RF powering of millimeter- and submillimeter-sized neural prosthetic implants
Open accessAbstract
The size of the transducers for neural stimulation has shrunk steadily with application of thin-film techniques to electrode design. The feasibility is examined of designing millimeter- and submillimeter-sized power sources based on RF coupling that could be integrated into these implants to provide power without a tethering power cable. The coupling between a transmitter coil and receiver coil when the coil diameters are markedly different is analyzed, and for these circumstances, a simple Thevenin equivalent model is developed to describe the power transmission between the transmitter and receiver. The equivalent circuit developed gives insight into the way that coil diameters, frequency, and turns affect coupling between large and small coils. Several examples demonstrate that milliwatt range power sources can be implemented with millimeter- and submillimeter-diameter receivers.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
