Keynote Talk: Building a Better Pump for Heart Failure Patients

[1] F. Hansen
Abbott Laboratories, Pleasanton, CA, USA [1]

Abbott’s Mechanical Circulatory Support group build implants that help people suffering from heart failure, a deadly and increasingly common disease. We combine computational fluid dynamics and particle tracing simulations to optimize the designs of implantable blood pumps that replace ... Read More

Mobile, Fast and Cost-Effective Diagnostic System for Clinical Analyses – Simulation of Bead Movement in Magnetic Field

S. Reitz
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Division Engineering of Adaptive Systems EAS, Dresden, Germany

In a diagnostic system small magnetic beads of about 1µm diameter will be moved along a path in a viscose medium due to magnetic field actuators. Specific ligands on the beads will bound to specific samples. If bound, the diameter and mass of the beads rise and the bead movement is ... Read More

Design of Radio-Frequency Ablation Catheter

R. Kapuganti,
HCL Technologies, Chennai, India

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a treatment modality that kills unwanted tissue by heat. RF ablation is now the treatment of choice for certain types of cardiac arrhythmia. During RF ablation, an electrode is inserted into, or steered intravascularly to the target tissue region under ... Read More

Simulation as Various Operating Condition for High Temperature Magnesium Hydride Reactors

D.Y. Shin, T.E. Kim, J.Y. Lee
Altsoft Inc., Seoul, South Korea

Magnesium hydride (MgH2) has been one of the most promising hydrogen storage methods that can be applied to commercial hydrogen energy systems due to magnesium’s safety, low cost, and excellent storage capacity for hydrogen, compared to other reversible metal hydrides. But hydrogen ... Read More

Optimization for Improving Efficiency on Membrane Reactor for WGS Reaction

D.Y. Shin, T.E. Kim, J.Y. Lee
Altsoft Inc., Seoul, South Korea

Hydrogen production by water gas shift reaction(WGSR) in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant is the most popular process in the world. Traditional hydrogen production process by WGSR is consist of two processes due to its’ considerable exothermic equilibrium reaction ; ... Read More
