摘要:The invention is directed to elements implantable in a human body, such assensors, that receive power from an implantable motion-powered energy source. Themotion-powered energy source generates electrical energy by converting mechanicalenergy in the form of motion into electrical energy. The electrical energy, which may be
stored in a storage element, powers the element. The motion-powered energy sourcemay include a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer that generateselectrical energy in response to motion. In one embodiment of the invention, a motion-powered energy source disposed proximate to a heart may convert some of themechanical energy of the heart to electrical energy, which powers the element.
