A comb shape rectangular slotted 1  4 microstrip patch array antenna is proposed and designed for wireless local area network applications. The functional parameters of the antenna namely, return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern are analyzed. The FR4 substrate is used to the proposed antenna. The dimension of proposed antenna is 143mm of width and 71mm of length and the patch dimension is 29.6mm of width and 38mm of length. The return loss and VSWR of 1  4 array antenna is -34.8815dB and 1.012, respectively. The rectangular slots are taken in equal length and width in order to enhance the performance.

During the last few years, a lot of study and research on the analysis of Electrocardiogram(ECG) has provided an intensive approach for the diagnosis of various heart diseases which is a leading cause of death worldwide. By examining the ECG waveform it is possible to obtain a number of useful measurements. The most important of these is the “QT interval” measurement because an abnormal QT interval can be allied with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The QT interval is obtained by the detection of onset of the QRS complex and offset of the T wave. This work includes an endeavor for the efficient measurement of QT interval which mainly comprises of five stages like finding R peak using Pan Tompkins algorithm, detection of QRS onset, detection of T wave offset, measurement of QT interval and QT interval correction. The measurement of QT interval is implemented using LabWindows/CVI (C for Virtual Instrumentation). The performance evaluation of R peak detection is tested as per AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-2-47 standards using the databases that are available in Physionet like QT Database and MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The performance evaluation of QT interval measurement is tested using a MindrayuMEC 10 Multiparametric monitoring unit and the algorithm achieved an accuracy of 96.73% for QT interval measurement.
