Modern biomedical implantable devices provide an increasingly popular solution for health monitoring and medical issues. Their level of development in the coming years will depend on their reliability and endurance. Their powering and recharging capabilities are key factors for their dominance. In this work, series compensation topologies for use in inductive chargers of biomedical implantable devices are investigated with regard to their performance. The goal is to assess the possibility of reducing the component count of the implantable device and thus, increase its reliability and patient safety. Comparison is performed between the commonly used series-series compensation topology with a topology which incorporates no capacitors in the secondary side but only series compensation in the primary. Extensive investigation of the operation of the two topologies is made through mathematical analysis, simulations, and experimental evaluation, for the most popular schemes of operation, with regard to frequency selection. A prototype inductive charger, including a custom-made inductive link, was designed and built for the experimental evaluation of the system. Insights on the operation of both topologies are provided and the results show that primary-side series compensation can be a strong alternative to series-series compensation, in biomedical applications.

It is necessary to develop a high homogeneous, low power consumption, high frequency and small-size shim coil for high precision and low-cost atomic spin gyroscope (ASG). To provide the shim coil, a multi-objective optimization design method is proposed. All structural parameters including the wire diameter are optimized. In addition to the homogeneity, the size of optimized coil, especially the axial position and winding number, is restricted to develop the small-size shim coil with low power consumption. The 0-1 linear programming is adopted in the optimal model to conveniently describe winding distributions. The branch and bound algorithm is used to solve this model. Theoretical optimization results show that the homogeneity of the optimized shim coil is several orders of magnitudes better than the same-size solenoid. A simulation experiment is also conducted. Experimental results show that optimization results are verified, and power consumption of the optimized coil is about half of the solenoid when providing the same uniform magnetic field. This indicates that the proposed optimal method is feasible to develop shim coil for ASG.
