Betavoltaic device. A betavoltaic device (betavoltaic cell or betavoltaic battery) is a type of nuclear battery which generates electric current from beta particles (electrons) emitted from a radioactive source, using semiconductor junctions. A common source used is the hydrogen isotope tritium. Unlike most nuclear power sources which use ...

A Faradic Battery (or Faradic Stimulator, or Galvanic Battery) was a device used in 19th Century and early 20th Century medicine. The name of the device is associated both with Michael Faraday and Luigi Galvani. It was designed to create a mild electric shock that was thought to be therapeutic, to assist with ailments around nerve sensitivity ...
A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack) by facilitating the safe usage and a long life of the battery in practical scenarios while monitoring and estimating its various states (such as SoH, and SoC), [1] calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating or balancing it.

In medical settings, the term leads is also sometimes used to refer to the wires or to the electrodes themselves, although this is technically incorrect. [35] The term leads should be reserved for the electrocardiographic measurements or for their graphical representations. The 10 electrodes in a 12-lead ECG are listed below. [36]
The term was purportedly coined in the 1980s ... EdD, assistant professor of medical sciences at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. ... so it goes into “battery ...
The design of medical devices constitutes a major segment of the field of biomedical engineering. The global medical device market was estimated to be between $220 and US$250 billion in 2013. [4] The United States controls ≈40% of the global market followed by Europe (25%), Japan (15%), and the rest of the world (20%).
