  • Publication number: 20250017468
    Abstract: A method includes providing an ensemble of distributed sensors, delivering radio frequency (RF) power to each sensor by inductive near-field coupling by a magnetic field projected by an epidermal transmit (Tx) coil, in each individual sensor, detecting a sparse binary event in its immediate environment, reporting the detected sparse binary event to an external RF receiver hub asynchronously and with low latency, and minimizing error rates due to statistical data packet collisions in asynchronous telemetry by digitally encoding each sensor according to a particular address scheme where each address is one function from an infinite set of mathematically orthogonal functions, enabling a simultaneous detection from up to ten thousand points without interference at a common receiver.

  • Patent number: 10433754
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an electrical interface to a body are provided. In one embodiment, an implantable module is disclosed, comprising: an implantable electrode array, implantable within a body and capable of providing a plurality of communication channels for communicating electrical signals detected in a body; an amplifier circuit for processing electrical signals received from the electrode array; a wireless transceiver for sending and receiving telemetry data between the amplifier circuit and a wireless receiver located outside of the body; and a sealed enclosure that houses the amplifier circuit and the wireless transmitter and is biocompatible with surrounding tissue, the enclosure having a window that is transparent to a wireless medium used by the wireless transceiver.
