It's a fully implantable artificial heart, and it was introduced about seven or eight years ago now.
它是一个完全植入式人工心脏,它是在七八年前发明
-
Problems like the artificial heart are still unsolved, there's still room for innovation, still room to learn from what hasn't worked before, to learn from science, and to design something better.
人工心脏技术中存在的问题还没有解决,还有创新发展的空间,仍有从未涉足的领域来研究,通过对科学原理的学以致用,去设计出更好的产品
-
I think engineers have a role to play in that, but it's not sort of classical Biomedical Engineering in the way that developing an artificial heart is where you can see that.
我认为工程师们,在其中扮演了重要角色,但它又不像传统生物医学工程那样,去研究人造心脏之类,实实在在的东西

Lastly, up here, is a picture of a much smaller device, this is actually an artificial heart valve that is made of plastics and metal and can replace the valve inside your heart.
最后,在上面这里,这张图片是一个相对较小的装置,这实际上是一个人工心脏瓣膜,由塑料和金属制成,可以取代人的心脏瓣膜

Development of an artificial heart, again another example of Biomedical Engineering, is something that people have been trying to accomplish for decades now, and this is the closest that we've come and there are many advantages of this particular artificial heart.
人造心脏技术的发展,是生物医学工程的另一个例子,科学家们,试图在这二十年中去改进它,而这是最接近成功的一个实例,这枚人造心脏有很多优点
-
And it's important innovation in several different ways and we're going to talk about this whole science of building artificial organs, devices that are made out of totally synthetic components to replace the function of your natural organs, and the artificial heart is a good example of that.
在很多方向上也做出了重要的创新,我们会讲到,制造人造器官的技术原理,这些装置完全用合成材料制成,能够取代人体器官的功能,人造心脏就是一个很好的范例
-
Imagine how much power it takes to drive an artificial heart, so you've got to have a battery or some way of generating power continuously to operate that and that makes it difficult to think about implantable and so that's a really good example of Biomedical Engineering.
驱动人工心脏所需要的能量是难以想像的,所以需要电池或者是某种持续发电装置,来给人工心脏提供能量,这就增加了人工心脏的植入难度,这是很好的生物医学工程的例子
