Automatic Control Algorithm for Cardiac Output Regulation of the Total Artificial Heart (TAH)
An automatic control algorithm for the moving-actuator type total artificial heart (TAH) was developed based on motor current waveform analysis. Instead of using relatively complicated analysis of the instanta...

Orthotopic Implantation of the Tether-Free Moving-Actuator Type Total Artificial Heart in Sheep
An electromechanical total artificial heart (TAH) was developed. Its fitting trials were performed with computer simulations, and we orthotopically implanted it in 60- to 70-kg sheep in tether-free operations....

Implantable Controller with Fault Tolerance for the Moving-Actuator Total Artificial Heart (TAH): Use of a Dual Board
An implantable dual controller with fault tolerance for a total artificial heart (TAH) was developed and evaluated by in vivo studies. The TAH controller has problems normally caused by driving inductive loads...
