If any of these projects spark an idea or you simply want more technical details, email Bitworks , and we'll try our best to answer your question. This monitor is used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. A probe is used to stimulate nerve endings in a patients skin tissue. The nerve response is then measured and displayed on the screen. This allows the doctor to pinpoint critical nerves thereby avoiding them with the scalpel.
System uses twin embedded processors, utilizing mixed C and assembly code.
Bitworks works in conjunction with Xomed's internal engineers to keep the software up to date. Extremely low level signals makes the analog portion of this design most challenging. This board would accept, compress and store each 4M byte image in less than 1 second. This system is used by the US Postal Sevice to collect all of it's test images for research purposes. This custom VME card receives image data from a CCD camera, performs a white balance correction operation, and stores the image in one of two 4M byte buffers in less than 100ms .
