Upgrading Biomedical Engineering Laboratory

该项目通过将最先进的生理信号调理器连接到现有的pc控制工作站，升级和改进了赖特州立大学生物医学工程实验室使用的设备。目前专用的换能器和配套的信号调节器都是从另一个学术部门借来的。与三门高级必修课程相结合的十多项实验将直接受益于该设备。这些实验室实验包括直接测量来自活体的生物信号（如心电图信号）或来自模拟生物系统的转导信号（如人工肾脏）。该设备的购置大大提高了本科生物医学实验室的质量。该奖金将由主要研究者所在机构提供同等数额的奖金。

This project upgrades and improves the equipment used in the biomedical engineering laboratory at Wright State University by interfacing state-of-the-art physiological signal conditioners into existing PC-controlled workstations. Currently the special transducers and matched signal conditioners are borrowed from another academic department. More than ten laboratory experiments which are offered in conjunction with three required senior courses, will be directly benefited with this equipment. These laboratory experiments involve the measurements of either biological signals directly from living subjects (e.g. ECG signal) or transduced signals from simulated biological systems (e.g. an artificial kidney). The acquisition of this equipment greatly improves the quality of the undergraduate biomedical laboratory. This award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
