A subcutaneous device that includes an electronics-containing housing and a clip configured to anchor the device to an internal structural body component of a patient is injected and anchored to the structural body component. An instrument pre-loaded with the device is caused to be inserted through an incision in the patient and advanced to the structural body component. A pushing force is received on the instrument that causes the clip of the device to be pushed onto the structural body component so that the structural body component is located in a sandwiching region between a top portion of the clip and the housing of the device. Force is applied to the structural body component between the top portion of the clip and the housing of the device to anchor the device to the structural body component.

Method of injecting subcutaneous device

A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a bone, and an electrode that is configured to contact an organ. The clip includes a top portion that is rigid, a bottom portion that is rigid, and an intermediate portion between the top portion and the bottom portion that is configured to permit movement of the top portion with respect to the bottom portion and thereby apply force onto the bone between the top portion and the bottom portion.

Subcutaneous device

A subcutaneously implantable device is implantable into a body of a patient, and includes a prong and an electrode. The prong has a contact portion at or adjacent to a distal end thereof that is configured to contact an organ. The prong is constructed to apply pressure to the organ with spring action so as to maintain contact between the contact portion and the organ without fixing the contact portion to the organ. The electrode is provided at the contact portion of the prong, is configured to contact the organ, and is electrically coupled or couplable with circuitry that is configured to provide monitoring, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic capabilities with respect to the organ.

Resilient body component contact for a subcutaneous device

A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to a top side of the housing, a first prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing, and a first electrode on the first prong. The clip is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a tissue. The first prong is configured to contact a heart. The first electrode is configured to contact the heart. Sensing circuitry in the housing that is configured to sense an electrical signal from the heart, and therapeutic circuitry in the housing is in electrical communication with the first electrode and is configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart through the first electrode.

Subcutaneous device for monitoring and/or providing therapies

A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to the housing, and an electrode. The clip is configured to move between an open position and a closed position to increase or decrease an opening between the housing and the clip to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue. The electrode is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue. Circuitry in the housing is in electrical communication with the electrode and is configured to provide monitoring, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic capabilities with respect to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue.

Clip design for a subcutaneous device

Apparatus and associated methods relate to facilitating a remote internet-connected device to configure an implantable biomedical device. Such configuration of the implantable biomedical device involves hosting a virtual image of the implantable biomedical device at an IP-addressable internet site associated therewith. This virtual image is updated based on configuration data received from the remote internet-connected device via the internet. configuration data for the implantable biomedical device at the IP-addressable internet site. The safety of such an updated implantable medical device is validated based on the updated virtual image. The configuration data is then transmitted from the IP-addressable internet site via the internet to the implantable biomedical device, in response to the safety of the implantable biomedical device being validated.

Secure communications between an implantable biomedical device and authorized parties over the internet

A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a first prong, and a second prong. A first electrode on the first prong is configured to contact the first lung. A second electrode on the device is configured to contact the first lung or a second lung. A third electrode on the second prong is configured to contact the heart or the tissue surrounding the heart. Sensing circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode is configured to measure an impedance in the first lung and/or the second lung, and/or a transthoracic impedance across the first lung and the second lung through the first electrode and the second electrode, and to measure an electrical signal from the heart through the third electrode.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to providing secure gatekeeping of communication from a remote internet-based website having an Internet-Protocol (IP) address to an implantable biomedical device. A gatekeeping device receives the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website. The communication received is encoded using a first encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device decodes the communication received. The gatekeeping device then encodes the communication decoded using a second encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device wirelessly relays the communication encoded using the second encoding algorithm to the implantable biomedical device. In some embodiments, the gatekeeping device compares the IP address of the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website with a predetermined static IP address corresponding to the implantable biomedical device and rejects the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website if the IP address is not that of the predetermined static IP address corresponding to the implantable biomedical device.

Application and associated methods relate to facilitating verification of authenticity of a product instance. Such verification of authenticity is facilitated by a verification transceiver configured to be affixed to a product instance. The verification transceiver includes an engagement fixture configured to affix the verification transceiver to a product instance. The verification transceiver includes a receiver configured to receive a query signal from a proximate mobile device. The verification transceiver includes a transmitter configured to transmit a current encoded signal indicative of the product instance in response to receiving the query signal. The verification transceiver also includes a verification-code sequencer configured to advance the current encoded signal to a next encoded signal in a sequence of encoded signals, each of the sequence indicative of the product instance, current encoded signal advanced to be transmitted in response to a next received query signal.

Multi-dimensional approach to anti-counterfeiting across different industries

The present application discloses a method of displaying images on a vehicle. The method includes disclosing user information, including an image to be displayed, to an exchange application, transmitting the image to a controller configured to receive user information, instructing, by the controller, an electronic display to display the image to display the image to a viewer outside of the vehicle, and displaying the image, by the electronic display, to the viewer outside of the vehicle. The electronic display is disposed on or integrated into a window of the vehicle and configured to move in unison with the vehicle to display the image. The electronic display is configured to be transparent to a viewer inside of the vehicle. The controller is in communication with the electronic display.
