A control system for rotary ventricular assist devices was developed to automatically regulate the pumping speed of the device to avoid ventricular suction. The control system comprises a suction detector and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The sucti

The demand for transplantable hearts exceeds the supply, and transplant candidates often wait long periods before a suitable donor organ becomes available. When pharmacological treatment fails to maintain adequate blood circulation, mechanical assist

This paper introduces a certainty-weighted detection system (CWDS) based on distributed decision makers that can classify a binary phenomenon as true, false, or uncertain. The CWDS is composed of two main blocks: the definite decision block (DDB), wh

Two plasma insulin estimators are derived and evaluated in this paper. The estimators use continuously monitored plasma glucose, and they are based on a simple mathematical model of glucose-insulin metabolism. The first estimator (Estimator 1) was ob

A new control strategy for a mock circulatory system (MCS) has been developed to mimic the Starling response of the natural heart. The control scheme is based on Suga's elastance model, which is implemented using nested elastance and pressure feedbac

This paper describes a signal detection algorithm based on Dempster-Shafer theory. The detector combines evidence provided by multiple waveform features and explicitly considers uncertainty in the detection decision. The detector classifies waveforms

A cardiovascular parameter estimator to identify the systemic vascular parameters was developed using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm. Measurements from a ventricular assist device (VAD) and arterial pressure were used in the estimator. The

This paper describes modifications to an algorithm presented by Marple-Horvat and Gilbey (1992) for identifying bursts of muscle activity in electromyographical (EMG) recordings. Our efforts to apply their algorithm to spontaneously moving infants an
