Analogue signal processing unit and calibration methodology for a dual miniature cardiac pressure-volume sensor

本研究的目的是设计、制造和测试一套校准系统，该系统包括用于心脏监护的双压力/体积(PV)植入式传感器的前端信号处理接口。传感器本身被植入小鼠的心脏内，如果是较大的动物受试者，则植入老鼠、兔子或猪的心脏。这些基因工程对象被用于生物医学研究实验室，以帮助研究人员监测心脏病并开发治疗方法。这里提出的建议是我们正在进行的植入式遥测合作项目的补充部分，在该项目中，光伏传感器本身可以在商业上获得，并由我们的行业赞助商提供。

The objective of this research is to design, fabricate and test a calibration system that includes the front-end signal processing interface for a dual pressure/volume (PV) implantable sensor for cardiac monitoring. The sensor itself is implanted inside a mouse heart or, in the case of larger animal subjects, in the heart of a rat, a rabbit, or a pig. These genetically engineered subjects are used in biomedical research labs to help researchers to monitor heart diseases and develop cures. The proposal presented here is complementary part of our larger on-going collaborative project on implantable telemetry, where the PV sensor itself is commercially available and is provided by our industrial sponsor.
