Patent number: 11198006Abstract: During charging of implantable devices via inductive coupling, heat may be produced within the implantable device, so control of the charging may be desirable to reduce or avoid the risk of undesirable tissue heating. Exchanging parameters relevant for charging may prevent undesirable heating, but typically increase the complexity of the devices used. An implantable device is provided, for wirelessly receiving energy pulses, monitoring the energy storage, and transmitting a first sufficient energy signal if the energy storage exceeds a first maximum value. An associated energy transmission device is provided, for wirelessly transmitting a plurality of successive energy pulses transmitted at a first power level, pausing energy transmission immediately after the first sufficient energy signal is received, and subsequently resuming energy pulse transmission at the first power level if no further sufficient energy signal is received.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: SALVIA BIOELECTRONICS B.V.Inventors: Rutger Nijlunsing, Hubert Martens

Patent number: 9019272Abstract: Curved Planar Reformation (CPR), producing a Curved Planar Reformat, is a technique to provide a representation of an anatomical structure which is curved through a 3D volume. This reformation process can result in image artifacts, leaving it up to the user to determine what are artifacts and what are actual anatomical features. The invention provides assistance to the user by detecting areas of potential ambiguity during the CPR procedure, and distinguishing these areas on the display to the user. In this way, the user no longer needs detailed knowledge of how the CPR is performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2010Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventor: Rutger Nijlunsing
