Background
Wireless power transmission for capsule robots has always posed challenges due to the unpredictable postures.
Methods
A radial transmitting coil with a novel ferrite structure is proposed, which consists of two parts with the function of converging magnetic induction lines and reducing magnetic leakage. To improve the flux density, uniformity, and shielding effectiveness, the design...
Background
The artificial anal sphincter (AAS) system has gained significant attention as a solution for treating fecal incontinence (FI). It relies on transcutaneous energy transfer (TET) as its primary energy source. However, changes in posture or biological tissue can cause misalignment of the coil, resulting in unstable power reception. Inadequate power affects charging efficiency, while excessive...
Background
Artificial anal sphincter is an implantable medical device for treating fecal incontinence. Reasonable simulation facilitates the advancement of research and reduces experiments on biological tissue. However, the device's clamping motion and sensor interaction with the intestine in the simulation still require further exploration. This article presents a simulation of the artificial anal...
