    摘要: A device external to an implantable medical device (IMD) is provided with an accurate reference clock. The programmer receives time data from the IMD and compares that data to time data from the reference clock. Based on this comparison, the programmer determines how much a clock within the IMD is drifting per unit of time. A correction factor is generated so that data received from the IMD can then be correlated to the correct reference time.

    摘要: The invention is directed to techniques for synchronizing the internal clocks of two devices, such as an implantable medical device and an external device, with reduced reliance on periodic polling. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a technique in which one of the devices computes a time drift. The time drift may occur because the internal clock of one device may run more slowly than the internal clock of the other device. One device may poll the other as a function of the time drift. In another embodiment, a system of medical devices synchronizes internal clocks to a time signal generated by a time reference.

    摘要: An adaptive, performance-optimizing communication system for communicating with an implanted medical device in which signals are transmitted and received in accordance with predetermined, interrelated operational parameters, such as transmission rate, transmitter power, and the like. Various aspects of system performance, including bit error rate in received signals, the strength of received signals, the signal-to-noise ratio of received signals, the presence of local RF noise and non-telemetry related RF signals, and the like, are dynamically monitored by the communication system, to determine whether predetermined system performance goals are being met. If it is determined that one or more system performance goals are not being met, one or more operational parameters may be automatically adjusted so that desired performance can be achieved.

    摘要: An antenna structure for an implantable medical device (IMD) is provided including a lower dielectric biocompatible antenna portion positioned on a body side of the structure and a high dielectric portion including at least one dielectric substrate having a high dielectric constant positioned on a device side of the structure. The biocompatible antenna portion is derived from an antenna layer, a biocompatible surface layer, and at least one layer of biocompatible dielectric material (e.g., high temperature cofire ceramic (HTCC) material) that provides a matching gradient between the antenna and the surrounding environment. The high dielectric portion may include at least one layer of low temperature cofire ceramic (LTCC) material. The high dielectric portion may be bonded to the biocompatible antenna portion or cofired with the biocompatible antenna portion to form a single bilayer monolithic antenna structure having a lower dielectric HTCC biocompatible antenna portion and a high dielectric LTCC portion.
