Continuous 12-lead electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring can identify transient myocardial ischemia, even when asymptomatic, among patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this article we describe our method for initiating patient monitoring using a Holter device, downloading the ECG data for off-line analysis, and how to utilize the ECG software to identify transient ischemia.

Source: Yong P. Chen, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, College of Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN Electric potential, also known as "voltage", measures the electric potential energy per unit charge. Electric field is a scalar quantity and is fundamental to many electrical effects. Like potential energy, what is physically meaningful is the difference in the electric potential. For example, the spatial variation in the electric potential is related to the electric...

Robert M. Rioux & Suprita Jharimune, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Among the many hazards present in the laboratory, electrical hazards are one of the most common we must be cognizant of since most of the laboratory equipment we use requires electricity for operation. Improper handling or operation of electrical devices might lead to electric shock with the potential risk of injury or even death. Electric sparks can lead to fire or explosion (since many flammable...

Source: Yong P. Chen, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, College of Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN An electric field is generated by a charged object (referred to as the source charge) in the space around it, and represents the ability to exert electric force on another charged object (referred to as the test charge). Represented by a vector at any given point in the space, the electric field is the electrical force per unit test charge placed at that point (the force...

Changing the Direction and Orientation of Electric Field During Electric Pulses Application Improves Plasmid Gene Transfer in vitro

Gene transfection by electroporation is improved approximately two times when orientation of electric field is changed during pulse application, while cell viability is not affected. The increase in gene transfection is caused by the increase of the membrane area which is made competent for DNA entry into the cell.
FAQs
The response is governed by how capacitors and inductors exchange stored energy with the surrounding circuit. A capacitor’s voltage and an inductor’s current evolve through charging or discharging, while resistance controls how strongly that energy is dissipated. Depending on the balance of resistance, capacitance, and inductance, the resulting waveform can decay exponentially or exhibit oscillatory behavior.
Resistance does more than limit current: it influences the duration and severity of the temporary response by dissipating energy. Capacitance and inductance set the storage behavior that produces charging, discharging, or oscillation. This interaction explains why engineers evaluate these circuit properties together rather than treating a transient as a characteristic of only one component.
The waveform reflects how circuit resistance interacts with capacitance and inductance. Energy storage in capacitors and inductors can produce charging or discharging behavior, while their combined action can produce oscillation; resistance influences how much of that stored energy is dissipated. Recognizing the waveform helps engineers choose suitable damping or filtering strategies for the circuit.
An analysis begins by specifying the event that initiates the response, such as switching, a fault, or a load change. Engineers then represent the circuit’s resistance, capacitance, and inductance and determine how voltages and currents evolve with time. Reviewing the resulting temporary behavior reveals charging, discharging, oscillation, or potentially excessive stress requiring design attention.
Electrical transient analysis is especially useful during startup and switching, when temporary conditions may differ substantially from normal operation. It helps predict switching surges and assess signal integrity in electronic circuits, while also indicating whether protection is needed. These results connect time-dependent circuit behavior to practical choices about safer component operation and system performance.
In power and electronic circuits, the results guide damping, filtering, and control strategies. These approaches can address unwanted temporary behavior, limit disturbances, or support system stability. The analysis also helps identify excessive stress on components before a design is implemented, making it relevant to both circuit protection and performance evaluation.
