This article presents the design of the inductive links of remotely powered wireless cortical implants for minimum interference from the power link to the data link. This interference is minimized by changing the orientation of the inductors. Different ori ...

The recent increase in the need for energy efficient wireless nodes have led to the study of various low power consumption receiver and transmitter architectures. The super-regenerative receiver architecture is one of the possible candidates for such a low ...

Wearable and implantable medical devices are of great importance in diagnosis and treatment as they provide continuous monitoring and data collection. Considering the comfort of the patient and ease-of-operation, these devices require wireless data transmi ...

This study presents a wireless energy and data transfer system for neural implants with an emphasis on epilepsy monitoring. A wireless uplink data transmission system is built upon a remote powering system based on magnetic coupling which has been implemen ...

Full-duplex communication is realized by using ASK modulation for downlink (the channel from controller to the implant) and by using FSK modulation for uplink (from implant to the controller). The ASK modulation is done at the remote powering frequency and ...

This paper presents a wireless power conversion system designed for biomedical implants, with integrated automatic resonance tuning. The automatic tuning mechanism improves power transfer efficiency (PTE) by finely tuning the resonant frequency of the powe ...

This chapter explores dual-band telemetry systems and presents a dual-band inductive link operating at 6.78 and 13.56 MHz within the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency bands. The primary goal is to enable wireless power and data transmission for multisite biomedical implants. To minimize magnetic interference between coils and optimize the area, a single-coil transmitter configuration is adopted in the presented design. Additionally, this chapter examines the benefits of using various plana

In this paper, we present a calibration technique for controlling the magnetic field emitted by an antenna without measuring that magnetic field or the current through the antenna. Using a predictive algorithm and without adding hardware to perform test me ...

A fully parameterized three-dimensional model with specific dimensions has been developed in ANSYS for an insulin injection pen used by diabetic persons. The insulin injection pen has a smart pen cap which hosts four electrodes used for the smart pen cap e ...

Introduction: In this study the effect of subthalamic nucleus neep brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) on the gait parameters of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) was examined using an ambulatory gait analysis system based on miniature gyroscopes. The aim was twofold: to characterize gait with and without stimulation (ON and OFF states) and to understand how STN-DBS improves motor performance in PD patients.Methods: Ten PD patients, 20±3 months after implantation of bilateral STN-DBS were asked to walk 20m.
