Abstract: A communication device includes: a board having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a third surface different from both the first surface and the second surface; a first magnetic sheet disposed on a side of the first surface; a first coil disposed on the first magnetic sheet; a second magnetic sheet disposed on a side of the second surface; a second coil disposed on the second magnetic sheet; and a third coil disposed on the third surface. A part of the first magnetic sheet overlaps at least a part of the third coil in plan view.

Abstract: Method and systems for optimizing acoustic energy transmission in implantable devices are disclosed. Transducer elements transmit acoustic locator signals towards a receiver assembly, and the receiver responds with a location signal. The location signal can reveal information related to the location of the receiver and the efficiency of the transmitted acoustic beam received by the receiver. This information enables the transmitter to target the receiver and optimize the acoustic energy transfer between the transmitter and the receiver. The energy can be used for therapeutic purposes, for example, stimulating tissue or for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: A bone conduction device includes: a case; a vibrating body disposed in the case; and a first weight held by the vibrating body vibrating body. The vibrating body includes a support portion supported by the case and a first holding portion that holds the first weight. A center of mass of the first weight is located outside a first normal region of the vibrating body in the first holding portion.

Abstract: The two-way communication system comprises a non-invasive and non-implanted system which remains completely invisible to an outside observer when in use by an operator or user and allows for clear two-way communications. This system is generally comprised of a mouthpiece component, relay component, infrastructure communication device, and an optional system control which may interface with the relay component.

Abstract: The first illustrative embodiment includes a lace or strap which runs behind the heel down the sides of the foot, under the sole of the foot, crosses to opposite sides of the foot, comes up over the toes ending in a cinch. Loops and slots are provided in the shoe to accommodate the additional strap. The second illustrative embodiment includes a heel strap which runs behind the heel, down the sides of the foot where it engages a loop near the bottom of the foot and loops over to the top of the foot where it engages opposite sides of a conventional lace. Tightening of the conventional lace causes a tightening of this heel strap. The second embodiment also includes a toe strap which is attached to opposite sides of the sole, crosses over the sole to opposite sides of the toes, loops over the toes and engages the bottom of a conventional lace. Tightening of the conventional lace causes a tightening of the toe strap.
