Abstract: A method of providing power to an implant includes: transcutaneously receiving first power wirelessly from a source transmitter by a receiver of a power relay device, the receiver of the power relay device being disposed inside a biological body and closer to a skin of the biological body than the implant is to the skin of the biological body; converting the first power into second power that has a substantially different frequency than the first power, or is of different type of power than the first power, or both; and internally coupling the second power from a transmitter of the power relay device to the implant disposed within the biological body.

Abstract: A body support device includes a base section with a wall ergonomically contoured to conform generally to the portion of the human back between the head and lower torso as it reclines in a posture intermediate prone and supine positions. The contoured wall further supports a user in seated and supine positions. The base may also include a cavity disposed at the end of the base that receives an object. A cap connects to the base to cover the cavity and secure the object therein. In addition, a connecting member may be used to connect multiple support devices together at a desired angle. A protective cover may also be used to prevent damage to the body support device.
