| Abstract | Defibrillators are standard tools for treating cardiac fibrillation; however, the mechanisms by which they terminate deadly cardiac arrhythmias are still not fully understood, and optimizations to lower energies are very desirable. Clinical defibrillators do not provide a precise control of shock timing, duration, and voltage (current), and operate with fixed waveforms. Therefore, they are not suitable for research, particularly when studying low-energy defibrillation methods that require an examination of arbitrary and strictly timed waveform shocks of varying strength and duration. We present a custom-made microcontroller voltage-to-current converter (V2CC) with an output isolated from the Earth ground, capable of delivering up to 1 A continuously and up to 5 A into a 40 Ω load for >500 ms in a pulsed regime. For currents lower than 5 A, the load resistance can be higher, so that the product current times resistance is guaranteed to be up to 200 V. Bandwidth is in excess of 1 kHz, timing accuracy, response time, and rise and fall times are better than 10 μs. In addition, multiple safety mechanisms are implemented to protect the device and the operator. In our feedback control experiments the device has been tested successfully on isolated rabbit hearts. The V2CC is primarily designed to be used in ex vivo cardiac experiments, but is suitable for a wide variety of settings that require a high-current source of arbitrary waveforms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
