Low oxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Whenever we breathe this low oxygen blood is turned back into oxygenated blood when carbon dioxide is forced

providing safe guided measures. A new revolutionary microwave life detection system which is used to locate human beings buried under earthquake rubble has been designed. This system operating at certain frequency can remotely detect the breathing and heartbeat signals of human beings buried under earthquake rubble. By proper processing of these signals‚ the status of the person under trap can be easily judged. The entire process takes place within a few seconds as the system is controlled
