A new RFID/NFC (ISO 15693 standard) based inductively powered passive SoC (System on chip) for biomedical applications is presented here. The proposed SOC consists of an integrated 32 bit microcontroller, RFID/NFC frontend, sensor interface circuit, analog to digital converter and some peripherals such as timer, SPI interface and memory devices. An energy harvesting unit supplies the power required for the entire system for complete passive operation. The complete chip is realized on CMOS 0.18 μm technology with a chip area of 1.5 mm × 3.0 mm.
In this paper, a complete passive transponder device has been discussed which is meant to monitor leakage in silicone breast implants. The passive tag operates in the HF frequency range of 13.56MHz using RFID ISO 15693 standard. The complete system consists of the transponder, reader and a PC. This paper focusses on the development of such a state of the art passive RFID transponder to monitor the wellness of the silicone breast implants periodically in order to detect leakage in the same. Keyword: RFID (Radio frequency identification device), EM (Electromagnetic) field, Passive Transponder, Silicone breast implants.
This paper presents an enhancement on QPSK modulation technique for near field communication (NFC). The enhanced modulation is based on continuous-phase QPSK with Gaussian filtering during switch from one phase to the other. Signal processing is done digitally with minimum external discrete components for air interface. The telemetry system can be used to assist a smart capsule (slave) that can be swallowed to establish data communication with external device (master). The system is designed, simulated, and emulated on FPGA showing 20 dB attenuation on side-lobes of the spectrum.
A new miniaturized capsule with 32bit processor and bidirectional communication system is being developed for multitask application. The capsule is designed to be a platform for medical assistant application inside the body. The processor core SIRIUS has been developed, simulated, synthesized to a netlist and verified. The designed telemetry unit is a synchronous bidirectional communication block using continuous phase DQPSK of 115 kHz low carrier frequency for inductive data transmission suited for human body energy transfer. The communication system can assist the electronic pill to trigger an actuator for drug delivery, to record temperature, or to measure pH of the body. The complete system is designed to fit small-size mass medical application with low power consumption, size of 7x25 mm. The system is designed, simulated, emulated on FPGA, and routed in AMIS Technology.

Als Grenztaster und zur Erfassung kleinster Wege werden in der Industrie induktive Wegaufnehmer in Meßvorrichtungen eingesetzt. Die Verwendung diskret aufgebauter Elektronik verursacht hierbei neben erheblichem Raumbedarf auch unakzeptabel hohe Kosten. Daher entschloß man sich zur Entwicklung einer in den Aufnehmer integrierten Elektronik. Eine Prüfung der auf dem Markt angebotenen ICs deckt jedoch die Forderungen für diesen Anwendungsbereich nicht ab. Dieser Beitrag erläutert den Schaltungsentwurf und das Layout eines ASICs, der an der FH Offenburg für diesen Anwendungsbereich entwickelt wurde und befaßt sich besonders mit dem integrierten Vierquadranten-Multiplizierer.
Dieser Beitrag befaßt sich mit der optischen Meßtechnik, mit der man geometrische Dimensionen berührungslos und mit hoher Genauigkeit vermessen kann. Durch eine konkrete industrielle Aufgabenstellung angeregt, wurde im Labor für Optoelektronik der FH Offenburg eine einfache, aber universelle und PC-steuerbare Linear-CCD-Kamera entwickelt. Entscheidend für die Auslegung der Kamera ist die Auswahl des geeigneten Sensors.
Im Institut für angewandte Forschung (IAF) der FH Offenburg wird derzeit eine Chipkarte entwickelt, mit der Temperaturzeitreihen über längere Zeiträume aufgezeichnet werden können. Die zur Datenerfassung erforderlichen Systemkomponenten sind auf nur einem Halbleiterchip zusammengefaßt, wodurch sich bei großen Produktionsstückzahlen ein sehr niedriger Herstellpreis erzielen läßt. Die 'Thermologger' genannte Chipkarte kann zudem mit Standard-Chipkartenlesern und einer dedizierten Software auf jedem PC konfiguriert, gelesen und ausgewertet werden.
The authors present an abiotically catalyzed glucose fuel cell and demonstrate its application as energy harvesting power source for a cardiac pacemaker. This is enabled by an optimized DC-DC converter operating at 40 % conversion efficiency, which surpasses commercial low-power DC-DC converters. The required fuel cell surface area can thus be reduced from about 125 cm2 to 18 cm2, which would allow for its direct integration onto the pacemaker casing.
