Electronic cardiac stimulators using blocking oscillators are described. The units operate (1) through wires from an external unit, (2) internally with external power supply and (3) as a completely sell-contained implanted unit which can be controlled from outside the body by inductive pick-up.

Inspec keywords: transistor circuits; electronic equipment; oscillators; pulse generators; instrumentation

Subjects: Project and production engineering; Oscillators
