  • Patent number: 10117621
    Abstract: An implantable device includes a body part and a piezoelectric part. The body part is configured to grasp a pulsatile organic or inorganic tissue. The piezoelectric part is mechanically coupled to the body part and is configured to convert a varying shear force transferred from the body part to the piezoelectric part into voltage. An implantable system, comprises the implantable device and a stent like object configured to be inserted and deployed within a pulsatile or static tissue. The implantable device is configured to form a sealed junction with the pulsatile tissue while pressing against an outer circumference area of the stent.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9984321
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a chip card is described including a chip, an antenna, a coupling structure configured to transmit energy from the antenna to the chip and a control element configured to control, depending on a field strength of a magnetic field to which the chip card is exposed, at least one of the resonance frequency of the antenna, the quality factor of the antenna and an energy transmission efficiency of the coupling structure.
