  • Data acquisition device and biosensor
    Patent number: 12102437
    Abstract: A data acquisition device includes an integrated circuit and an information processor. The integrated circuit has a first terminal for receiving a master/slave switching signal upon start of data acquisition, an ADC for converting analog input data to digital data, and an output terminal for outputting the digital data. The information processor generates the master/slave switching signal, and has a second terminal connected to the first terminal and for outputting the master/slave switching signal, and an input terminal connected to the output terminal and for receiving the digital data. The information processor operates in the master mode when the integrated circuit operates in the slave mode. The information processor operates in the slave when the integrated circuit operates in the master mode. The integrated circuit outputs the digital data when operating in the master mode according to the master/slave switching signal.

  • Brain-machine interface system capable of changing amount of communication data from internal device, and control method therefor
    Patent number: 11779278
    Abstract: An internal device (1) is implanted in a living body (300). A control section (6) causes a communication section (5) to wirelessly transmit data corresponding to electroencephalogram signals of the living body (300) which are detected through a group of N (N is 2 or more) electrodes, to an external device (200). When the communication section (5) receives a designation signal designating a group of M electrode(s) (2a), M being smaller than N, the communication section (5) is caused to transmit data corresponding to electroencephalogram signals of the living body (300) which are detected through the group of M electrode(s) (2a), to the external device (200) in real time.
