Fertility Testing Kits

You're curious to test the sperm, but ashamed to come to the doctor or lab? In the future, his own sperm test at home is not an impossible thing. The experts in the Netherlands offers a solution by creating a male fertility testing kits that can practically be done at home.


Admittedly, these tools are useful. However, the question arises about the ethical use of the tool if without getting input from the professionals. The reason that the manual counting method is reliable as always accompanied by an expert or a doctor's consultation. It is feared that, without consultation, the tool can actually hurt.

Generally, men slightly embarrassed to check the sperm quality in addition to the procedure, the analysis also takes a long time in the lab. Ejaculate sperm analysis results should begin at the same hour. That is, unless the patient's fertility clinic next door to, he could not prepare the sperm sample from home and must live "produce" in the lab, too. After the samples submitted to the lab, took a long time to perform manual counting method.

"With our system, we can solve the problem," said Segerink.
According to him, his findings chip just need 12 seconds to get the results and the degree of possible error with the manual counting method. Tool that could be used in fertility center hospital, but also can be adapted so that there are variations of a cheap and practical that can be used at home.

On the other hand, Michael Dunn, medical ethics researcher at Oxford University, expressed concern. "There is a risk to the patient if they are not given the relevant information about the impact of positive results sterility," he said.

That is, if it turns out the patient's outcome was barren, she should be given appropriate information so that not one of perception.

Equipment such medical examiners were now needed. Another example is Hywel Morgan and his partners from the University of Southhampton who developed a more practical tool to test viral infection and anemia only from a speck of blood.

"This tool allows the distribution of health services to the public," Morgan said, "However, if you're diagnosing the disease, the results (test of the instrument) must be handled properly

Mikroprosesor

A mikroprosesor (abbreviated µP or uP) is a central processing unit (CPU) electronic computer made of mini-transistor circuits and other on a semiconductor integrated circuit

Before the development mikroprosesor, CPU electronic integrated circuit made of separate TTL; previously, individual transistor; before, from the vacuum cleaner tube. In fact, there have been design for the engine computer on the basis of simple mechanical parts such as gear, shaft, lever, Tinkertoy, etc

Evolution of mikroprosesor have been known to follow Moore's Law which is the increase in performance from year to year. Formulate this theory that the power will be doubled every 18 months, a process that occurred since the beginning of the true 1970s; a surprise for people who are related. From the beginning as a driver in the calculator, the development has the power to mikroprosesor dominance in the different types of computers, each system's largest Mainframe computer to hold the smallest mikroprosesor now use as a center

Integrated Circuit ( IC )

Integrated Circuit (IC) is an electronic component made of semi-conductor material, where the IC is a combination of several components such as resistor, capacitor, Dioda and transistors that have been integrated into a series of small-shaped chip, IC is used for the purpose of making some electronic equipment that easily become a bunch of equipment in the relatively small size.
Before the IC, almost all electronic devices made from single-unit components (individual) that are connected to each other using a wire or cable, so it appears to have a large and not practical.
The development of electronics technology continues to grow with the more complete type of IC which is provided for a series of Linear and Digital, so that the electronic equipment products year appear increasingly small and powerful

The weakness of the IC

The weakness of the IC, among others, is limited in the face of the excess flow of electricity, in which electric current can cause excessive heat in the components, so that small components such as IC akan arise easily damaged if excessive heat.
Similarly, the IC constraints in the face of great tension, where a large voltage can damage the layer of insulator between the components in the IC
Examples of damage, for example, a brief relationship occurred between the one with the other components in the IC, when this happens, the IC can be damaged and not useful.

The benefits of IC (Advantages)

IC has been used widely in different fields, one field of industry Dirgantara, where a series of electronic control will be small and concise so that it can reduce the weight of Satellite, the computer design can be very complex in permudah, so that many components can be reduced and the size of the motherboard it may be. Other examples such as IC used in the electronic calculator (a calculator), the mobile phone (mobile phone), which form relatively small.
In the era of advanced technology at this time, electronic equipment are required in order to have any size and light weight may be small, and it may be possible with the use of IC.
Besides the size and weight of a small IC and lightweight, IC also provides another advantage when compared with the circuit-circuit keonvensional use a lot of components, IC circuit with a relatively small source only consume less energy and does not generate heat so that it does not require excessive cooling (cooling system).
