Inventor: FROST DAMIEN
IPC: H02M7/483
Filed: 2018-02-01
Abstract: A smart cell, comprising: a positive terminal; a negative terminal; a switching circuit which is arranged to select between a first switching state in which an energy storage device is connected between the positive terminal and the negative terminal and a second switching state which bypasses said energy storage device; an inductor provided between the positive terminal and the output of the switching network; and a controller arranged to monitor the voltage across the inductor and arranged to control a duty cycle of the switching circuit based on the magnitudes of voltage changes detected across the inductor. By monitoring and analysing the magnitude of voltage changes across the inductor, the controller determines the states of charge of other series connected smart cells without any communication between cells. None of the smart cells need to transmit information on their states of charge to other smart cells in the string as each cell can sense information about the other cells from the voltage changes on the inductor. By analysing the voltage across the local sense inductor, the average state of charge of a series string of smart cells can be obtained and compared to the state of charge of the local smart cell to determine how the duty cycle of the local smart cell should be modified to synchronize its state of charge with the series string. The magnitude of the voltage change across the inductor is related to the state of charge of the cell that just switched in or out of the string.

Abstract: A system and method for locating a target nerve associated with a facet joint via nerve stimulation and monitoring of electrical muscle activity in a multifidus muscle adjacent the target nerve are described. The system includes a probe housed within a cannula and comprising a probe electrode; a recording electrode for monitoring electrical muscle activity in a medial fascicle of the multifidus muscle; a signal generator; and a controller coupled to the probe electrode and recording electrode. The controller delivers a nerve stimulation from the signal generator to the nerve via the probe electrode and monitors electrical muscle activity in the medial fascicle via the recording electrode. The probe's proximity to the nerve is determined by the electrical muscle activity in the medial fascicle elicited as a result of the nerve stimulation, where the controller provides feedback to a user to guide placement of the probe adjacent the nerve.
