A61N 1/372
US Classification:
607 72
Abstract:
An implantable neural stimulator includes one or more electrodes, at least one antenna, and one or more circuits connected to the at least one antenna. The one or more electrodes are configured to apply one or more electrical pulses to excitable tissue. The antenna is configured to receive one or more input signals containing polarity assignment information and electrical energy, the polarity assignment information designating polarities for the electrodes. The one or more circuits are configured to control an electrode interface such that the electrodes have the polarities designated by the polarity assignment information; create one or more electrical pulses using the electrical energy contained in the input signal; and supply the one or more electrical pulses to the one or more electrodes through the electrode interface so that the one or more electrical pulses are applied according to the polarities designated by the polarity assignment information.

International Classification:
A61N 1/372
US Classification:
607 59
Abstract:
A system includes a controller module, which includes a storage device, a controller, a modulator, and one or more antennas. The storage device is stored with parameters defining a stimulation waveform. The controller is configured to generate, based on the stored parameters, an output signal that includes the stimulation waveform, wherein the output signal additionally includes polarity assignments for electrodes in an implantable, passive stimulation device. The modulator modulates a stimulus carrier signal with the output signal to generate a transmission signal. The one or more antennas transmit the transmission signal to the implantable, passive stimulation device such that the implantable, passive stimulation device uses energy in the transmission signal for operation, sets the polarities for the electrodes in the implantable, passive stimulation device based on the encoded polarity assignments, generates electrical pulses using the stimulation waveform, and applies the electrical pulses to excitable tissue.

US Classification:
607 62
Abstract:
An implantable neural stimulator method for modulating excitable tissue in a patient including: implanting a neural stimulator within the body of the patient such that one or more electrodes of the neural stimulator are positioned at a target site adjacent to or near excitable tissue; generating an input signal with a controller module located outside of, and spaced away from, the patient's body; transmitting the input signal to the neural stimulator through electrical radiative coupling; converting the input signal to electrical pulses within the neural stimulator; and applying the electrical pulses to the excitable tissue sufficient to modulate said excitable tissue.

International Classification:
A61N 1/36
US Classification:
607 60
Abstract:
An implantable neural stimulator includes one or more electrodes, a dipole antenna, and one or more circuits and does not include an internal power source. The one or more electrodes are configured to apply one or more electrical pulses to neural tissue. The dipole antenna is configured to receive an input signal containing electrical energy utilizing electrical radiative coupling (for example, in the frequency range form 300 MHz to 8 GHz). The one or more circuits are configured to create one or more electrical pulses using the electrical energy contained in the input signal; supply the electrical pulses to the electrodes such the electrical pulses are applied to neural tissue; generate a stimulus feedback signal; and send the feedback to the dipole antenna to transmit to the second antenna through electrical radiative coupling.

International Classification:
A61N 1/372 A61N 1/378
Abstract:
Implementations provide a method that includes: placing a controller device over a surface region of the patient where the implantable wireless stimulation device has been implanted; configuring the controller device to (i) monitor a return loss representing electrical power reflected from the implantable wireless stimulation device to the controller device; (ii) compute a first path loss metric based on a first monitored return loss when the controller device is place over a first location within the surface region; (iii) compute a second path loss metric based on a second monitored return loss when the controller device is over a second location within the surface region; and (iv) generate a feedback to an operator to indicate whether the second path loss is smaller than the first path loss such that the controller device is placed at a location with more electrical energy non-inductively transferred to the implantable wireless stimulation device.
