Electronic implants: New fast battery Recharger and invasive transdermal energy feeder

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths. In a last resource, patients with cardiovascular disease should be assisted through the surgery and medical devices, to help them to perform the essential functions. However, medical devices, such as a pacemaker that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain an adequate heart rate and rhythm, you need a power source and the battery ran out just demanded a surgical procedure that is similar to the original implant to replace the device.

With non-invasive battery recharger for electronic cardiac implants the need for a new surgery is reduced, since this primes from being rechargeable, meaning the patient will not have to throw away after changing batteries every five to seven years, since these are rechargeable by irradiant electricity passing through the body. António Abreu adds that "the non-invasive battery also allows for an adjustment of energy consumption of heart implants, so energy consumption can be set to adjust the function and pathology patients and activity. Ensure the power supply of a communication channel between the exterior for diagnosis and/or reprogramming of the implant. In this case, there will be no demand for energy from the internal battery. "

The principle of operation is the use of a high efficient transdermal system power. However, these typically use electronic converter systems witch create risk of Electromagnetic interference (EMI) that harms the implants in patients. The presentation of innovative ideas that take account of energy efficiency in electrical transmission systems without ferromagnetic cores, and about the medical application. In practice, eliminating the phenomena of Gibbs.

The invention optimizes the flow of energy that is determined by the status of the Explorer Preview in innovative design abacus to forecast-correction.

The abacus is a prediction-correction representation in the complex pattern of a situation where a specific cargo is provided by an electric energy to the active power p and reactive power Q. What characterizes this abacus is the occasion of taking into account the effect of the reaction and resistance of the longitudinal transmission lines that are evident in the number of corner parts position lines that proliferate in first and second quarters of the Argand plan. The best location of the lines sections defines the maximum power transfer without electromagnetic interference.

The original, patented by António Abreu in the USA and in Europe, with the collaboration and support of the PRIME programme (Incentive Program for the modernization of the economy) and approved by the European Commission, originally designed for application of pacemakers, but at this time, and according to medical progress, became new improved techniques to be suitable for high-power (and high voltages too) devicessuch defibrillators, electric heart, insulin pumps or other implantable prosthesis.

In addition, the same principle that allows providing lower power voltages can be applied to improve the electric high power transmission and distribution systems (mains) to reduce costs due to the electrical consumer consumption, according to the results obtained.
