161 Low power signal transmission US12652335 2010-01-05 US08363867B2 2013-01-29 Erwin Hochmair; Ingeborg Hochmair
A low-power implant system. The system includes an implant for implantation into a person, such as a cochlear implant or a middle ear implant. The implant is capable of communicating with a device via transmission of ultra wideband pulses. The device may be adapted to be worn external to the person, or may be a second implant. So as to conserve battery power, the transmitted ultra wideband pulses may have a low duty cycle of approximately 1/1000 or less. Power savings may also be realized by using time-gating amplifiers in the implant and/or device receiver.
162 PET ANIMAL COLLAR FOR HEALTH & VITAL SIGNS MONITORING, ALERT AND DIAGNOSIS US13400595 2012-02-21 US20130014706A1 2013-01-17 Avi Menkes
A collar for pet animals may have sensor elements remotely actuatable to measure vital signs of the animal (such as respiration, pulse, temperature and movement) and a processor that can interpret the results of multiple vital sign readings. A two way communication device alerts the pet owner, veterinarian or authorities. A veterinarian can remotely take a particular vital sign measurement when alerted. The sensor elements embedded in the collar's band has at least one elastic pin extending toward the animal's neck to gather data processed on the collar or remotely. To improve STN ratio, an elastic layer may absorb noise from friction due to movement of the animal's head. The collar may adjust the tightness of the band for taking vital sign readings. For example pump may injects air through a tubular compertment running along the circumference of the band. A safety mechanism may release the collar.

167 Hearing aid with wireless transmission system, and operating method therefor US11001966 2004-12-01 US07433480B2 2008-10-07 Torsten Niederdränk
To allow bidirectional data communication to be realized in hearing aids which have only a restricted installation space, the earphone, i.e. the electroacoustic transducer unit, is used as the transmitter and the telephone coil as the receiver for high-frequency signal components. This makes it possible to dispense with the installation of an additional antenna, generally of a large volume, that is optimized for transmitting and receiving operations. If appropriate, a small additional antenna may also be used purely as a receiving antenna for high-frequency signals.

A magnetic communication system includes a transmitter have a single coil transducer, and a receiver having a three orthogonally oriented coil transducers.

Transmissions from the receiver to the transmitter are also phase adjusted in accordance with the same adjustments used in reception.

171 Methods and apparatus for tuning in an inductive system US11373456 2006-03-10 US07236741B2 2007-06-26 Vincent Palermo; Domenic F. Terranova
Electronic circuitry supports utilization of a series of pulses of varying width to tune a transducer (e.g., a coil that produces or receives a magnetic field) for transmitting or receiving. For example, a control voltage generator generates a sequence of digital pulses of varying pulse widths to produce respective control voltages. The control voltage generator applies a produced control voltage to a varactor element whose capacitance changes depending on a magnitude of the produced control voltage. The varactor element forms part of a tank circuit. Consequently, the series of pulse widths controls an operating frequency of the tank circuit at different times. The tank circuit includes an inductive coil that is tuned to produce or receive a magnetic or inductive field.

Contents of one or more received messages can be analyzed to determine whether a transceiver device generating the inductive field has already been programmed with a unique communication code. If not, bidirectional communications can be established to program the transceiver device with a unique communication code over an inductive link. Orientation or position of a transceiver device can be used to initiate a process for programming a communication code. Generally, the communication code can define a unique relationship between two or more transceiver devices.

A system and method communicate signals between a portable unit and a communications system. The portable device communicates with a base unit using inductive coupling. The base unit is further connected to a wider communication system such as a telephone network. Multiple, orthogonally arranged transducers are used in the base unit to provide a more complete magnetic field and to prevent mutual inductance nulls which are otherwise present in a magnetic field. The use of short-range inductive coupling minimizes the power requirements and limits interference with other sources. The inductive coupling may also be used to recharge a battery in the portable device.

180 Inductively coupled wireless system and method US09285511 1999-04-02 US06424820B1 2002-07-23 Wayne A. Burdick; James H. Boyden; William C. Lynch
A short range inductively coupled wireless communication system employs analog frequency modulation of a high frequency carrier and magnetic coupling between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. A transmitter coupled to the transmitting antenna modulates multiple high-fidelity analog audio signals and digital control messages onto separate high frequency (“HF”) carriers. The electric field portion of the transmitted electromagnetic field is substantially eliminated during transmission, while the magnetic field portion is substantially unaffected. The receiving antenna is coupled to a demodulator which reproduces the audio frequency signals and decodes control messages sent by the transmitter.
