A MULTI-CHANNEL WIDE-BAND BIOTELEMETRY SYSTEM

我们建议开发和彻底测试体内， 商业上可行的基于时分多路复用的遥测系统 适用于动物生物电位的短程遥测 和成年老鼠一样小 之所以选择这种方法，是因为 第一阶段的工作涉及对几个项目的可行性评估， 基于市场需求和工程的替代方法 设计考虑。 我们将提高能力， 对第一阶段研制的发射机样机进行试验， 兼容的接收器，并增强我们现有的数据采集 提供完整遥测系统的系统能力 并获取高频生物电位。 这将是第一 允许多信道无线通信的商用系统 监测EEG，EMG和小单位电位 实验室动物 该系统将允许实验室参与 基础研究、毒理学测试和 药物化合物收集数据， 在使用需要以下内容的协议时， 更少的动物 该设备的商业市场包括 学术、制药和政府实验室， 除了独立的测试公司和化学公司 参与评估化学品的毒性影响。

We propose to develop and thoroughly test in-vivo, a commercially viable time-multiplex-based telemetry system suitable for short-range telemetry of biopotentials from animals as small as adult rats. This approach was chosen as a result of the Phase I effort involving a feasibility assessment of several alternate approaches based on market needs and engineering design considerations. We will enhance the capabilities and miniaturize the transmitter prototyped in Phase I, develop a compatible receiver, and enhance our existing data acquisition system capabilities to provide a complete system for telemetering and acquiring high-frequency biopotentials. This will be the first commercially available system to allow multi-channel wireless monitoring of EEG, EMG, and single unit potentials in small laboratory animals. The system will allow laboratories involved in basic research, toxicological testing, and the evaluation of pharmaceutical compounds to collect data which are more definitive and less artifactual while using protocols which require fewer animals. Commercial markets for this device include academic, pharmaceutical, and government laboratories in addition to independent testing firms and chemical companies involved in the assessment of the toxic effects of chemicals.
