  • Implantable device and system and method for wireless communication
    Patent number: 7782190
    Abstract: A wireless communication method and protocol, and wireless devices and systems for stimulation, are provided for communication between a wireless device and a charging device. During active wireless charging, communications (data transmission) from the wireless device to the charging device occurs via pulse loading the receive antenna of the receiving device. Because switching regulation in the receiving device may interfere with the communications, the switching regulation is disabled during a communications window. To further reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation of signals detected in the charging device resulting from the switching regulation or noise, the data bit rate of the pulse loading communications is maintained higher than the switching regulation frequency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2010
    Assignee: Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Gregory R Martin, Gregg Turi, Marc Shanko, Rami Elghandour, Thomas Palma, William L Winstrom
