    摘要: The present inventions provide a locomotive implant for usage within a predetermined magnetic field that includes a capsule body; a wireless power receiver disposed within the capsule body; a plurality of switchable conductors having a predetermined pattern within the capsule body, each of the switchable conductors adapted to pass a current along a forward path to thereby create, in the presence of the predetermined magnetic field, a force and assist in moving the locomotive implant; and a controller adapted to receive directional control signals to control the switchable current wires or conductors. Methods of using the same are described.

    摘要: Described is an apparatus and method for increasing a gain of a transmitted power signal in a wireless link when operating in a mid field wavelength that is within a range between wavelength/100 to 100*wavelength and within a medium having a complex impedance between a transmit antenna and a receive antenna. The apparatus and method maximize the gain in the wireless link using simultaneous conjugate matching, to increase power transfer within the transmitted power signal, wherein the simultaneous conjugate matching accounts for interaction between the transmit antenna and the receive antenna, including the complex impedance of the medium between the transmit antenna and the receive antenna.

    摘要: Implantable devices and/or sensors can be wirelessly powered by controlling and propagating electromagnetic waves in a patient's tissue. Such implantable devices/sensors can be implanted at target locations in a patient, to stimulate areas such as the heart, brain, spinal cord, or muscle tissue, and/or to sense biological, physiological, chemical attributes of the blood, tissue, and other patient parameters. In some embodiments, the implantable devices can include power management schemes that have one or more AC-DC conversion chains arranged and configured to rectify the induced alternating current or voltage into one or more energy domains. Methods of use are also described.
