    摘要: A device including an integrated circuit, a partial power source, including first and second materials associated with the integrated circuit is disclosed. The first and second materials are configured to provide a voltage potential difference when in contact with a conductive fluid to power up the device. A signal amplification element secured around the integrated circuit relative to the first and second materials is configured to facilitate extension of a current flow path between the first and second materials. A modulator is configured to control conductance between the first and second materials to generate a detectable signal that is partially defined by the current flow extending through the conductive fluid. A communication module is coupled to the partial power source and is configured to communicate with a receiver and an antenna electrically coupled to the communication module, which uses the antenna to communicate with the receiver.

    摘要: A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) that may be placed within a living animal (e.g., a human) and may be used to measure an analyte (e.g., glucose or oxygen) in a medium (e.g., interstitial fluid) within the animal. The sensor may include a sensor housing and a polymer graft including indicator molecules and covering at least a portion of the sensor housing. The opacity of the polymer graft may remain substantially the same (i.e., may have little or no variation) over time. The sensor may include a photodetector, and variation in the opacity of the polymer graft does not cause a significant change in a measurement signal output by the photodetector. The polymer hydrogel may be made of polymers including acrylic acid and/or polyethylene glycol.

    摘要: Devices and a system for detection of blood within in-vivo fluids are provided. A device comprises a housing that includes a gap. The gap has at least one opening through which in-vivo fluids may enter and/or exit the gap. The device further comprises an illumination source for illuminating the in-vivo fluids in the gap, a light detector for detecting light which passes through the in-vivo fluids in the gap, and flexible fins disposed on the housing in the vicinity of the gap's opening for covering the opening when the fins are folded and for pumping fluids into and out of the opening by repeated closure and opening of the opening by the fins, due to repeated peristaltic waves. This pumping effect may lead to continuous flow of fluids into and out of the opening and thus into and out of the gap of the device.
