    摘要: An illustrative timing-based power control apparatus includes a signal generation circuit and a power control circuit. The signal generation circuit is configured to generate a carrier signal for wireless transmission of output power and output data, the carrier signal associated with a first fundamental component having a particular frequency, a particular phase, and a first amplitude. The power control circuit is configured to generate a time-adjusted version of the carrier signal that maintains an amplitude of the carrier signal and adjusts a timing profile of the carrier signal such that a second fundamental component associated with the time-adjusted version of the carrier signal has the particular frequency, the particular phase, and a second amplitude lower than the first amplitude. The second amplitude may be associated with a target power level for the output power of the wireless transmission. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: An illustrative system includes a cochlear implant, a lead configured to be inserted into a cochlea of a patient by way of an insertion procedure, a plurality of electrodes disposed on the lead and including an intracochlear electrode and an extracochlear electrode, a probe coupled to the extracochlear electrode, and a processor communicatively coupled with the probe and the cochlear implant. During the insertion procedure, the processor directs the cochlear implant to short the intracochlear and extracochlear electrodes, then detects, by way of the probe and the shorted intracochlear and extracochlear electrodes, evoked responses measured at the intracochlear electrode. The evoked responses include a first evoked response measured at a first insertion depth and a second evoked response measured at a second insertion depth. The processor generates, based on the first and second evoked responses, a notification indicating that cochlear trauma has likely occurred at the second insertion depth.
