Abstract

Disclosed is a system for enhancing features of a living organism and further communicating the features with an external device. The system includes a flexible printed circuit implanted under the skin of a living organism and a host placed in proximity of the living organism for powering the flexible printed circuit implant wirelessly utilizing alternating charges. The living organism generates biological signals. The host further includes a memory unit connected to a controller for storing media data and operating instructions, a first electrode for emitting alternating charges with variable frequency, a second electrode floats against the ground; and an interface which wirelessly communicates with an external device. The flexible printed circuit includes a third electrode which mirrors said alternating charges received from the first electrode, and an energy convertor for changing the alternating charges to DC power. The flexible printed circuit includes a bi-directional communication unit to communicate signals with a modem for modulating and demodulating the generated modulated alternating frequency, and an analog I/O unit which processes biological signals received from the bi-directional communication unit. An electro-mechanic coupler enhances the biological signals, further the electro-mechanic coupler generates mechanical waves utilizing a fixed structure of said living organism. Further, the coupler converts mechanical waves into electrical signals and furthermore communicates the electrical signals containing processed biological signals with an analog I/O unit, and further the electro-mechanic coupler emits and receives alternating charges. Further, the analog I/O unit processes the electrical signals and communicates the information to the bi-directional communication unit.
