There's still time to donate to our appeal.
Kelly Davies and Jon Houlston from Recycle IT 4U which is supporting Shropshire Star toy appeal
The appeal, which has seen the distribution of more than 5,000 Christmas gifts since it was launched in 2015, aims to bring a little Christmas joy to youngsters who are either living with illness or disability or who care for loved ones. Customer account manager at Recycle IT 4U, Kelly Davies, said the company was delighted to be on board with the appeal.Kelly said that in previous years she and her children had donated toys, but this year the company wanted to do more.
"Our staff also wanted to become involved. It is a fantastic cause, and we're delighted to be able to help."

Contactless Blood Pressure Estimation System Using a Computer Vision SystemBlood pressure (BP) is one of the most common vital signs related to cardiovascular diseases. BP is traditionally measured by mercury, aneroid, or digital sphygmomanometers; however, these approaches are restrictive, inconvenient, and need a pressure cuff to be attached directly to the patient. Therefore, it is clinically important to develop an innovative system that can accurately measure BP without the need for any direct physical contact with the people. This work aims to create a new computer vision system that remotely measures BP using a digital camera without a pressure cuff. The proposed BP system extracts the optical properties of photoplethysmographic signals in two regions in the forehead captured by a digital camera and calculates BP based on specific formulas. The experiments were performed on 25 human participants with different skin tones and repeated at different times under ambient light conditions. Compared to the systolic/diastolic BP readings obtained from a commercial digital sphygmomanometer, the proposed BP system achieves an accuracy of 94.6% with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 9.2 mmHg for systolic BP readings and an accuracy of 95.4% with an RMSE of 7.6 mmHg for diastolic BP readings. Thus, the proposed BP system has the potential of being a promising tool in the upcoming generation of BP monitoring systems.
