The M4000 programmable automation controller (PAC) from Weidmuller aims to improve efficiency and flexibility in a range of ...

The power management unit, which includes a rectifier, battery charging and detection, and a regulator, is used for the power control of the internal circuits. The stimulation data and required clock ...

“The electrodes of the pacemaker serve not only as the electrical interface to the heart, but they also establish — through the naturally occurring biofluids — a galvanic cell that acts as a ...

To minimize these risks, the researchers sought to develop a dissolvable pacemaker, which they introduced in Nature Biotechnology in 2021. By varying the composition and thickness of materials in the ...

AVIM is a pacing algorithm incorporated into dual-chamber pacemakers to treat hypertension ... blood pressure after 6 months compared with control patients. Another pivotal trial run in ...

In such cases, surgeons now must often sew a wire onto the heart that’s attached to an external box that delivers a current to control the heart’s rhythm. When the pacemaker is no longer ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device ...

This light-based control system demonstrates the potential of its technology, extending its usefulness in neuromodulation therapy and soft-tissue interventions. The dissolvable pacemaker delivered ...

An ideal pacemaker should be small, biocompatible, and easily controllable. Easy delivery and multiplexing—that is, having multiple units to control heartbeat—are a bonus. Sign up to receive top ...

A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and ...

it emits light to activate the pacemaker. These short pulses— which penetrate through the patient’s skin, breastbone and muscles — control the pacing. ( Image Credit: John A. Rogers/Northwestern ...
