Abstract: The development of an optimal output feedback controller for the Penn State electric ventricular assist device (EVAD) is addressed. The controller is designed to minimize the electric energy ...

Abstract: Inlet and outlet pressures and flows were obtained over a wide range of operating conditions for a pneumatically driven sac-type artificial ventricle connected to a mechanical mock circulatory ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the development of an output feedback controller for the Penn State Electric Ventricular Assist Device (EVAD). The control law is designed to minimize the electric power ...

Abstract: The fluid dynamic behavior of a Newtonian water/glycerol solution, a non-Newtonian polymer (separan) solution, and bovine blood were compared in the Penn State Electrical Ventricular Assist Device ...

Abstract: An adaptive technique for the estimation of the time history of aortic pressure (from applied voltage and position feedback) has been designed, implemented, and bench tested using the Penn State ...

Abstract: Laser Doppler Anemometry measurements of mean (ensemble average) velocities and turbulent (Reynolds) stresses at 140 locations within the left ventricle of the Penn State 70 cc electric artificial ...

Abstract: Wall shear rates at eleven sites within the Penn State Electric Ventricular Assist Device (EVAD) were determined with the pump operating under conditions of 30 and 50 percent systolic duration ...

Abstract: In this study we have employed a single channel, pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimeter to measure instantaneous velocity distributions within the pumping chamber of a ventricular assist device. ...
