An external module is mounted to a person and transmits energy in the light spectrum through the skin to an internal module which converts it to d.c. current with a film photocell (Figure 1). The d.c. current can be used to charge batteries for powering an implant without a break in the skin and to power an implant directly. Light signals can also be transmitted through the skin from an internal module to the external module to monitor implants, battery charging equipment, batteries and patient functions. Control signals can be transmitted from the external module to the internal module. The energy may be in the wavelength range of 1x10-4to 1x10-9 meters and preferably in the wavelength range of 4x10-7 to 8x10-7 meters.

Cette invention concerne un module externe monté à même le corps transmettant de l'énergie dans le spectre lumineux à travers la peau à un module interne qui convertit ladite énergie en courant continu via un film récepteur photoélectrique. Le courant continu peut être utilisé pour charger sans effraction des batteries alimentant un implant ou pour alimenter directement un implant. Des signaux lumineux peuvent être transmis à travers la peau d'un module interne à un module externe dans le but de surveiller des implants, un dispositif de chargement de batteries, des batteries ou des fonctions du patient. Des signaux de commande peuvent être transmis du module externe au module interne. L'énergie peut se situer dans la plage de longueurs d'onde de 1x10-4à1x10-9 mètres, et de préférence dans la plage de 4x10-7 à 8x10-7 mètres.
