Exploration électrophysiologiqueL' exploration électrophysiologique (ou exploration électrophysiologique endocavitaire ou EEP) est un examen de cardiologie réalisé à l'aide de cathéters (ou sondes d'électrophysiologie de diagnostic) montés dans le cœur. Son objectif est de mettre en évidence des troubles de conduction, de localiser des voies de conduction accessoires, ou des foyers ectopiques en recueillant les signaux électriques cardiaques. Elle peut être complétée par des tests médicamenteux et peut être le prélude à une section (ou ablation) de certaines structures cardiaques intervenant dans la genèse des troubles du rythme.
Three-dimensional integrated circuitA three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) is a MOS (metal-oxide semiconductor) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by stacking as many as 16 or more ICs and interconnecting them vertically using, for instance, through-silicon vias (TSVs) or Cu-Cu connections, so that they behave as a single device to achieve performance improvements at reduced power and smaller footprint than conventional two dimensional processes. The 3D IC is one of several 3D integration schemes that exploit the z-direction to achieve electrical performance benefits in microelectronics and nanoelectronics.
Matrice de brochesUne matrice de broches, ou PGA (sigle du nom en anglais pin grid array), est un type d'interconnexion entre un composant monté en surface (CMS) et un circuit imprimé (PCB). C'est un connecteur carré en plastique (ou autrefois en céramique) présent sur les cartes mères et se présentant généralement sous la forme d'une grille dotée de nombreuses perforations disposées en carré ou en quinconce servant à accueillir les pattes d'un processeur. Le mot « matrice » est utilisé dans le sens mathématique, c'est-à-dire comme tableau ou grille.
MicroelectrodeA microelectrode is an electrode used in electrophysiology either for recording neural signals or for the electrical stimulation of nervous tissue (they were first developed by Ida Hyde in 1921). Pulled glass pipettes with tip diameters of 0.5 μm or less are usually filled with 3 molars potassium chloride solution as the electrical conductor. When the tip penetrates a cell membrane the lipids in the membrane seal onto the glass, providing an excellent electrical connection between the tip and the interior of the cell, which is apparent because the microelectrode becomes electrically negative compared to the extracellular solution.
Electrophysiology studyA cardiac electrophysiology study (EP test or EP study) is a minimally invasive procedure using catheters introduced through a vein or artery to record electrical activity from within the heart. This electrical activity is recorded when the heart is in a normal rhythm (sinus rhythm) to assess the conduction system of the heart and to look for additional electrical connections (accessory pathways), and during any abnormal heart rhythms that can be induced.
ToxicologieLa est une discipline scientifique qui étudie les effets néfastes d'une source sur des organismes ou des systèmes biologiques. Elle est à l'interface entre plusieurs disciplines , la toxicologie s'applique à un toxique ou une association comme un produit fini qui contient plusieurs constituants.
Texas InstrumentsTexas Instruments (TI) est une entreprise d'électronique américaine renommée dans le domaine des composants électroniques passifs et des semi-conducteurs fondée en 1941. Originellement nommée Geophysical Service Incorporated (GSI), la société prend son nom actuel en 1951. Son siège est à Dallas, Texas. TI compte plus de 30 000 employés et un catalogue de plus de 80 000 produits, notamment des microcontrôleurs, processeurs, capteurs, connectivité sans fil et calculatrices scientifiques.
MicrofluorimetryMicrofluorimetry is an adaption of fluorimetry for studying the biochemical and biophysical properties of cells by using microscopy to image cell components tagged with fluorescent molecules. It is a type of microphotometry that gives a quantitative measure of the qualitative nature of fluorescent measurement and therefore, allows for definitive results that would have been previously indiscernible to the naked eye. Microfluorimetry has uses for many different fields including cell biology, microbiology, immunology, cell cycle analysis and "flow karyotyping" of cells.
Hard disk recorderA hard disk recorder (HDR) is a system that uses a high-capacity hard disk to record digital audio or digital video. Hard disk recording systems represent an alternative to reel-to-reel audio tape recording and video tape recorders, and provide non-linear editing capabilities unavailable using tape recorders. Audio HDR systems, which can be standalone or computer-based, are typically combined with provisions for digital mixing and processing of the audio signal to produce a digital audio workstation (DAW).
Organ (music)In music, the organ is a keyboard instrument of one or more pipe divisions or other means for producing tones. The organs have usually two or three, up to five manuals, for playing with the hands, and pedalboard, with the feet. With the use of registers, several groups of pipes can be connected to one manual. Varieties of organs include: Pipe organs, which use air moving through pipes to produce sounds. The air is supplied by bellows, an electric motor or water (water organ).
