Definitions

  • Neural modulation includes inhibition (e.g., blockage), stimulation, modification, regulation, or therapeutic alteration of activity, electrical or chemical, in the central, peripheral, or autonomic nervous system.
  • inhibition e.g., blockage
  • stimulation e.g., modification, regulation, or therapeutic alteration of activity, electrical or chemical, in the central, peripheral, or autonomic nervous system.
  • Motor neurons may be stimulated at appropriate times to cause muscle contractions.
  • Sensory neurons may be blocked, for instance to relieve pain, or stimulated, for instance to provide a signal to a subject
  • modulation of the autonomic nervous system may be used to adjust various involuntary physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood pressure.
  • OSA obstructive sleep apnea
  • OSA is a respiratory disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep.
  • the pharyngeal muscles relax during sleep and gradually collapse, narrowing the airway.
  • the airway narrowing limits the effectiveness of the sleeper's breathing, causing a rise in C0 2 levels in the blood.
  • the increase in CO 2 results in the pharyngeal muscles contracting to open the airway to restore proper breathing.
  • vasodilation/vasoconstriction Conversely, parasympathetic nerve fibers on and around the renal arteries generate signals that are carried to the kidneys to initiate actions, such as salt retention and the release of angiotensin, which raise blood pressure. Modulating these nerves may provide the ability to exert some external control over blood pressure.
  • Fig, 5 is a diagrammatic top view of an alternate embodiment of an implant unit.
  • both external unit 120 and implant unit 110 may include an antenna.
  • the antenna of the external unit e.g., primary antenna 150
  • the antenna of the implant unit e.g., secondary antenna 152
  • the antenna may have any suitable size, shape, and/or configuration.
  • the number of antennas, their size, shape, and/or configuration may be determined by the size of the patient, the placement location of the implant unit, the size and/or shape of the implant unit, the amount of energy required to modulate a nerve, a location of a nerve to be modulated, the type of receiving electronics present on the implant unit, etc.
  • the implantable unit may additionally include at least one component associated with the carrier for receiving energy from the implantable circuit, !n some embodiments the at least one component may include a pair of modulation electrodes (e.g., implant electrodes 158a and 158b).

  • Implant electrodes 158a and 158b may also include any suitable conductive material (e.g., copper, silver, gold, platinum, iridium, plafinum- iridium, platinum-gold, conductive polymers, etc.) or combinations of conductive (and/or noble metals) materials.
  • the electrodes may include short line electrodes, circular electrodes, and/or circular pairs of electrodes.
  • electrodes 158a and 158b may be located on an end of a first extension 162a of an elongate arm 162.

  • Implant electrodes may have a thickness between about 200 nanometers and 1 miliimeter.

Adjacent anodes or adjacent cathodes may be spaced apart by distances as small as 0.001 mm or less, or as great as 25 mm or more. In some embodiments, adjacent anodes or adjacent cathodes may be spaced apart by a distance between about 0.2 mm and 1 mm.
  • external unit 120 may communicate (e.g., transmit) a primary signal from primary antenna 150 to secondary antenna 152 of implant unit 110. This communication may result from coupling between primary antenna 150 and secondary antenna 152.
  • Such coupling of the primary antenna and the secondary antenna may include any interaction between the primary antenna and the secondary antenna that causes a signal on the secondary antenna in response to a signal applied to the primary antenna.
  • the coupling between the primary and secondary antennas may include capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, radio frequency coupling and any combinations thereof.
  • the capacitance of the implantable circuit of the implant unit may be adjusted through the addition and/or adjustment of one or more trimming capacitors prior to encapsulation.
  • the amount of adjustment may depend on an expected amount of resonant frequency drift after the implant unit is placed in the body.
  • the resonant frequency of the implant unit may be set, for example, by adjusting a capacitance associated with the implantable circuit.
  • a capacitor associated with the implantable circuit may be adjusted ⁇ e.g, laser trimmed) to an particular capacitance value before insertion into imp!ant circuitry.
  • a single capacitor associated with a switch or a processor-selectable capacitance value may enable the processor to select between at least two different values of the resonant frequency.
  • the external unit may include a bank of a plurality of capacitors (e.g., 4, 6, 12, or more), enabling the processor to select a capacitance based on combinations of capacitors, A bank of six capacitors, for example, would yield 64 different capacitance combinations and, in theory, a similar number of resonant frequency values.
  • the processor may be configured to use more or less than ail of the available capacitors for adjusting the circuitry or for testing for resonant frequency mismatch, etc.
  • capacitors included in a plurality of capacitors available to the processor may each include the same capacitance value or may include various different values.

  • Inductances 1660 may be provided at least partially by primary antenna 150.
  • Processor 144 may also adjust a driving frequency of the H bridge switches 1620 in order to generate a signal of a frequency that matches the resonant frequency of self-resonant circuit 1610. By selectively opening and closing switches 620 appropriately, the DC signal of supply voltage 1650 may be converted into a square wave of a selected frequency. This frequency may be selected to match the resonant frequency of self-resonant circuit 1610 in order to increase the efficiency of the circuit.
  • processor 144 may be able to determine a particular degree of coupling between primary antenna 150 and secondary antenna 152, at any given time, by observing the magnitude and/or rate of change in the magnitude of the current associated with the primary-coupled-signal on primary antenna 150.
