Energy Delivery Method And Apparatus Using Volume Conduction For Medical Applications
US Patent:
2007000, Jan 11, 2007
Filed:
Mar 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/389791
Inventors:

International Classification:
H05B 6/62
US Classification:
219772000
Abstract:
The present invention may be utilized in medical applications requiring the external delivery of electrical energy from outside the human body to a target site within the human body, such as electrical stimulation of muscles and power delivery to implanted devices. The present invention uses the volume conduction property of human tissue as a natural medium for energy delivery. A novel volume conduction antenna consists of an array of electrodes that are structured and arranged to receive voltage and work collaboratively to transmit electrical energy to the target site. A unique voltage is applied to each electrode to direct the electrical energy to the target site. The desired energy density near the target site is optimized, while the undesired energy density near the site of the antenna is minimized.

International Classification:
H01F 38/14
US Classification:
307104
Abstract:
A wireless energy transfer system includes a first energy transfer unit having at least one resonant frequency, a second energy transfer unit having the at least one resonant frequency, and a load. The first wireless energy transfer unit includes a first coil magnetically coupled to a first wireless energy transfer cell, and the second wireless energy transfer unit includes a second coil magnetically coupled to a second wireless energy transfer cell. The first coil receives first energy and through the magnetic coupling between the first coil and the first wireless energy transfer cell, the first wireless energy transfer cell is caused to generate second energy, wherein the second wireless energy transfer cell receives the second energy and through the magnetic coupling between the second wireless energy transfer cell and the second coil, the second coil is caused to provide third electromagnetic wave energy to the load.

International Classification:
A61B 5/0478
US Classification:
600382, 600383, 600377, 600544
Abstract:
Electrodes providing excellent recording and physical stability. Electrodes that include a plurality of small teeth that possess a novel design shape and orientation are disclosed. The shallow and relatively long teeth preferably run parallel to the rim of the electrode that presses against the patient's skin. When the electrode is twisted onto skin, the teeth penetrate nearly horizontally under the stratum corneum. The electrodes cause minimal discomfort to the patient since the teeth do not extend to the pain fibers which are located in deeper layers of the skin. The electrodes may house a diversity of electronic components to enable numerous experimental and medical implementations. The electrodes may also be used wirelessly without electrode leads. The electrodes may be fabricated using precision photo-chemical etching techniques that are well known in the art. An electrode installation device that preferably employs the electrodes is also disclosed.
