Abstract

Patients using implantable devices with wireless power transmission (such as inductive telemetry) as the energy source are required to carry external hardware and antennas on their body continuously during the monitoring period. This discomfort can be reduced by integrating tiny super-capacitors as an energy source for the device. The external wireless telemetry unit used to activate and interrogate the implantable device charges the super capacitors integrated on it. When the wireless telemetry unit is removed, the super capacitor powers the implantable device. This paper shows the benefits of integrating super capacitors onto an existing pressure sensing medical implant that utilises an inductive telemetry link. Test results show that the implant can be powered for a full day using an 88 mF super capacitor. This super capacitor can be fully charged using the inductive telemetry link at a wireless distance of 20 cm in 81 seconds.

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Transmitted energy is typically stored in internal rechargeable batteries or capacitors, even soft ones, for sustained use, although some systems may offer continuous power supply directly to capacitors.

    “The transmitted energy is typically stored in internal rechargeable batteries or capacitors (Mendoza-Ponce et al., 2018), even soft ones (Li et al., 2019; Sheng et al., 2021) for sustained use, although some systems may offer continuous power supply directly to capacitors.”

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.
