Real-Time Output Feedback Neurolinearization

 An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

Time, Staff, Problems and Costs

To assess time, staff, problems and costs involved in clinical electrophysiologic studies for documented or suspected tachycardia, 33 consecutive cases were analyzed prospectively. At least seven staff members were used for each study. Insertion of catheters required 24-105 minutes (mean 63 ± 20 minutes). Programmed stimulation required 12-210 minutes (mean 87 ± 38 minutes). Total fluoroscopy t...
