  • Method and device for remote and nonconnected implementation of an implant and implant implemented by said device
    Patent number: 7457668
    Abstract: A method for remote and nonconnected interaction between an implant having an electrical motor and a transmitter/receiver inverter having an induction source having/connected to a power source for operating the electrical motor including creating modifications in an electromagnetic field by the transmitter/receiver inverter, and transmitting information in the form of binary data from the transmitter/receiver inverter to the implant; and a device for remote and nonconnected interaction with an implant having a transponder including an induction source having/connected to a power source, and means enabling the induction source to create modifications in an electromagnetic field generated in the device to transmit information in the form of binary data to the implant.
