Provided is an electronic device having a control device, a driver circuit coupled to the control device. The driver circuit is configured to alter conductance. A partial power source is coupled to the control device and is configured to provide a voltage potential difference to the control device and the driver circuit as a result of the partial power source being in contact with a conductive fluid. The partial power source includes a first material electrically coupled to the control device and a second material electrically coupled to the control device and electrically isolated from the first material. An inductor is coupled to the driver circuit. The driver circuit is configured to develop a current through the inductor. The magnitude of the current developed through the inductor is varied to produce an encoded signal that is remotely detectable by a receiver. Receivers to receive and decode also are disclosed.

Electromagnetic sensing and detection of ingestible event markers

The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can also measure the conditions of the environment surrounding the system.

Communication system with remote activation

Provided is an apparatus, system, and method for stabilizing battery voltage of a battery device while optimizing power delivered to a receiver during communication of a broadcast packet. A logic circuit is configured to receive a broadcast packet having a predetermined number of bits for communication by a controller to a receiver located remotely from the controller, determine a number of cycles in which a sampled battery voltage is either greater than or less than or equal to a nominal battery voltage over a first subset of the predetermined number of bits of the broadcast packet and performs either a tune-up or a tune-down procedure based on the number of cycles counted in which the sampled battery voltage is not equal to the nominal battery voltage for more than one half of a total number of cycles counted.

Apparatus, system, and method to adaptively optimize power dissipation and broadcast power in a power source for a communication device

Various aspects of the present invention enable robust, reliable control functionality for effectors present on intraluminal, e.g., vascular leads, as well as other types of implantable devices. Aspects of the invention include implantable integrated circuits that have self-referencing and self-clocking signal encoding, and are capable of bidirectional communication. Also provided by the invention are effector assemblies that include the integrated circuits, as well as implantable medical devices, e.g., pulse generators that include the same, as well as systems and kits thereof and methods of using the same, e.g., in pacing applications, including cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) applications.

Self-referencing communication in implantable devices

Low voltage oscillators that provide a stable output frequency with varying supply voltage are provided. The subject oscillators find use in a variety of different types of devices, e.g., medical devices, including both implantable and ex-vivo devices.
