TL;DR: This paper presents a feedback-loop technique for analyzing and designing RF power links for transcutaneous bionic systems, i.e., between an external RF coil and an internal RF coil implanted inside the body, and proposes an optimal loading condition that maximizes the energy efficiency of the link.

TL;DR: A programmable analog bionic ear (cochlear implant) processor in a 1.5-/spl mu/m BiCMOS technology with a power consumption that is lower than state-of-the-art analog-to-digital (A/D)-then-DSP designs by a factor of 25 and robust operation of the processor in the high-RF-noise environment typical of cochlear implants systems.

TL;DR: This paper presents work on ultra-low-power circuits for brain–machine interfaces with applications for paralysis prosthetics, stroke, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, prosthetics for the blind, and experimental neuroscience systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a 75-dB 2.8-/spl mu/W 100-Hz-10-kHz envelope detector was proposed for low-power bionic implants for the deaf, hearing aids, and speech recognition front-ends.

TL;DR: In this article, a 75 dB 251 /spl mu/W analog speech processor is described that preserves the performance, robustness, and programmability needed for deaf patients at a reduced power consumption compared to that of implementations with A/D and DSP.
