摘要： A high energy battery power source suitable for use in an implantable medical device includes an input, an output, and two or more battery modules each comprising two or more battery cells. The battery cells are of relatively low voltage and permanently configured within each battery module in an electrically parallel arrangement in order to provide a desired current discharge level needed to achieve high-energy output. A switching system configures the battery modules between a first configuration wherein the battery modules are electrically connected in parallel to each other and to the input in order to receive charging energy at the relatively low voltage, and a second configuration wherein the battery modules are electrically connected in series to each other in order to provide to the output a relatively high voltage corresponding to the number of battery modules at a current level corresponding to the number of battery cells in a single battery module. An alternate embodiment permanently connects the battery modules in series so that no switching system is need for discharging and charging. A technique that provides for the control of discharge voltages on a pulse-to-pulse basis is also disclosed.

摘要： A programmable voltage-waveform-generating battery power source for implantable medical use enables an implantable device to deliver therapeutic electrical energy with flexible control of voltage amplitude, waveform and timing. The power source includes a high-energy battery system, a waveform control system and a power amplifier that collectively provide the capability to deliver electrical therapy with varied and programmable voltage waveforms, repetition rates and timing intervals that are unachievable with high voltage energy storage capacitors as presently practiced. The high-energy battery system supplies prime power to the power amplifier, the output of which is connected to physiologic electrodes for the purpose of delivering electrical therapy. The waveform control system is programmable and supplies waveform voltage control inputs to the power amplifier.

摘要： A hybrid battery power source for implantable medical use provides a generally constant low internal resistance during discharge and avoids voltage delays of the type that develop as a result of run down-induced resistance increase in Li/SVO cells. The hybrid battery power source utilizes two batteries or cells, one being a primary cell of relatively high energy density and the other being a secondary cell of relatively low internal resistance that is rechargeable. The primary and secondary cells are connected in a parallel arrangement via a voltage boost/charge control circuit that is powered by the primary cell and adapted to charge the secondary cell while limiting charge/discharge excursions thereof in a manner that optimizes its output for high energy medical device use. The energy storage capacitors of the medical device in which the hybrid battery power source is situated are driven by the secondary cell. The primary cell is used to as an energy source for recharging the secondary cell.

摘要： A hybrid battery power source for implantable medical use provides relatively stable resistance during discharge and avoids the voltage delays that develop as a result of variable resistance increase in Li/SVO cells. The hybrid battery power source utilizes two batteries or cells, one being a primary battery of relatively high energy density and the other being a rechargeable secondary battery of low relatively stable internal resistance. The primary and secondary batteries are connected in a parallel arrangement, preferably via an intermediate voltage boost circuit having an inductor and a pulse generating control circuit therein. The energy storage capacitors of the medical device in which the hybrid battery power source is situated are driven in whole or substantial part by the secondary battery. The primary battery is used to as an energy source for recharging the secondary battery. By arranging the two batteries in parallel, with one serving as a primary battery and the other as a rechargeable secondary battery, all the benefits of the defibrillatory impulse will be obtained and the deficiencies arising from variable voltage delay found in prior art implantable power sources will not be present.

摘要： An auxiliary device case for portable electronic devices provides physical protection from abrasion and mishandling. The device case includes an integral power converter module with small form factor. The power converter module is provided to power and recharge the internal batteries of the portable electronic device, and is stored within the case when not in use. The power converter module is removable from the case for connection to a wall power receptacle and is connected to the case by means of a retractable cord. The power converter module may include retractable blades and a hinged cord attachment to minimize the overall volume when stored within the case.

摘要： A high power thermoelectric controller system is disclosed, capable of operating multiple thermoelectric cooler (TEC) devices, each with a maximum power demand greater than 200 watts. The controller system utilizes interleaved triggering of multiple pulse width modulated power conversion circuits in order to minimize switching transient currents. In another aspect, the system incorporates a novel combination of a PWM controller circuit and H-bridge switching network into a single circuit that reduces the number of components needed to provide closed-loop proportional control of multiple TEC devices in a temperature control system.

摘要： An implantable device includes a device case comprising amorphous non-ferrous metal alloy material and having lower electrical conductivity than crystalline atomic structures comprising the same alloy constituents. The generation of eddy currents is thereby reduced and inductive charging and/or telemetry system operation can take place at higher frequencies with a resulting improvement in energy and data transfer efficiency.
