New York, Sep 19 (Ians) A team of US researchers has found that smartphones are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation levels down to 70 per cent — the lowest value a pulse oximeters should be able to measure.
The proof-of-principle research by University of Washington (Uw) and University of California San Diego researchers involved participants placing their finger over the camera and flash of a smartphone, which uses a deep-learning algorithm to decipher the blood oxygen levels.
When the team delivered a controlled mixture of nitrogen and oxygen to six subjects to artificially bring their blood oxygen levels down, the smartphone correctly predicted whether the subject had low blood oxygen levels 80 per cent of the time.
“Other smartphone apps that do this were developed by asking people to hold their breath. But people get very uncomfortable and have to breathe after a minute or so, and that’s before their blood-oxygen levels...

He delivers it to the Prince of Xiangyang, who immediately appreciates his abilities in martial arts and hires him in his guard. Furthermore, he places the statue in the House of Traps, a self-explanatory building where his most valuable assets are being stored. The Prince is soon revealed as the head of a group of individuals that want to revolt against the emperor.

A turn towards horror
During the 80’s, Shaw Brothers have realized that they could not operate just by releasing scores of kung fu films, and decided to turn towards the horror genre. One of their most successful productions was “Hex”, which even spawned a couple of sequels.
A terrible man leads to a terrible act
Chan Sau-ying is a woman facing terrible issues. She suffers from consumption and Chun-yu, her husband is a despicable man who gambles, drinks and even beats his wife, at least when he is not torturing the servants, who eventually leave the house. Lady Chan is desperate for something that will change her life, and her wish comes true when a young girl named Yi-wah asks to work in the house.
After a series of violent episodes with her husband, the two of them manage to drown him into a large jar and drop his body into a pond.
