  1. Supplying Power for Implantable Biosensors Introduction to Biosensors 16.441, 16.541 Group Members: Sujith Kana Jesse Vengren

  2. Abstract • Powering implantable biosensors is difficult. • Do not what to limit the subjects movement or impede them in anyway. • Want the power supply to last • Do not to want to constantly replacing them • Want it to be minimally invasive • Miniaturization is critical

  3. Background • Biosensors thou are fad in the current decade, they have been there since early 1970’s. • Powering up the biosensor was a challenge even in 1970’s • Earliest application was pace maker • Mercury-Zinc was powering the pacemaker • Nuclear fueled cells considered as an option!

  4. Energy Harvesting • Gathering energy from environment the device is in • Many different energy harvesting techniques: wind, solar, kinetic, thermal • Not every one is appropriate for implantable biosensors

  5. Kinetic Energy • Using the motion of the body to generate power. • Three types: Electromagnetic, Electrostatic, and Piezoelectric Electromagnetic • Uses the change in magnetic flux to create power • Generated by moving a coil through a magnetic field • Same Method used in watches

  6. Kinetic Energy Continued… Electrostatic • Uses variable capacitors • Changes in the distance between the plates to change either current or voltage Piezoelectric • By deforming piezoelectric material you can generate a voltage • Easy to create mechanical deformation

  7. Issues with Kinetic Energy • Moving parts wear out • Electrostatic requires preexisting Charge • For Piezoelectric need to be able to cause mechanical deformation

  8. Thermal Energy • Uses temperature difference to create voltage • Seebeck Effect: Voltage is generated due to a difference in temperature between two junctions of dissimilar metals • Many thermocouples in series to create thermopile

  9. Issues with Thermal Energy • Small change in temperature • A single thermocouple does not generate much energy • Size becomes and issue.

  10. Acoustic Power • Application of piezoelectric kinetic energy • Power by acoustic waves • Waves generated outside the body transmit power to implanted device • Antenna similar to speaker cone receives acoustic wave and deforms piezoelectric material

  11. Fuel Cell • Sir William Grove found it in 1839 • On chip power for microelectronics • Traditional Fuel cells vs Biological Fuel Cells • Powered by Sacccharomyces Cerevisiae

  12. Fuel Cell Continued…

  13. Issues of Biological fuel cells • Micro watts of power generation • Performance over time • Environmental conditions • Electrochemical contact of the micro-organism • Cost

  14. RF Power • Amplifier • Inductive Coupling • Rectifier • DC Regulator Figure 1: Simplified RF Powering System (ref 1)

  15. RF Power continued…

  16. Issues of RF power • Changes in coupling coefficient • Confined to lab • Heating of tissues • Dependence on patient compliance • Possible RF interference
