Abstract: A system and method for wireless streaming link break-in is disclosed. A first device transmits digital packets to a second device over a wireless streaming link. A third device synchronizes itself with the second device. Once the third device is synchronized with the second device, the third device transmits command request packets to the second device during a data receive window. The wireless streaming link is inactive during the data receive window. The second device responds to the request during a next data receive window.

Abstract: A two-wire medical implant, method and system for transferring power and data over a two-wire connection between a first medical implant and a second medical implant. The second medical implant comprises a clamping circuit for extracting the data. In one form, the second medical implant also comprises a voltage multiplier which is formed in part by the clamping circuit. In one embodiment, the second medical implant also comprises a DC decoupling capacitor which forms a part of the clamping circuit. The medical implant and medical implant system may be used in a cochlear implant system.

Abstract: A communication system for an active implantable medical device. The communication system includes an isolation transformer a coil coupled to the isolation transformer, and first and second communication components each coupled to the isolation transformer such that the first and second communication components are electrically isolated from the coil, and such that the isolation transformer enables the first and second communication components to communicate, via magnetic induction (MI) using the coil, with at least one external component.

Abstract: An improved antenna device for BTE devices, such a hearing prostheses, is disclosed. Antenna elements (111, 114) are disposed in the BTE body (101) and in the earhook (102), with dielectric material (112, 113) disposed between, so as to form a capacitive coupling.
