20140012342 | APPARATUS AND METHODS USING ACOUSTIC TELEMETRY FOR INTRABODY COMMUNICATIONS - Systems and methods provide intrabody communication using acoustic telemetry. The system includes a first or control implant including a first acoustic transducer, and a second implant including a switch and a second acoustic transducer coupled to the switch. The second acoustic transducer receives acoustic signals from the first acoustic transducer for closing the switch to activate the second implant. The second implant may include a therapeutic device for providing therapy to the patient. For example, the second implant may provide pacing therapy, defibrillation therapy, pain control stimulation, or neuro-stimulation. | 01-09-2014 |
20130238044 | ACOUSTICALLY POWERED IMPLANTABLE STIMULATING DEVICE - An implantable stimulation system comprises an implantable stimulator and a control device. The control device is configured to transmit acoustic waves to the implantable stimulator, and the implantable stimulator is configured to transform the acoustic waves into electrical current, and generate stimulation energy based on the electrical current. For example, the electrical current can be transformed into electrical energy that can be used to generate the stimulation energy. Or the electrical current can contain signals used to directly or indirectly control the generation of the stimulation energy. | 09-12-2013 |
