Embodiments relate to an implantable device. Specifically, a device includes a flexible connection component that includes a set of conductive filaments that connect a set of electrodes (or traces connected to the electrodes) and circuitry that receives and/or transmits electronic signals from and/or to the electrodes.

Implantable medical devices with microfabricated leads

The current document is directed to various types of oscillating resonant modules ('ORMs'), including linear-resonant vibration modules, that can be incorporated in a wide variety of appliances, devices, and systems to provide vibrational forces. The vibrational forces are produced ley back-and-forth oscillation of a weight or member along a path, generally a segment of a space curve. A controller controls each of one or more ORMs to produce driving oscillations according to a control curve or control pattern for the ORM that specifies the frequency of the driving oscillations with respect to time. The driving oscillations, in turn, elicit a desired vibration response in the device, appliance, or system in which the one or more ORMs are included. The desired vibration response is achieved by selecting and scaling control patterns in view of known resonance frequencies of the device, appliance, or system.

Oscillating-resonant-module controller

A medication packet bundle includes one or more beacons. Each beacon may transmit a signal representing an event related to patient compliance with a medication regimen, such as removal of a packet of medication from a bundle or opening of a packet. The transmitted beacon signals can be monitored and processed to track patient compliance and adherence.
