How Do Engineers Think About PCLC?

Engineers Will First Want To Characterize The Relevant Signals.
Signals are the quantitative energies that propagate through a System.
The System is , the device that processes or controls signals.
Signals are either Energy signals (finite) or Power signals (infinite in duration).

• Power signals may be reconstructed from mathematically simple, periodic functions as components (orthogonal basis set).
• Sinusoids are the most widely used orthogonal basis set, e.g. Fourier methodology.
• Physiologic signals may be described as a sum of sinusoids characterized by amplitude, period and phase.
Engineers Always Manipulate Signals Quantitatively, More Often The Frequency Domain Than As Time
Functions.
15University of Maryland

• Real world signals are composed of information and noise.
• Finite signals may be approximated with an arbitrary degree of resolution.
• Bandlimiting a signal may reduce noise and is essential when using sampled data (digital processing) to avoid aliasing.
Engineer designers know:
16University of Maryland

Engineers Will Want Quantitative Specifications Before Designing A PCLC.
* Specifications may be defined in the time domain, but in general should be able to be transformed into the frequency domain.
• What are the maximum allowed transient and steady state errors?
• What is the maximum speed of response needed?

PCLC May Also Be Designed Around State Variables Meet Some Prespecified Optimum Of Performance.
• The internal state variables are the smallest possible subset of system variables that can represent the entire state of the system at any given time for all commands.
• This approach is equivalent to design by transfer function provided that all of the state variables are observable and controllable.
20University of Maryland

• Patient state variables may not be either observable or controllable.
• The patient will also change (non-stationary).
• An “optimum” system response may vary with the patient’s condition.
• Clinical signals are noisy.
• Patients may appear similar, but they are all different, so a compensator design may not be comprehensive.

How Can Clinicians and Engineers Think
About PCLP Together?
25University of Maryland
25
Clinicians must • Understand the clinical outcomes that are worthwhile from the
patient’s perspective • Validate surrogate markers against clinical outcomes • Identify clinical consequences of system failure
Engineers must• Describe how component failure will affect machine signal
processing • Develop mitigations against failure that do not rely on human
intervention so they do not introduce new risks.• Keep systems simple and robust to meet conditions of actual use.
