Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided which, even when the electronic apparatus configuring a node is implanted in the body of an object animal, makes the object animal hard to feel stress and can acquire effective data about the natural behavior and state of the object animal. As shown in FIG. 12 , a module unit and a battery are arranged separated from each other. That is, an electronic apparatus according to the present embodiment 1 adopts a case including a first capacity part and a second capacity part both arranged separated from each other to thereby accommodate the module unit in an internal space of the first capacity part and accommodate the battery in an internal space of the second capacity part.

Claims (53)

1. An electronic apparatus functioning as a component of a wireless communication system, the electronic apparatus comprising:

a sealed case including:

a first capacity part including a first space;

a second capacity part, in a plan view, provided away from the first capacity part and including a second space;

a coupling part which couples the first capacity part and the second capacity part,

the electronic apparatus including a module unit accommodated in the first space of the first capacity part, and a battery accommodated in the second space of the second capacity part,

the coupling part including a wiring which electrically couples the module unit and the battery, and

the module unit including a sensor which detects a physical quantity, and a radio communication unit which transmits data based on an output signal from the sensor; and

a temperature sensor electrically coupled to the module unit, in the plan view, the temperature sensor being located outside of the first capacity part, the second capacity part, and the coupling part.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the case comprises a biocompatible material.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first capacity part and the second capacity part respectively comprise a biocompatible material, and

wherein the coupling part comprises the wiring coated with a biocompatible material.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a reinforcing adhesive comprising a biocompatible material is provided at a coupling part of the first capacity part and the coupling part.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first capacity part and the second capacity part respectively comprise a biocompatible material,

wherein the coupling part includes a third capacity part including a third space,

wherein the third capacity part comprises a biocompatible material, and

wherein the wiring is accommodated in the third space of the third capacity part.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the third capacity part is provided with a pair of projection parts which projects toward the third space relative to each other, and

wherein the wiring is sandwiched by the pair of projection parts.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein a curved shape is formed at a coupling part of the first capacity part and the third capacity part.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a coating film comprising a biocompatible material is formed over a surface of the case.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor which detects the physical quantity is fixed to the first capacity part.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further including an antenna unit,

wherein the antenna unit is provided at a position not to overlap with the sensor which detects the physical quantity in the plan view.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the case includes a flat surface which is flat over the first capacity part, the coupling part, and the second capacity part.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor which detects the physical quantity includes an acceleration sensor.

13. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the case comprises a silicone resin.

14. An electronic apparatus functioning as a component of a wireless communication system, the electronic apparatus comprising:

a sealed case including:

a first capacity part including a first space;

a second capacity part provided away from the first capacity part and including a second space;

a coupling part which couples the first capacity part and the second capacity part,

the electronic apparatus including a module unit accommodated in the first space of the first capacity part, and a battery accommodated in the second space of the second capacity part,

the coupling part including a wiring which electrically couples the module unit and the battery, and

the module unit including a sensor which detects a physical quantity, and a radio communication unit which transmits data based on an output signal from the sensor; and

a temperature sensor electrically coupled to the module unit,

wherein the temperature sensor is coated with a biocompatible material.

15. The electronic apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein a reinforcing adhesive comprising a biocompatible material is provided at a coupling part of the first capacity part and the temperature sensor.

16. An electronic apparatus functioning as a component of a wireless communication system the electronic apparatus comprising:

a sealed case including:

a first capacity part including a first space;

a second capacity part provided away from the first capacity part and including a second space;

a coupling part which couples the first capacity part and the second capacity part,

the electronic apparatus including a module unit accommodated in the first space of the first capacity part, and a battery accommodated in the second space of the second capacity part,

the coupling part including a wiring which electrically couples the module unit and battery, and

the module unit including a sensor which detects a physical quantity, and a radio communication unit which transmits data based on an output signal from the sensor;

a temperature sensor electrically coupled to the module unit; and

a third capacity part including a third space,

wherein the third capacity part comprises a biocompatible material, and

wherein the temperature sensor is accommodated in the third space of the third capacity part.

17. The electronic apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the third capacity part is provided with a pair of projection parts which projects toward the fourth space relative to each other, and

wherein the temperature sensor is sandwiched by the pair of projection parts.

18. The electronic apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein a curved shape is formed at a coupling part of the first capacity part and the third capacity part.
