Answer 1

As a biomedical engineer, the scientist has been asked to design several medical devices which are to be used in the hospital. The medical devices which sje will be designing are medical imaging devices such as CT scan and X ray. Apart from that, she will also be designing a dialyzer which works as an artificial kidney and lastly she is going to design a ventilator which performs the function of lungs by allowing passage of air and making breathing possible. Each of these devices have different motors and drivers. The medical imaging devices use brushless DC drivers. The dialysis machine(dialyzer) uses the brushed DC drivers. The ventilator uses the BLDC motor which is also provided with the controller, encoder and motors. The normal DC drivers does not carry out the function of the modern day ventilators.
