Abstract

A Device to detect for the bladder which is full with urine is designed. The device can measure bladder pressure. The pressure signals are processed. When the pressure exceeds 40cm water column, Pressure signal exceeds a fixed voltage. At the same time, Oscillator sends a signal and the signal transmits to the body surface. The receiver accepts the oscillating signal. Then, the alarm alerts. Liquid pressure sensor is used to measure bladder pressure. Signal transmits through a pig bladder to pigskin to verify the feasibility of the program.
