Applications of Transit Satellite Technology to Biomedical Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several technologies developed for the Transit Navigation System were later transferred to implantable medical devices. These devices include pacemakers, the Automatic Cardiac Implantable Defibrillator, and the Programmable Implantable Medication System for the treatment of diabetes. All of these applications employ Transit-derived telemetry and command systems for programming and data retrieval. These implantable devices have been used successfully in patients throughout the world for several decades. (
