Electromagnetic interference and pacemakers
Kulík, Jindřich ; Richter, Miloslav (referee) ; Havlíková, Marie (advisor)
This thesis deals with electromagnetic compatibility of implantable electro-medical devices using in cardiology. The main aim of this thesis is detection of the resistance of implantable pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) to the electromagnetic interference. In the first part of this thesis, a function of the heart, which is necessary for understanding of PM and ICD operation, is described. The function and construction of PM and ICD is detailed in the theoretical part as well. The next part is focused on the electromagnetic compatibility. The next part is description of the measurement method and the experimental arrangement used for practical experiments with electromagnetic resistance of PM and ICD.

Alternative sources of nuclear energy
Svoboda, Josef ; Zlámal, Ondřej (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
In places where it is not possible to use conventional production and distribution of energy, autonomous sources take over. Most of autonomous sources use solar energy, wind energy and other renewable resources. For applications such as special missions into outer space the usage of conventional sources is not possible. Except for powering special satellites, unconventional nuclear sources are also used in autonomous unmanned objects located in distanced areas with extreme natural conditions. It is also used in unusual propulsions of ground, water and air machine. These vehicles are for example pacemaker powered by radioisotope source, submarines, aircrafts and other vehicles supplied by nuclear reactor of unconventional conception. In this bachelor thesis there are globally summarized questions connected with unconventional sources of nuclear energy with detailed description of chosen parts. This work is concerned with finding more efficient machinery for conversion of heat energy supplied by radioisotope decay to electric energy.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy - Evaluation of biosignals and quality assessment of devices
Lipnická, Soňa ; Maryšková, Věra (referee) ; Bernard, Vladan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is essentially devoted to the therapy of cardiac activity, pacemakers, to their types, application, indications, contraindications, and technical processing of devices. In this bachelor's thesis, there is also included description of biosignals, that are measured in dependence on these devices. All measurements and observations are necessary for proper monitoring of the patient's health condition. Another objective of this bachelor's thesis is to collect clinical data, that are statistically evaluated and then the results are compared with physiological values. In conclusion, this bachelor's thesis proves the importance of the use of pacemakers in today’s health service.

Design of the On Demand Pacemaker controlled by Microcontroller
Jarošová, Veronika ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this diploma work is the suggestion and realization of a cardiostimulator of „On Demand“ type operated by microcontroller. The work is structured on four thematic parts. For the correct suggestion of the whole system, firstly is necessary to understand correctly the cell’s electrophysiology and heart’s anatomy, inclusive the cardiology arrhytmia, which are adherent to cardiostimulators. The cardiostimulator is inhibited by the R-wave and is adaptive on a pulse rate of a source signal. The whole system is supplied by batteries and this supplying is taken into consideration. The network’s functionality is realized on the ECG simulator. There are suggested the suitable enhancements in discussion.

EMD instruments and electromagnetic mmunity
Mikula, Dalibor ; Buchta,, zdeněk (referee) ; Havlíková, Marie (advisor)
The work deals with implantable devices and possibilities of interference of elektromagnetic field. At first, the electromagnetic compatibility is discussed. Basic terms are explained, followed by insisting on resources of possible distrurbing of implantable devices and standards dealing with this issue. Furthermore, short chapter about devices affecting function of implantable devices is introduced. It means devices which patients with implantable devices may meet in common life, as well as devices used in common life, also devices used jn medical environment. In the next part, measuring process of electromamagnetic effect in working compartment of FN Brno magnetotheraphy and elektrotheraphy is devised. There is a concept of measuring card thanks to which impulses of implantable devices are measured. Finally, a description of measuring on implantable devices in FN Brno. MIKULA, D. EMD instruments and electromagnetic immunity. Brno, 2009. 74 s. Master’s thesis in Brno University of technology on faculty of elektrical engeenerig and communication. Supervisor Ing. Marie Havlíková , Ph.D.

Pacemakers and electromagnetic interference
Lojková, Lea ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Havlíková, Marie (advisor)
This work is focused on cardiac pacemakers and sources of electronic interference. The project partly follows another thesis made in the same field of interest (Ing. Kulík, Dept. of Control, Measurement and Instrumentation) and uses similar methodics of measurement. In the theoretical part of the work, the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging are briefly explained and most common methods used in MRI are described, as well as the definition of a cardiac pacemaker, main events in pacemaker history and development. Cardiac pacemaker as a system is described in more detail, including construction, control, most common sensors and the ways of use. Electromagnetic interference of cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators is processed via a complete review since the oldest scientific paper from December 1991 till May 2009. In the second part, measuring of magnetic field is described, as well as the possibilities of monitoring of its effects on cardiac pacemakers. In fact, there are two possible ways of measuring. off-line exposition of the sample to the magnetic field followed by data acquisition via pacemaker programmer or the continuous on-line monitoring of the pacemaker activity by the means of measuring PC card. While the first method is reliable in cases where the is no sign of malfunction and makes the experiments with a dynamic exposition of sample possible, in some cases it detects a virtual malfunction also in cases where in reality the devices works perfectly. The second method enables a reliable continuous monitoring of pacemaker activity during the whole experiment and its only problem is a higher level of signal noise caused by the sample movement.

External pacemaker
Lank, Petr ; Rampl, Ivan (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the problem of heart stimulation by using external pacemaker. Such external pacemaker is used for a short – time stimulation of patient to overcome the time before the implantation of such apparatus. The master´s thesis informs about the basic function of heart and possible heart disorders which are treated by pacemaker. Great deal of master´s thesis is devoted to the design of external pacemaker wiring. This section describes the possibilities of controlling the pacemaker, circuits for detection R-R interval, a design of output circuit eith regard to required of stimulation and pacemaker feeding. The program Pspice was used to check the functional appropriateness of designed circuits and it was successively simulated in a non - soldering field.

Patient data trasfer over GSM
Pavliš, Jaroslav ; Dlouhý, Jiří (referee) ; Švrček, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis is concerned with possibilities of patient data transfer from a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to physician over GSM. Theoretical part describes options of data transfer in GSM networks, data appropriate for sending and a structure of message is proposed. A device, that is able to send medical data in a form of SMS messages is designed and constructed. The device uses a Freescale MC68HC908GP32 microcontroller, character display with a Hitachi HD44780 controller and a cell phone Sony CMD-J70. The program for microcontroller is written in assembler for HC08. For tabular view of received messages, an application software for PC was created.
