Abstract
A telemetry system for use in a living tissue stimulator system in which an externally located oscillator is controlled by impedance changes in an impedance reflecting circuit located in an implantable tissue stimulator. In a first embodiment the impedance reflecting circuit is an LC circuit thereby frequency modulating the externally located oscillator and in a second embodiment it is an LR circuit thereby amplitude modulating the externally located oscillator. More specifically, the externally located oscillator drives an LC circuit in which the inductor is positioned in magnetically coupled relationship to an inductor in the impedance reflecting circuit. The externally located oscillator is chosen so that its frequency and amplitude is partially determined by the impedance of the LC circuit and the magnetically coupled impedance reflecting circuit. A parameter or signal to be telemetered, which could be in the form of a digital or an analog signal, is used to modulate an output frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator located in the implantable tissue stimulator. This frequency modulated output of the voltage controlled oscillator drives an FET switch which alters the impedance of the impedance reflecting circuit, thereby modulating the output of the externally located oscillator. Thus, a telemetry system is provided in which minimum power is required from the implantable tissue stimulator.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
