This work presents the design of a mechanical vasoconstriction mechanism with application for cerebral autoregulation. The relationship between the applied voltage of a DC motor and the tension within a pressurized vessel wall was utilized for constricting an arteriole segment within an intracranial vascular model. Using current proportional to the string tension, options for closed loop feedback...
High frequency alternating current waveforms have been shown to produce a rapidly reversible nerve block in animal models, but the parameters and mechanism of this block are not well understood. A frog sciatic nerve/gastrocnemius muscle preparation was used to examine the parameters for nerve conduction block in vivo. A complete and reversible nerve block was achieved in all preparations. The results...
Based on our previously developed electrical heart model, an electromechanical biventricular model, which couples the electrical property and mechanical property of the heart, was constructed and the right ventricular wall motion and deformation was simulated using this model. The model was developed on the basis of composite material theory and finite element method. The excitation propagation was...
The author assesses the validity of three models dealing with human arm trajectory control by evaluating their success in accounting for the kinematic characteristics of planar horizontal unconstrained point-to-point arm trajectories. These models are concerned with two significant issues. Namely, in what coordinate frame(s) are movements internally represented by the brain and, how intention is translated...
Techniques have been developed recently which yield nonparametric estimates of the dynamic linear and static nonlinear components of two simple cascade configurations: the Wiener system, consisting of a dynamic linear element followed by a static nonlinearity, and the Hammerstein system, made up of a static nonlinearity followed by a dynamic linear element. A description is given of the results obtained...
