Abstract
Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for providing a therapy (e.g., stimulation) and/or data signal using an implantable device. Systems, devices and methods for interacting with (e.g., communicating with, receiving power from) an external device are also provided.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- an external power source that propagates a field within tissue;
- and
- an at least partially implantable device configured to receive the propagated field from the external power source, the implantable device including circuitry, a first receiver electrically coupled to the circuitry, a second receiver electrically coupled to the first receiver, and an electrode electrically connected to the circuitry.
An at least partially implantable, biocompatible device configured to be implanted in tissue and receive electric field-based signals, the device comprising:
- circuitry;
- a monopole or dipole antenna electrically coupled to the circuitry;
- and
- a second antenna electrically near field coupled to the first antenna.
1 more element
An implantable device comprising:
- a housing;
- circuitry within the housing;
- electrodes in a first portion of the device and configured to receive electrical energy from the circuitry;
- a first receiver in a second portion of the device opposite the first portion and electrically connected to the circuitry to provide electrical energy to the circuitry;
- and
- a second receiver electrically coupled, in a near field, to the first receiver, not physically connected by a conductor to the first antenna, and increases an amount of electromagnetic energy captured by the first receiver.
