Design and Implementation of a Less Invasive Gastrostimulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastrointestinal stimulator implants have recently shown positive results in helping obese patients lose weight. However, to place the implant, the patient currently needs to undergo an invasive surgical procedure. Our team is aiming for a less invasive procedure to stimulate the stomach with a gastrostimulator. Attempts covered fully endoscopic implantation and, more recently, we have focussed on a single incision laparoscopic procedure. Whatever the chosen implantation solution, the electronic design of the implant system shares many challenges. This paper covers the work achieved to meet these.

Using a VIA-Less CRLH Transmission Line to Design Compact Wilkinson Power Dividers and Rat-Race Couplers
A method for design and implementation of a compact via-less Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Line (CRLH TL) is presented. By introducing a new circuit model, the CRLH transmission line behavior is studied versus the parameters variations to achieve the desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. Then a compact quarter wavelength CRLH transmission line with 70 Ω characte...

The digital image contains efficient and useful information which enables measurement and data acquisition. One of the methods that facilitate measuring and interpreting objects, using the image solely, is close-range photogrammetry. Among the various fields of science, whenever a precise measurement is required, this approach can be applied. One of these fields is Medical Sciences that due to ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of MOSFET Circuits and CNTFET, Ternary Multiplier in the Field of Galois
Due to the high density and the low consumption power in the digital integrated circuits, mostly technology of CMOS is used. During the past times, the Metal oxide silicon field effect transistors (MOSFET) had been used for the design and implementation of the digital integrated circuits because they are compact and also they have the less consumption power and delay to the other transistors. B...
