摘要： Method and systems for optimizing acoustic energy transmission in implantable devices are disclosed. Transducer elements transmit acoustic locator signals towards a receiver assembly, and the receiver responds with a location signal. The location signal can reveal information related to the location of the receiver and the efficiency of the transmitted acoustic beam received by the receiver. This information enables the transmitter to target the receiver and optimize the acoustic energy transfer between the transmitter and the receiver. The energy can be used for therapeutic purposes, for example, stimulating tissue or for diagnostic purposes.

摘要： The first illustrative embodiment includes a lace or strap which runs behind the heel down the sides of the foot, under the sole of the foot, crosses to opposite sides of the foot, comes up over the toes ending in a cinch. Loops and slots are provided in the shoe to accommodate the additional strap. The second illustrative embodiment includes a heel strap which runs behind the heel, down the sides of the foot where it engages a loop near the bottom of the foot and loops over to the top of the foot where it engages opposite sides of a conventional lace. Tightening of the conventional lace causes a tightening of this heel strap. The second embodiment also includes a toe strap which is attached to opposite sides of the sole, crosses over the sole to opposite sides of the toes, loops over the toes and engages the bottom of a conventional lace. Tightening of the conventional lace causes a tightening of the toe strap.

摘要翻译： 第一个说明性的实施例包括一个蕾丝或带子，该鞋带或带子在足部脚下方的脚后跟下方移动，穿过足部的相对两侧，并以足够的方式到达脚趾。 在鞋中提供了循环和槽，以容纳附加的皮带。 第二个说明性的实施例包括一脚跟带，该后跟在脚后跟下方，在脚的两侧附近，其接合靠近脚底部的环，并且环绕到脚的顶部，在该顶部与常规蕾丝的相对侧接合。 常规蕾丝的紧固会导致该鞋跟带的紧固。 第二实施例还包括附接到鞋底的相对侧的脚趾带，穿过鞋底到脚趾的相对侧，在脚趾上方环绕并接合传统花边的底部。 常规花边的紧固会导致脚趾紧固。
