Abstract:
An implantable neural stimulator method for modulating excitable tissue in a patient including: implanting a neural stimulator within the body of the patient such that one or more electrodes of the neural stimulator are positioned at a target site adjacent to or near excitable tissue; generating an input signal with a controller module located outside of, and spaced away from, the patient's body; transmitting the input signal to the neural stimulator through electrical radiative coupling; converting the input signal to electrical pulses within the neural stimulator; and applying the electrical pulses to the excitable tissue sufficient to modulate said excitable tissue.

Claim (Index 2):
A tissue stimulation system, comprising:\n a wireless tissue stimulator configured to be implanted within a body of a subject and adjacent a tissue within the body, the wireless tissue stimulator comprising a first antenna configured to receive, via electrical radiative coupling, an input signal carrying electrical energy, and the wireless tissue stimulator configured to:\n create one or more electrical pulses for stimulating the tissue using the electrical energy in the input signal, \n apply the one or more electrical pulses to the tissue, \n store energy from the electrical energy carried by the input signal on the wireless tissue stimulator, and \n transmit a feedback signal using the energy stored on the wireless tissue stimulator, the feedback signal indicating that a characteristic of the one or more electrical pulses has been limited to affect an electrical parameter at the tissue; \n a second antenna configured to be positioned external to the body of the subject, to send the input signal to the first antenna via electrical radiative coupling, and to receive the feedback signal from the wireless tissue stimulator; and a control module configured to monitor the feedback signal, the control module comprising one or more circuits configured to:\n generate the input signal and send the input signal to the second antenna, and \n attenuate the input signal based on the feedback signal to maintain the electrical parameter at the tissue below a threshold level.
