    摘要: The invention relates to an electrical linear drive, in particular for a pump system of an artificial heart, with a movable part and a stationary part, wherein the stationary part is formed by a permanent magnet arrangement and the movable part is formed by a coil arrangement, or vice versa, and wherein the coil arrangement and the permanent magnet arrangement can be moved to and fro relative to each other in an axial direction by means of current passed through the coil arrangement, wherein the coil arrangement (1) is arranged in an axially extending air gap (5) of the permanent magnet arrangement (2) whose magnetic material is magnetized in the axial direction and which, at least at its two axial ends, has inner and outer pole shoes (6a, 6b) which lie radially opposite each other and are spaced apart by the air gap (5), as a result of which the magnetic field in the air gap (5) is concentrated in the radial direction in the area of the mutually facing pole shoes (6a, 6b), as a result of which at least one magnetic circuit is formed in which the magnetic field lines extend radially through the air gap (5) from the inside outwards and also through said air gap (5) from the outside inwards. The invention further relates to an electrical linear drive of this kind in which the permanent magnet arrangement (2) is designed as a stack of frame-shaped, in particular ring-shaped magnets (2a, 2b, 2c), which are magnetized alternately radially and axially in the axial direction, such that the magnetic field is strengthened on one side of the frame or in particular ring, in particular on the radially outer side, and is weakened on the other side of the frame or in particular ring, in particular on the radially inward side, and the coil arrangement (1) is arranged coaxially with respect to the permanent magnet arrangement (2) on the side with the strengthened magnetic field.

    摘要: A cardiac function variation evaluation apparatus includes: a continuous flow type auxiliary artificial heart 20 connected to a ventricle (10A); a pressure sensor 30 for detecting ventricle (10A) internal pressure; and means (a personal computer 40) for evaluating contractile variation of the ventricle, to which the auxiliary artificial heart 20 is connected, based on internal area APMp of a closed-loop of a relationship between the ventricle internal pressure detected by the pressure sensor 30 and a consumption power of the auxiliary artificial heart 20. Thus, the contractile variation of the ventricle, to which an auxiliary artificial heart is connected, can be continuously evaluated not by use of an ultrasonic echo apparatus or a conductance catheter but by use of a non-invasive method.

    摘要: An improved trileaflet mechanical heart valve 100 can include an improved leaflet 110. The valve 100 and leaflet 110 provide improved flow characteristics, minimize blood clotting behind the leaflets, and provide more natural opening and closing times. The valve can include a valve housing 105 which contains pivot/hinge mechanism (130, 200, and 300) for allowing rotation of and retention of the leaflets 110. The valve housing 105 can also include windows or openings 125 which allows for complete washing of the pivot/hinge mechanism (130, 200, and 300) as well as the leaflets 110. The novel leaflets 110 are airfoil-like having a complex S-shaped curvature on their outer surface. This novel geometry, when combined with the location of the leaflet's pivot axis, causes a tendency for the leaflets 110 to rotate towards the closed position. Thus, the leaflets 110 begin to close much earlier than a conventional leaflet and are substantially closed before the flow reverses, similar to the function of a natural valve.
