    摘要: System and methods for adjusting electrical therapy based on impedance changes are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with a particular embodiment includes applying a therapeutic electrical signal to a patient via an implanted portion of a patient stimulation system that includes a signal delivery device in electrical communication with a target neural population of the patient. The electrical signal is delivered in accordance with a signal delivery parameter having a first value. Using the implanted portion of the patient stimulation system, a change in an impedance of an electrical circuit that includes the signal delivery device is detected. Based at least in part on the detected impedance change, the method can further include automatically adjusting the value of the signal delivery parameter from the first value to a second value different from the first, without human intervention.

    摘要: A microcontroller power management system wherein the voltage of a power supply is monitored and the microcontroller central processing unit ("CPU") receives an interrupt signal when the supply voltage falls below a predetermined level. The CPU monitors the duration of the low voltage condition and switches into a sleep mode, after storing any data in its registers that are not maintained in the sleep mode, when that duration exceeds a fixed limit that indicates more than a temporary power glitch is being experienced. If only a short power glitch, the CPU continues normal operation. A large capacitor connected to the power supply input to the microcontroller provides enough energy for the microcontroller to operate normally during short glitches and to operate in a sleep mode for a considerable time, thereby maintaining data in CMOS static RAM until power is restored. This is particularly useful for battery operated systems, responding to both a low battery voltage condition and to a complete loss of power during battery replacement.
