This paper discusses some of the advances and limitations of the field of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and why the field has difficulty in achieving its promise whenever many wires are used throughout the body. We take the stand that the great time for FES will be when the stimulators and sensors are injectable and wireless and thus make it feasible to have many stimulation/sensing locations...
The wireless electronic nervous system interface known as the functional electrical stimulation-battery powered bionreg system is being developed at the Alfred Mann Foundation. It contains a real-time propagated wave micro-powered multichannel communication system. This system is designed to send bi-directional messages between an external master controller unit (MCU), and each one of a group of injectable...
The Alfred Mann Foundation is developing a network of up to 850 injectable devices that have stimulating, sensing and communication capabilities. Each of the devices is coordinated via radio signals a hundred times a second by an external small module. All the devices are powered by lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The stimulating, sensing, and communication circuits are designed to be highly power...
The Alfred Mann Foundation is completing development of a coordinated network of BION/spl reg/ microstimulator/sensor (hereinafter implant) that has broad stimulating, sensing and communication capabilities. The network consists of a master control unit (MCU) in communication with a group of BION implants. Each implant is powered by a custom lithium-ion rechargeable 10 mW-hr battery. The charging,...
