Systems And Methods For Communicating With Or Providing Power To An Implantable Stimulator
US Patent:
8386048, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
Jan 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/034190

Assignee:
Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation - Valencia CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/378
US Classification:
607 60, 607 61, 607 32, 607 31
Abstract:
An exemplary system for communicating with or providing power to an implantable stimulator includes a coil configured to emit a magnetic field for driving a corresponding circuit in the implantable stimulator and a coil driver circuit configured to drive the coil with a tuning frequency. The coil driver circuit actively adjusts the tuning frequency such that the coil operates at a frequency substantially equal to a resonant frequency. An exemplary method of communicating with or providing power to an implantable stimulator includes driving a coil with a tuning frequency and actively adjusting the tuning frequency such that the coil operates at a frequency substantially equal to a resonant frequency. The coil emits a magnetic field used to drive a corresponding circuit in the implantable stimulator.
Visual Prosthetic Apparatus For Retinal Stimulation
US Patent:

Robert J. Greenberg - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607 54
Abstract:
A visor for retinal stimulation of visually impaired subjects is shown. The visor comprises a frame, an external coil, a camera and a mounting system. A connector allows the external coil to be positioned along a first direction. A sliding device allows the external coil to be positioned along a second direction. Positioning of the visor on a subject's nose allows the external coil to be positioned along a third direction. Positioning of the external coil along the first, second or third direction is useful to maximize coupling RF coupling between the external coil and an internal coil implanted on a subject wearing the visor.
