NON-INTRUSION TYPE CHARGING SYSTEM FOR ARTIFICIAL ORGAN, CAPACITOR AND POWER SUPPLYING DEVICE USED IN THE SYSTEM
DRIVE
March 9, 2005
According a charging system of this invention, an AC required for charging of an electric double layer capacitor of a storage device in the body may be transmitted from a feeding device outside the body through power receiving and power transmitting coils. The electric double layer capacitor may be charged in a contactless mode, without incising the body of the artificial organ user, while the storage device remains embedded in the body. The electric double layer capacitor may be charged reliably by avoiding a shortage of charging since the charge status of the electric double layer capacitor of the storage device is known during a charging operation.
