Jorge Reynolds Pombo is an electrical and bio- engineer born in Colombia (June 22, 1936, Bogota), self-styled as the inventor in 1958 of the first external artificial pacemaker with internal electrodes.〔Levitt, James N. ''Conservation in the Internet Age: Threats And Opportunities''. 1st edition. Washington DC: Island Press, 2002. 212. Print.〕 He is also a pioneer of whale electrocardiography studies. ==Studies and research== During his school years, he studied in Bogotá, Colombia. He went to Trinity College at Cambridge, England, where he graduated as an electronic engineer.〔 In 1999 he designed a pacemaker for the prevention of thrombosis in tourist class passengers, with the help of Jorge Ulloa A. Since 1991 there have been six underwater acoustic research cruises in the heart of whales, using the submarine Navy of Colombia as a platform for acoustic studies of whales, with the support of some Navy ships to facilitate investigative work. In his research he has found that the heart of cetaceans and humans are similar and so for more than thirty years has been studying these animals and then applying the results to humans. In August 2011 announced the launch of a pacemaker as small as one-third of a grain of rice that does not need a battery. Such pacemakers may be seen by cardiologists "from anywhere in the world", as said in the Inventors Hall IV and High Technology in Medellín. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jorge Reynolds Pombo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
