Device for an electrophysiology procedure
A quantum cardiac electrophysiology device comprising an array of consumable half-ferromagnetic active electrodes connected to an array of semiconductor of half-ferromagnetic selector switches over an array of half-ferromagnetic resistors to a neutral charges out of the heart, by casting and/or inking the arrhythmic substrate of an arrhythmia by the electrophysiology quantum entan- glement of said arrhythmic substrate.
Device for an electrophysiology procedure
A quantum spin liquid (QSL) electrophysiology device comprising a spontaneous and an induced quantum arrhythmia vacuum states, switchable between them through at least one entangled measurement of one negative differential resistance.
SYNC PULSE DETECTOR
Disclosed herein are devices and methods used with neurostimulation therapy for spinal cord injury. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to a sync pulse detector and methods for synchronizing signals from an implanted neurostimulator with measured physiological responses and other data.
Multisite Leadless Cardiac Resynchronization
Synchronized stimulation of cardiac tissue can be implemented by implanting two or more rectifier-based AM receivers into different positions within a subject's heart. Each receiver is tuned to a different frequency, and generates an output signal that is capable of stimulating cardiac tissue when a signal at the corresponding tuned frequency arrives at the receiver. An AM transmitter can activate any given one of the receivers by transmitting a signal into the subject's body at the proper frequency. A controller controls the transmitter by commanding the transmitter to transmit pulses of AC at different frequencies at different times, so that when those pulses are received by the correspondingly-tuned receivers, each of the receivers will generate respective output signals that stimulate respective parts of the heart at respective times to promote improved cardiac performance.
Implantable electroacupuncture system and method for treating depression and similar mental conditions
A method of treating a mental disorder of a patient includes generating, by an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted beneath a skin surface of the patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05 and applying, by the implantable stimulator in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a tissue location associated with the mental disorder. The duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4. Each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes. The implantable stimulator is powered by a primary battery located within the implantable stimulator and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms.
ARCED IMPLANT UNIT FOR MODULATION OF NERVES
An implant unit configured for implantation into a body of a subject is provided. The implant unit may include a flexible carrier unit including a central portion and two elongated arms extending from the central portion, an antenna, located on the central portion, configured to receive a signal, at least one pair of electrodes arranged on a first elongated arm of the two elongated arms. The at least one pair of electrodes may be adapted to modulate a first nerve. The elongated arms of the flexible carrier may be configured to form an open ended curvature around a muscle with the nerve to be stimulated within an arc of the curvature.
IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING HIS BUNDLE PACING CAPTURE
An implantable medical device system receives a cardiac electrical signal produced by a patient's heart and comprising atrial P-waves and delivers a His bundle pacing pulse to the patient's heart via a His pacing electrode vector. The system determines a timing of a sensed atrial P-wave relative to the His bundle pacing pulse and determines a type of capture of the His bundle pacing pulse in response to the determined timing of the atrial P-wave.
ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICE AND ELECTRICAL STIMULATION SYSTEM
An electrical stimulation device includes a signal receiving circuit, a rectifying circuit and a signal processing circuit. The signal receiving circuit receives and outputs a frequency signal. The rectifying circuit receives the frequency signal and rectifies the frequency signal to generate a rectifying signal. The signal processing circuit receives the rectifying signal to generate an electrical stimulation signal.
Adjustment of Advertising Interval in Communications Between an Implantable Medical Device and an External Device
An advertising algorithm is disclosed which operates in an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) to adjust an interval at which the IMD will transmit advertising data packets to an external device able to connect with the IMD. When a communication session between the IMD and an external device is terminated, the advertising algorithm will issue advertising data packets at a higher rate for a set duration. This will allow the external device to connect more quickly with the IMD in a next communication session. After the set duration, when it may be assumed that the external device is less likely to connect with the IMD, the algorithm reduces that rate at which advertising data packets are issued, which saves power in the IMD.
