Abstract:	摘要： This study presents a new type of pulse auscultation system, which uses a condenser microphone to measure pulse sound waves on the wrist, captures the microphone signal for filtering, amplifies the useful signal and outputs it to an oscilloscope in analog form for waveform display and storage and delivers it to a computer to perform a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and convert the pulse sound waveform into a heartbeat frequency. Furthermore, it also uses an audio signal amplifier to deliver the pulse sound by speaker. The study observed the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s pulsing techniques, where pulse signals at places called “cun”, “guan” and “chi” of the left hand were measured during lifting (100 g), searching (125 g) and pressing (150 g) actions. Because the system collects the vibration sound caused by the pulse, the sensor itself is not affected by the applied pressure, unlike current pulse piezoelectric sensing instruments, therefore, under any kind of pulsing pressure, it displays pulse changes and waveforms with the same accuracy. We provide an acquired pulse and waveform signal suitable for Chinese Medicine practitioners’ objective pulse diagnosis, thus providing a scientific basis for this Traditional Chinese Medicine practice. This study also presents a novel circuit design using an active filtering method. An operational amplifier with its differential features eliminates the interference from external signals, including the instant high-frequency noise. In addition, the system has the advantages of simple circuitry, cheap cost and high precision. 其他題名： Sensors (Basel) 出版者： Switzerland: MDPI AG 出版日期： 2015-04-14 出處： Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2015-04, Vol.15 (4), p.8712-8731 資源來源： Publicly Available Content Database 版權： Copyright MDPI AG 2015 版權： 2015 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. 2015 識別號： ISSN: 1424-8220 識別號： EISSN: 1424-8220 識別號： DOI: 10.3390/s150408712 識別號： PMID: 25875192
