  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEAT MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20240063462
    Abstract: An implantable battery pack is provided. The implantable battery pack includes a housing, a plurality of battery cells positioned within the housing, and an electronics layout positioned within the housing, the electronics layout electrically coupled to the plurality of battery cells. The electronics layout includes at least one printed circuit board including electronics mounted thereon, and at least one thermally conductive wing coupled to and extending from the at least one printed circuit board, the at least one thermally conductive wing operable to spread heat generated by the electronics throughout the implantable battery pack.

  • Systems and Methods for Inertial Sensing for VAD Diagnostics and Closed Loop Control
    Publication number: 20220161016
    Abstract: A blood circulation assist system includes a ventricular assist device (VAD) and a controller. The VAD is attachable to a heart of a patient to pump blood from a ventricle of the heart into a blood vessel of the patient. The VAD includes an impeller, a motor stator operable to rotate the impeller, and an accelerometer generating an accelerometer output indicative of accelerations of the VAD. The controller controls operation of the motor stator to control rotational speed of the impeller based on the accelerometer output.
