Abstract

Power is transmitted to an implanted receiving coil oriented such that an axis of the receiving coil is parallel to skin of a subject. A transmitting coil is in a housing, which is placed against the skin. A central axis of the transmitting coil is perpendicular to the skin. A portion of the transmitting coil is over the receiving coil. A first distance, from the axis of the transmitting coil to a center of the receiving coil, is greater than a second distance, from the axis of the transmitting coil to an inner edge of the portion of the transmitting coil. The first distance is less than a third distance, from the axis of the transmitting coil to an outer edge of the portion of the transmitting coil. Circuitry powers the implant by driving current through the transmitting coil that induces current in the receiving coil.

Claims (38)

1 . A method for transmitting power to a medical implant that comprises a receiving coil that is oriented such that a central longitudinal axis of the receiving coil is substantially parallel to skin of a subject, the method comprising:

providing a transmitting coil disposed in a housing;

placing the housing against and on top of the skin such that:

(a) a central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil is substantially perpendicular to the skin,

(b) a portion of the transmitting coil is disposed over the receiving coil,

(c) a first distance, from the central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil to a longitudinal center of the receiving coil, is greater than a second distance, from the central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil to an inner edge of the portion of the transmitting coil, and

(d) the first distance is less than a third distance, from the central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil to an outer edge of the portion of the transmitting coil; and

activating control circuitry to power the medical implant by driving a current through the transmitting coil that induces an induced current in the receiving coil.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises identifying the subject as suffering from migraines or cluster headaches, and in response to the identifying, placing the housing on a leg of a subject such that:

(a) the transmitting coil is disposed between a knee and an angle of the leg, and

(b) the transmitting coil transmits power to a medical implant configured to stimulate a tibial nerve in the leg of the subject.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing on a leg of the subject such that:

(a) the transmitting coil is disposed between a knee and an ankle of the leg, and

(b) (i) a portion of the transmitting coil that is disposed over the receiving coil is closer to the ankle than (ii) a portion of the transmitting coil that is disposed at 180 degrees from the portion of the transmitting coil that is disposed over the receiving coil, is to the ankle.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing such that the first distance is 15-45 mm.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing such that the second distance is less than 30 mm.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing such that the third distance is 40-60 mm.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing such that a difference between the third distance and the second distance is 30-40 mm.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein a ratio of (a) a difference between the third distance and the second distance, to (b) a longitudinal length of the receiving coil is greater than 0.5.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein a ratio of (a) a difference between the third distance and the second distance, to (b) a longitudinal length of the receiving coil is less than 1.5.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein a ratio of (a) a difference between the third distance and the second distance, to (b) a longitudinal length of the receiving coil is between 0.5 and 1.5.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein:

(a) a height of the transmitting coil measured along a longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil is 300-600 microns,

(b) an outer diameter of the transmitting coil is 100-140 mm, and

(c) a ratio of the outer diameter of the transmitting coil to the height of the transmitting coil is at least 150.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing such that the transmitting coil is over a receiving coil, wherein:

(a) a longitudinal length of the receiving coil is 3-15 mm,

(b) an outer diameter of the receiving coil is 0.6-1.5 mm, and

(c) a ratio of the outer diameter of the receiving coil to the longitudinal length of the receiving coil is less than 0.5.

13 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing against the skin and subsequently sliding it along the skin until an indicator, coupled to the housing, indicates that the transmitting coil is in an acceptable position with respect to the receiving coil.

14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein a cross-sectional area of a wire of the transmitting coil is rectangular, wherein the cross-section is taken perpendicular to a direction of current flow within the wire.

15 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein placing comprises placing the housing against the skin such that the transmitting coil is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the receiving coil.

16 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a planar coil disposed in a housing.

17 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the transmitting coil comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein an average distance from a wire of the transmitting coil to the central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil is less than two times a square root of a cross-sectional area of a central non-coiled region of the transmitting coil.

18 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein providing the planar coil comprises providing a planar coil comprising a plurality of layers.

19 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein providing comprises providing a transmitting coil wherein an average distance from the wire of the transmitting coil to the central longitudinal axis of the transmitting coil is 0.6-1.5 times the square root of the cross-sectional area of the central non-coiled region of the transmitting coil.

20 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein providing the planar coil comprises providing a planar coil with a line spacing, of adjacent coplanar wires, of 0.25-3 mm.

21 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein providing the planar coil comprises providing a planar coil with a line width of 1-4 mm.
