Pulse Generator

A pulse generator is an electronic device that produces discrete, precisely timed signals, making it possible to control when and how strongly an experimental or therapeutic stimulus is delivered. It operates by using timing circuitry to shape pulses with defined frequency, duration, amplitude, and waveform, converting a trigger or programmed sequence into repeatable electrical output. In biology, pulse generators support electrophysiology, neural and muscle stimulation, cardiac pacing research, and experiments that synchronize stimuli with recordings or cellular events. By improving temporal control and reproducibility, they help researchers relate biological responses to stimulus intensity, timing, and pattern.

When the heart pumps blood out, arterial elastic fibers play a crucial role in sustaining a high-pressure gradient. They expand to accommodate the received blood and then recoil - a process known as the pulse that can be either manually palpated or electronically quantified. Despite a reduction in its effect with increased distance from the heart, elements of the pulse's systolic and diastolic components persist, observable even at the arteriole level. The pulse serves as a clinical indicator...

The pulse is one of the most fundamental physiological indicators of the body's cardiovascular health. It is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of the arterial walls in response to the pressure generated by the heart's pumping action. Pulse Rate and its Significance Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls between...

2012

An experimental method to examine the early plasma evolution induced by ultrashort laser pulses is described. Using this method, high quality images of early plasma are obtained with high temporal and spatial resolutions. A novel integrated atomistic model is used to simulate and explain the mechanisms of early plasma.
