A physical model of human lung based on a mechanic/electronic system which is governed by an open loop control, was designed. Several parameters considered in this model such as respiratory frequency, inspiration/expiration ratio, tidal volume, respiratory flow and pulmonary compliance are modifiable. Hardware implementing of this system and a correspondent formalism of inspiration process, was made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
