Topics for BMES President's meeting

By Otto H Schmitt

•  The Pavlov Gradualness principle

•  The Vannever Bush and Inventors' Hall of Fame principle of goal oriented Matrix Inversion, Invention and Innovation

•  The Umbrella organization strategy to “take on” a multiply represented field by one who knows the answers, e.g. INFAME (International Federation of Medical Electronics), the Amirov approach via the prestige of the Russian National Academy of Science and its great change in personality of this year, ICE, even some tinges of this in our new AIMBE. The answer is to be found in the design I found in the Japanese Robotics management strategy of “family” mutual cooperation and support.

•  The attempt at this in Banff, Ontario in flowery presentation “Where will we be in ‘93?”, a copy of which I have for your constructive criticism - would take 10 minutes to read.

•  The Lauffman Award presentation a year ago with its 12 specific topics and the spirit of patient participation -personalized computer-aided home health care. The legitimatising of “alternative” mind-spirit involved therapy, computerized song of the heart, the whole life health and medicine card and ten others.

•  When do we dare introduce the task of algorithmic mathematical formalization of theory extending mind, brain, spirit, soul into compatible and instrumented instrumentation?

•  This leads inevitably and perhaps dangerously soon to the surgically Inplantable, perhaps metabolically fueled I-O utility points for humans.

•  Much more immediately rewarding is the Biomimetic Science and Technology concept that I have even got legitimatised in the National Academy whereby we really look for and expect to find excitingly new and highly applicable mathematics, computer concepts and medical concepts discoverable by formally investi­gating life. A few tolerant greats in science allowed me to do this as a Ph.D. project and at least half a dozen important technical concepts resulted. Schmitt Trigger, differential operational amplifier, emitter follower, heat sink, 3 quadrature compaction algorithmic integrator, differentiator, 3D oscillography and virtual reality.

•  Taxonomy of Bioscience and Technology Biological Science and Technology? The several - at least five - Biomedical Engineering Society What is APS? Physics or Physiology?
