RF tag and transceiver
  (with decoder)
• Antennas exist in many shapes
• can be built into doorways, tollbooths, etc.
• Electromagnetic Frequency can be constantly
  present or activated by sensor

25
Passive RFID

• Reflects/absorbs small amount of energy from
  readers signal to generate its own signal, ie.,
  no battery
• Reader must produce large amt. of power
• Small range (lt3m)- only produces power within
  reader range, tag can only transmit very weak
  signal
• Lower cost, longer life than active RFID tags

26
Modern Uses of RFID

• Basic categories
• Transportation and logistics
• Manufacturing and processing
• Security
• Other examples
• Postal tracking
• Electronic monitoring of offenders at home
• Sport time recording

27
RFID Standards
28
Standards

• Currently no universal standards are set for RFID
  frequencies
• ISO (International Standards Organization)
• Sets the standards for many technological devices
  
• based in Geneva, Switzerland
• Set frequency standards for RFID tags in 2004
  (ISO 18000 series)

29
ISO Standards for RFID Air Interfaces (18000
Series)

• Part 1- generic parameters for air interface
  communication for globally accepted frequencies
• Part 2- parameters for air interface
  communications below 135 KHz
• Part 3- Parameters for Air Interface
  Communications at 13.56 MHz
• ISO standard for high frequency
• Has read/writing capability

30
ISO Standards for RFID Air Interfaces (18000
Series)

• Part 4- Parameters for Air Interface
  Communications at 2.45 GHZ
• Part 5- Parameters for Air Interface
  Communications at 5.8 GHz
• Part 6- Parameters for Air Interface
  Communications at 860-930 MHz
• Part 7- Parameters for Air Interface
  Communications at 433.92 MHz

Wireless Technology
32
Components of a Wireless System
33
Wireless Standards
34
WiFi

• Advantages
• A WiFi network already exists in the Kern Center
• Large bandwidth allows high data transfer rates
• Disadvantages
• High data rate requires large power consumption
• Relatively large circuit board size
• Requires additional hardware to handle ethernet
  style interface
• Network may not cover entire running track
• Operates at resonant frequency of water (2.4GHz)

35
ZigBee

• Advantages
• Range may be adequate
• Narrower bandwidth requires less power
• Small size and low cost
• Disadvantages
• Controller software is complex and difficult to
  learn
• Implementation requires at least 64k of flash
  memory (requires expensive microcontroller)
• Mesh networking is required for reliable
  performance

36
Bluetooth

• The short range would be prohibitively
  problematic
• This standard would not be a good choice for our
  design

37
Proprietary Solutions

• Many proprietary wireless modules offer numerous
  advantages over the standardized solutions
• Longer range
• Better performance
• Easier to implement
• Offer other features such as low power and sleep
  modes that arent present in the standards based
  solutions
