ANTENNA MANDREL WITH MULTIPLE ANTENNAS

摘要

Antennas and antenna mandrels or assemblies may be designed and configured to enable one of one- or two-way communication and/or power transfer with mechanical devices such as ophthalmic devices, including contact lenses. These antennas and antenna mandrels or assemblies may be utilized to transmit data from the mechanical devices to receive data from a transmitter, and/or inductively charge an electromechanical cell or the like incorporated into a mechanical device.

主权项

1. An antenna array for electrically coupling with at least one sub-millimeter-sized antenna embedded in a biomedical device, the antenna array comprising:
a base; a first substrate supported by the base, wherein the first substrate has a first shape configured to interface with a biomedical device having one or more shapes, one of which is complimentary to the first shape; and one or more arrays of isolated, submillimeter-sized antennas configured to provide optimized near-field coupling between at least one of the isolated, submillimeter-sized antennas in the array and at least one submillimeter-sized antenna in the biomedical device, wherein at least one of the array of isolated, submillimeter-sized antennas and the biomedical device are movable relative to each other.
