Publication number: 20230380768Abstract: Gastric resident electronics, devices, systems, and related methods are generally provided. Some embodiments comprise administering (e.g., orally) an (electronic) resident structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) such that the (electronic) resident structure is retained at a location internal to the subject for a particular amount of time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) before exiting said location internal to the subject. In some embodiments, the resident structure is a gastric resident electronic. That is to say, in some embodiments, the resident structure is configured for relatively long gastric residence and comprises an electronic component. In some embodiments, the structures and components described herein may comprise one or more components configured for the delivery of an active substance(s) (e.g., a pharmaceutical agent) to the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicants: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.Inventors: Robert S. Langer, Carlo Giovanni Traverso, Yong Lin Kong

Patent number: 11239422Abstract: Disclosed is a process whereby diverse classes of materials can be 3D printed and fully integrated into device components with active properties. An exemplary embodiment shows the seamless interweaving of five different materials, including (1) emissive semiconducting inorganic nanoparticles, (2) an elastomeric matrix, (3) organic polymers as charge transport layers, (4) solid and liquid metal leads, and (5) a UV-adhesive transparent substrate layer, demonstrating the integrated functionality of these materials. Further disclosed is a device for printing these fully integrated 3D devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: TRUSTEES OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITYInventors: Michael C. McAlpine, Yong Lin Kong

Publication number: 20170311894Abstract: Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include an ingestible power harvesting device and related applications. An ingestible power harvesting device includes a cathode electrode and an anode electrode that can catalyze a power generating reaction to generate a direct current (DC) power when surrounded by an acidic electrolyte. The cathode electrode and the anode electrode are coupled to an encapsulated electronic device that includes power harvesting circuitry configured to harvest the DC power and output a DC supply voltage for a prolonged period. In examples discussed herein, the prolonged period is at least five days. The DC supply voltage powers an electronic circuit in the encapsulated electronic device to support a defined in vivo operation (e.g., controlled drug delivery, in vivo vital signs monitoring, etc.). As such, the ingestible power harvesting device can operate in vivo for the prolonged period without requiring an embedded conventional battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Phillip Nadeau, Dina El-Damak, Dean Glettig, Yong Lin Kong, Niclas Roxhed, Robert Langer, Anantha P. Chandrakasan, Carlo Giovanni Traverso
