  • Publication number: 20220409907
    Abstract: An example medical device includes a battery configured to provide power to the medical device and stimulation circuitry configured to generate an electrical stimulation signal. The medical device includes hibernation control circuitry configured to cause the medical device to enter a hibernation mode in response to a hibernation trigger and exit the hibernation mode in response to a wake-up trigger. The medical device includes a switch configured to open in response to the hibernation control circuitry causing the medical device to enter a hibernation mode and close in response to the hibernation control circuitry causing the medical device to exit the hibernation mode and isolation interface circuitry configured to prevent power leakage from the hibernation control circuitry to the stimulation circuitry when the medical device is in hibernation mode. The stimulation circuitry is not powered by the battery when the medical device is in the hibernation mode.

  • Patent number: 11315682
    Abstract: Techniques are described for real-time phase detection. For the phase detection, a signal is correlated with a frequency component of a frequency band whose phase is being detected, and the correlation includes predominantly decreasing weighting of past portions of the signals.

  • Patent number: 10765869
    Abstract: An example method for controlling delivery of electrical stimulation therapy includes maintaining, by one or more processors of a medical device configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient, a counter tied to a clock used by the medical device to deliver the electrical stimulation to the patient; and obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more representations of sensed electrical signals for the patient that are referenced to counts of the counter. In this example, the method also includes identifying, based on the one or more representations of the sensed electrical signals for the patient, a count of the counter at which stimulation is to be delivered to the patient; and delivering, by the medical device and to the patient, electrical stimulation based on the identified count of the counter.

  • Publication number: 20080140159
    Abstract: An implantable device to be implanted into a body of a patient includes a monitoring system configured to monitor biological signals of the patient, and generate corresponding waveform data. The implantable device includes a first buffer for continually storing the waveform data, a second buffer, and a controller configured to copy waveform data from the first buffer to the second buffer at regular intervals.
