Abstract: An implant includes a processor, RF communication circuitry, optical communication circuitry, a power source and a memory, all of which being hermetically sealed within a housing having a transparent window. Sensor readings are transmitted by RF using the RF communication circuitry to a remote reader after receiving interrogation signals from the reader. During calibration of the sensor, corrective coefficients are calculated by comparing actual sensor pressure readings with known pressure readings. The corrective coefficients are transmitted to the memory of the control circuitry using optical communication wherein modulated light is transmitted through the transparent window of the housing to the photo-detector.

Abstract: Optimal power switching circuitry for use in a closed system such as a TET system including an internal device separated from an external device by a boundary. The internal and external devices being powered by separate power sources. During telemetric communication from the external device to the internal device an external RF energy source is produced. If the power supplied by the external RF energy source produced during communication from the external device to the internal device exceeds that required for powering of the internal device, then the power switching circuitry cuts off power to the internal power source and instead draws power from the external RF energy source thereby conserving power consumed from the internal power source. The power switching circuitry may be implemented using either passive components (e.g., diodes) or active components (e.g., an analog switch).

Abstract: A method for treating obesity by activating non-shivering thermogenesis in mitochondria of targeted brown adipose tissue. A photobiomodulation device including one or more light sources is provided. The mitochondria of the targeted brown adipose tissue is photobiomodulated by exposure to light produced by the light source at a wavelength that modulates photoactivity of an electron transport chain and increases proton transfer across a membrane of the mitochondria of the targeted brown adipose tissue towards an intern space of the mitochondria, without increasing production of adenosine triphosphate.

Abstract: A wireless communication system with power regulation feedback for improving the robustness of wireless communication transmissions between a receiver and an active emitter irrespective of the distance separation therebetween. The receiver receives wireless communications and detects a voltage induced therein. A feedback loop provides wireless transmission of power regulation feedback based on the detected voltage. The active emitter generates a power regulated data signal in which at least one of maximum and minimum bit voltage levels of respective logical high and low bits is adjusted based on the induced voltage received via the feedback loop. The RF power level, modulation index, and/or slew rate of a data signal emitted from the active emitter is regulated by adjusting at least one of maximum and minimum bit voltage levels of respective logical high and low bits based on voltage induced in the receiver during a previous communication from the active emitter.

Abstract: An adjustable resistance valve for a cerebrospinal fluid shunt system includes an actuator for allowing the selection of the resistance to flow of the valve, a device for selecting at least one passage traversing across the valve, and a resistance system. The resistance system includes a set of passages each defining a different resistance to flow. The passages are disposed in a circle facing the selecting device such as to guide the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid traversing the passage of the selecting device through the selected passage of the resistance system. The actuator enables one to change the relative position of the selecting device with respect to the resistance system by a rotational movement to select the desired resistance of the valve.
