This project focus on the evaluation of the memristive technology applied to a specific pattern recognition problem. In particular, we selected as pattern recognition problem the arrhythmia detection and we compared the memristive technology performance with the currently used one based on classical technology. The memristor is a newly discovered electronic component that can be

Climbing is a complex task, involving strength, balance and coordination. The performance of a climber is experience based and more insights in the mechanics of climbing could be gained by measuring the contact forces of the climber, for the centre of mass calculation in real time. A multiaxial load cell was developed to measure the
