Oscillatory properties of the human body

TL;DR: The frequency of body oscillations caused by application of single impulses to a number of supine subjects has been measured, as well as the elasticity coefficient of their underlying tissues, and the logarithmic decrement of extinction of oscillations.

Changes in Forcecardiography Heartbeat Morphology Induced by Cardio-Respiratory Interactions

TL;DR: In this paper , two respiratory-modulated parameters were considered, namely the left ventricular ejection time (LVET) and a morphological similarity index (MSi) between heartbeats.

Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik

TL;DR: Eine einfache und vor allem im Neugeborenen- und fruhen Sauglingsalter unentbehrliche Methode ist die Ermittlung der Herzfrequenz mit dem Stethoskop as mentioned in this paper.

ECG-Free Heartbeat Detection in Seismocardiography Signals via Template Matching

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a template matching based approach for ECG-free heartbeat detection in Seismocardiography (SCG) signals via normalized cross-correlation as heartbeats similarity measure.

A simple, calibrated, ultra-low frequency ballistocardiograph.

TL;DR: There is general agreement that the ultra-low frequency system is the most satisfactory and the physiological basis of ballistocardiography and its clinical application require further study.

Some technics for recording the ballistocardiogram directly from the body

TL;DR: The motion of the body recorded by a sphygmograph applied to the head, by a photocell partly shaded by a ruler across the shins, or by a coil in a magnetic field provides a satisfactory ballistocardiogram.

Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

Ue-frequency BCG ( natural frequency about 1 to 2 c/s ) represents the velocity of the center of gravity, provided that the damping is much more than critical.
