Abstract:
1. An implantable component of a medical device comprising: a first coil including one or more windings each defining a generally circular area having a diameter, wherein when the windings are positioned substantially parallel to one another the first coil has a length along an axis through the center of the circular areas, and wherein the diameter of the circular area defined by the windings is greater than the length of the first coil; and a second coil including a plurality of windings each defining generally circular area having a diameter, wherein when the windings are positioned substantially parallel to one another the second coil has a length along an axis through the center of the circular areas, and wherein the diameters of the circular area defined by each of the plurality of windings is smaller than the length of the second coil, wherein at least one of the one or more windings of the first coil is substantially orthogonal to at least one of the windings of the second coil; wherein the second coil has a bent configuration substantially following the curvature of the first coil.
