Title: Regulating and monitoring electrical output of a micro-current therapy device
Inventor: ELLIOTT CHARLES RICHARD
IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 2008-11-20
Abstract: The current and/or voltages of a train of electrical pulses supplied by generator 206 to electrodes 103 contacting tissue is measured by a control unit 202 of the therapy device. (fig. 2 shows general arrangement) Preferably the output current is in the range of 0 to 1000 micro Ampares. Any difference between the measured pulse and the pulse demanded is detected so that in addition to regulating the current of the pulse, faults can be detected and a warning indication given such as a sound or light. The systems may compare each pulse to various thresholds Vt, to detect if the current X of a measured pulse 302 is dropping compared to the demanded pulse 301. A fault may be indicated if a number of pulses within a set time crossing a threshold is larger than a set number or if a set number of consecutive pulses have crossed a threshold. The drop in current towards the end of a pulse may indicate a large impedance and thus incorrectly connected electrodes or electrodes with poor contact with tissue being treated.

Title: Cascode switching power amplifier
Inventor: LEE OCKGOO
IPC: H03F1/22
Filed: 2008-12-31
Abstract: A power amplifier includes a common-source device such as CMOS transistor 202 whose gate is connected to an input port 201 and is cascode connected from its drain to the source of a common-gate device 208 whose drain is connected to an output port. The body 206 of the common source device is connected to its source 205 and the body 21 of the common gate device is connected to its source 211. The amplifier may be a class-E radio frequency (RF) amplifier and further comprise a load network 215 including series connected resistive, inductive and capacitive components (fig 3, 315) at the output port to provide a switching operation. An impedance transformer 216 may match the output impedance to that of a load such as a switch, a multiplexer, a filter or an antenna. During a power amplifier OFF state AC current flows through the output capacitance of the common source device (fig 4, 403), which is the sum of its drain-to-body capacitance and the gate-to source capacitance of the common gate device, and the output capacitance of the common gate device (fig 4, 406), which is its gate to body capacitance. Leakage current may be minimised by placing the source of common gate device 208 at a higher voltage than its gate voltage less its threshold voltage.
