Improvement on observer-based Hinfinity control for T-S fuzzy systems

An integral blood pressure sensor for a cardiac prosthesis of the type having a fluid chamber and a blood chamber separated by a flexible diaphragm which is actuated by a drive fluid pulsatingly supplied to the fluid chamber for pumping blood from the blood chamber. The blood pressure sensor includes at least one transducer integral with a wall of the blood chamber and in pressure-sensing relation to the interior of the chamber. The invention also includes a method of manufacturing a cardiac prosthesis having an integral blood pressure sensor.
