    An Internet-based conductivity measurement system with self-temperature compensation is presented in the paper. In order to get a simple and portable measurement system, a readout circuit in analog part is designed using only two operational amplifiers (opamps) connected with basic electronic components and energized using single supply voltage. An excitation voltage generated by the AD9833 module is applied to a conductivity sensor. The measured output DC voltages are found to be directly proportional to the conductivity of the solution. The NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi dev board is used to determine the conductivity and measure the temperature whose effect on the conductivity is compensated. The measured results are sent to display on a smartphone by Blynk app. The conductivity measured by the proposed system is in good agreement with that due to the standard EC meter. A maximum error of measuring the conductivity at different temperatures of solution is 4.79% of full scale.

    This paper presents a simple method based on commercially available current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs) to realize the readout circuit for measuring the solution conductivity including the parasitic resistance in the electrode sensor. The enhanced readout circuit for conductivity measurement in electrolyte solution, compared with the conventional readout circuit using the op-amp inverting amplifier, offers a technique for the parasitic resistance compensation to improve the linearity of the measurement results. The proposed readout circuit provides the digital output which is directly proportional to the conductivity of electrolyte solution. The experimental verification and the measured results of the method are included in this paper.

    During radio-frequency (RF) cardiac catheter ablation, there is little information to estimate the contact between the catheter tip electrode and endocardium because only the metal electrode shows up under fluoroscopy. We present a method that utilizes the electrical impedance between the catheter electrode and the dispersive electrode to predict the catheter tip electrode insertion depth into the endocardium. Since the resistivity of blood differs from the resistivity of the endocardium, the impedance increases as the catheter tip lodges deeper in the endocardium. In vitro measurements yielded the impedance-depth relations at 1, 10, 100, and 500 kHz. We predict the depth by spline curve interpolation using the obtained calibration curve. This impedance method gives reasonably accurate predicted depth. We also evaluated alternative methods, such as impedance difference and impedance ratio.
