摘要:
An apparatus adapted to be implanted in a patient for electrically stimulating the heart and analyzing the heart's stimulated response, and a method of operating the apparatus, are disclosed. The apparatus operates to reduce the stimulation polarization artifact that normally accompanies such stimulation, allowing accurate measurement of stimulated cardiac potentials. The apparatus is useful in such devices as cardiac pacemakers, tachycardia reversion devices, and defibrillators. Optimizing features are provided to allow the apparatus to function properly in noisy environments and with suboptimal leads. In addition, provision is included to make the apparatus capable of performing self-diagnosis for determining when accurate sensing is not possible.
摘要:
Alpha-Olefins are polymerized in the presence of a catalyst which comprises (A) the reaction product of (1) a tetrahydrocarbyloxy zirconium compound such as tetraisopropoxy zirconium or a tetravalent hydrocarbyloxy zirconium halide such as triisopropoxy zirconium halide with (2) a chromium compound such as CrO.sub.3 ; (B) a solid catalyst support; (C) an organometallic activating agent or cocatalyst and (D) a trivalent or tetravelent titanium compound. The resultant polymers have a high molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution.
