India's EV mission and the talent crisis Fig.1 source DH news                 E lectric vehicles are the talk of the town today. As we all know that Electric vehicles are eco-friendly and pollution-free. They are not only environmentally advantageous but also when it comes to the performance of the vehicles, IC engines can’t match the electric motors. Electric motors are efficient, easier to control, and best suited for traction applications.                                                     Electric vehicles are not a discovery of this century, It was discovered and was popular more than 100 years ago. In 1832 the first crude electric vehicle was developed. Because of the invention of an electr...

 What is an ECG?                 ECG is an abbreviation for electrocardiography.  A heart's electrical activity can be known by the ECG test. A set of electrodes are used to capture the biopotentials and convert them into electrical signals. The ECG is basically a 2D plot of time v/s voltage.                                  The measured ECG signal that is the output voltage of the set of electrodes is in the range of 1mv to 5mv approx. This needs to be amplified using a high gain amplifier. The ECG signal also contains noises.  There are mainly 3 types of noise.  1. 50Hz noise due to the powerline. 2. High-frequency noise (Electromyogram -EMG noise). 3. Additive white gaussian noise. 4. Low-frequency noise (Baseline wandering). Noisy ECG signal with baseline wandering 1.
