Wireless Powering of Implanted Bioelectronic Devices (A)
Electronic medical implants require a power source, such as an internal battery or external coaxially coupled magnetic induction coils, thus requiring a larger form factor and more invasive surgical implantation. Furthermore, internal power sources tend to have shorter service life the smaller they are and magnetic coils are hindered by low coupling...

Ultrasound Induced Cervical Ripening
Delayed cervical ripening may seriously jeopardize the health of the baby and/or mother and could lead to still birth. Current methods for softening the cervix (cervical ripening), primarily involve the use of drugs such as prostaglandins and oxytocin which may have undesirable side effects. Ultrasound energy is widely used in medical applications...
