22 BACKGROUND
Prior art references disclose position location, tracking and communication
devices.
24 Exemplary prior art includes: U.S. Pat. 6,865,395, U.S. Pat.6,889,135, U.S.
Pat.
6,879,584, U.S. Pat. 6,876,859, U.S. Pat. 6,876,310 and U.S. Pat. 6,842,617.
From the
26 prior art it is known that it is often desired, and sometimes necessary, to
know the
position, that is, the location of a wireless user. For example, the US
Federal
28 Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered an enhanced emergency 911
(emergency 911 or enhanced emergency E-91 1) wireless service that requires
the
location of a wireless terminal (e.g., a cellular phone) to be provided to a
Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) each time a 911 call is made from the terminal. The

need for improved personal security and emergency response capability has been
2 documented in the prior art. In situations where an individual is injured,
lost, or
abducted, immediate notification of an emergency situation including location
of the
4 emergency to a local law enforcement or emergency response organization is
required to
maintain the safety of the individual and to mitigate or avoid severe and or
tragic
6 situations.
In addition to emergency situations, there is also a recognized need for
improved
8 personal healthcare and in particular patient monitor and other diagnostic
systems.
Patients are often confined in a fixed area to cabled (or tethered) monitoring
equipment.
An illustrative, cited prior art reference, published by Baisa, N.: "Designing
wireless
interfaces for patient monitoring equipment", RF Design Magazine April 2005,
highlights
12 that recent advances in wireless technologies now make it possible to free
patients from
their equipment, allowing greater freedom and even making possible monitoring
by their
14 health provider while the patient is on the go. The position of a wireless
terminal may be
estimated using various techniques including "range-domain" and "position-
domain"
16 techniques as well as other techniques and/or combined hybrid techniques.

SUMMARY AND NEED FOR THIS INVENTION
6 Multiuse wireless communication applications, having extended coverage,
improved
performance, seamless interoperability, high speed operation, enhanced
capacity,
8 multipurpose, multi functionality, multi-mode and multi -standard
interoperability
are highly desired. The current application discloses multiuse and or
multipurpose
applications, devices and systems, including systems for: position
determination, location
finding based services and applications, remote control, wireless, wired,
cabled, internet,
12 web based communication systems, communicator devices, radio frequency
identification
(RFID) systems with single or plurality of devices, emergency and other alarm
systems,
14 medical patient monitor-sensor devices, medical diagnostics devices,
fingerprint
identification, fingerprint control, interactive communication or control of
16 communications and control systems, communications, broadcasting,
teleinformatics and
telemetry systems.
18 Most multi-media and video services require bandwidths and or other
multiuse
capabilities that transcend the capabilities of currently operational second
generation 2G
and or third generation 3G cellular service providers. Hence, many wide
bandwidth
applications and services that are rapidly evolving, for example, on the
Internet, have not
22 to date readily and widely accessible cellular and cellular
interconnections to mobile
wireless users via wireless local area networks (WLAN) and/or other wideband
networks.
24 New systems and end user devices or units are being contemplated that
provide for or
include, respectively, high bandwidth short range networking capabilities,
using WLAN
26 technologies such as IEEE 802.x_ or Bluetooth. These links may allow mobile
handsets
to establish Internet attachments when they approach a network access point
(NAP).
28 These WLAN based systems may create an opportunity for these untethered
devices to
enjoy high bandwidth services, once reserved for fixed devices. However, the
WLAN
systems only provide short range coverage, are not widely deployed, or do not
provide
for user mobility and hence are not generally suitable of providing enhanced
services for

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
mobile users over a wide area. It is desirable to develop multiuse, multi-mode
, multi
2 standard interoperable technologies which integrate the capabilities of
cellular,
infrared(IR), satellite, wide area network (WAN) and WLAN systems to provide
4 complete end-to-end enhanced services. This can be achieved by modulation
format
selectable (MFS) and bit rate agile (BRA) multi-mode, multiuse interoperable
systems.
6 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) systems and Wi-Fi embodiments are included and
integrated
with other implementation architectures in the current disclosure. The terms
Wi-Fi or
8 wireless fidelity or related terms, used in this application, are for
systems such as IEEE
802.x_ standardized systems and are to be used generically when referring of
any type of
802.11 network, whether IEEE 802.11 b, 802.11a, 802.16, 802.20 dual-band, etc.
The
term Wi-Fi is also used as promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance and has also
broader
12 interpretations; alternative terms to Wi-Fi, such as UWB/W-USB, ZigBee, NFC
and
WiMax are also used and included in the embodiments of this invention.
14 Nowadays it is not unusual that in an individual has a cellular phone, a
pager, about
three or more remote control(RC) devices e.g. one or more RC for one or more
16 television sets, for VCR for satellite channel TV set, garage opener, car
auto opener,
portable FM radio, video camcorder, computer, PDA, multiple cordless phones
18 and other electronic devices. It is overwhelming just to keep track of all
of these devices.
Thus, consolidation or integration of many devices, units into one
multipurpose or
multiuse unit would be desirable.
W To enable the implementation of efficient multiuse communication devices for
single
22 or multiple information signals and communications between and within
multiple
standardized and a multitude of non-standardized systems, between a large
class of
24 communication and control transmission -reception media, such as wireless
(e.g.
cellular, land mobile, satellite), cable, Fiber Optics Communication(FOC),
internet,
26 intranet and other media there is a need to have adaptable or agile systems
and adaptable
embodiment structures. Such structures including Intermediate Frequency (IF)
and or
28 Radio Frequency(RF) agile, Bit Rate Agile or Bit Rate Adaptable(BRA) ,
Modulation
Format Selectable(MFS) and or Modulation Embodiment Selectable (MES) systems
are
disclosed. The multiuse modulator-demodulator (modem) and or modulator and or
demodulator implementations, disclosed in this application, have Intermediate
16

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
Frequency (IF) and or Radio Frequency(RF) agile, that is IF adaptable and or
RF
2 adaptable embodiments. In IF and or RF adaptable or IF and or RF agile
systems the
center frequency of the modulated signal(s) is selectable and or adaptable to
the desired
4 transmission frequency band. The RF transmitter -receiver (transceiver)
embodiments
are also RF agile implementations. Several features of the multiuse
embodiments are
6 optional and are not included in some implementation structures. Some of
these include
the optional Bit Rate Agile or Bit Rate Adaptable(BRA) structures and or RF
agile
8 implementations and or cross-correlated and or other structures and or
features.
There is a need for one or more of the modulators, in certain embodiments to
have BRA
and or Code Selectable and or MFS and or MES implementations. The term
Modulation
Format Selectable(MFS), as used in this application is defined to mean that
the
12 modulation technique(modulation format) is adaptable,
changeable(selectable) and also
that the coding technique, if coding is used in the system is also adaptable,
14 changeable(selectable) in certain embodiments. In some disclosed
embodiments the same
modulation format and same bit rate is used, however the modulation embodiment
is
16 different. For example, in an application a GMSK modulated system uses a
Quadrature
Modulation(QM) structure for low transmit power applications, while for a high
transmit
18 power application it uses a non-quadrature modulation(NQM), e.g. polar
implementation
structure. Thus, in this example the same GMSK modulation format, having the
same bit
rate (or a different bit rate) is switched (or selected) to be transmitted
instead in the QM
embodiment in a NQM embodiment
22 The disclosed subject matter is for multiuse and or multipurpose
applications, devices
and systems, including systems for: position determination, location based
services and
24 applications, location finding, tracking, single or multiple tracking,
Remote Control (RC),
Universal Remote Control (URC), wireless, wired, cabled, internet, web based
26 communication systems, communicator devices, radio frequency identification
(RFID)

systems, medical
28 patient monitor-sensor devices, diagnostics units and systems, Deoxyribose

2 communications, broadcasting, teleinformatics and telemetry systems.
The presented implementations and embodiments are for single and multiple
devices in
4 single and multiple mode systems and networks. Location finding, tracking
and
identification of devices, including processing of certain measured parameters
or

temperature, blood
pressure or other devices) are communicated to devices and units which might
be at
8 central locations and or are peers of the monitored located device and are
also mobile
units, e.g. mobile telephones, mobile computers such as Personal Digital
Assistants
(PDA) or laptop computers, mobile entertainment or educational devices, or
mobile
navigational and interactive devices, or are units at fixed locations, e.g.
wired telephones
12 or computers. Interactive location based and educational and or
entertainment devices
and systems for mobile wireless and or wired media or internet web media
information
14 transfer and telematics and telemetry are also included. Regarding images,
pictures and
video and scanned or stored images and pictures three dimensional (3D) images
are
16 included in the communications units. Certain devices have incorporated
touch screens

area to local area wireless networks and vice versa, with location finder
seamless
24 operation and wired or internet web based monitoring signal processing
implementations
are presented. These systems, in certain applications are connected to
cordless telephones
26 and or other cordless devices. The term signal processing refers to signal
and or data
processing. This application includes multi operation and multi function of a
plurality of
28 embodiments of one or more of the following system components: single or
multiple
location finder, location tracker devices, position finder devices (note the
terms "location
finder", "location tracker" and "position finder" have in several parts of
this disclosure
practically the same meaning ), Radio Frequency Identification Devices(RFID),
18

connected with single or multiple Bit Rate Agile(BRA) , and single modulation
or
2 Modulation Format Selectable(MFS) satellite and/or land based devices. These
multiuse
system components assembled in one or more combinations and variations, also
known
4 as "plug and play", are disclosed for operation in standardized systems ,
e.g. GSM,
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Digital GSM Evolution (EDGE), or

Code
Division Multiple Access (WCDMA or W-CDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division
8 Multiple Access (OFDM), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), IEEE 802.xx,
Digital European Cordless Telecommunication (DECT), Infrared (IR), Wireless
Fidelity
(Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, and other standardized as well as non-standardized
systems. While,
prior art wireless short range systems such as the standardized Bluetooth
system provide
12 connection to cell phone systems the prior art short range systems do not
provide
connection to selectable enhanced performance multi-standard, multi -niode,
Modulation
14 Format Selectable (MFS) and Bit Rate Selectable systems (also designated as
Bit Rate
Agile(BRA) systems) and cascaded wireless, wired and Internet Pr6tocol(IP) and
16 embodiments, such as described and claimed in this invention. This
application includes
embodiments and architectures for more efficient implementation and of
enhanced
18 performance second generation (2G), third generation (3G), fourth
generation (4G) and
fifth generation (5G) and other new generations of wireless and broadcast,
processing,
storage, medical diagnostics-communications and control, interactive
entertainment and
educational and business systems with or without use of internet and/or
multimedia
22 systems. The terms 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G have a broad generic meaning and are
not limited
to certain specific standards. These terms are interpreted, within the new
inventions
24 disclosed herein, as new generation and or enhanced performance or more
efficient
implementation of prior art systems.
26 In addition to finding lost, runaway or kidnapped humans, lost, runaway or
stolen
pets/animals or objects, several medical applications for patient monitoring
with multi-
28 mode wireless, wired and internet systems are also disclosed in this
application. For
surgery, other medical procedures and medical patient monitoring and
diagnostics, hybrid
wired and wireless or purely wireless systems which reduce or eliminate the
cables and
wires attached to human body are also described. Video broadcasting,
multicasting and
19

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
video conferencing technologies, in conjunction with the aforementioned
technologies
2 are also disclosed. Language translators with written and audio converted
text are
presented. Voice recognition systems and fingerprint recognition transmission
and
4 activation methods are disclosed.
To remove or minimize cables for patient monitoring systems new architectures,
6 structures and embodiments for multi mode, multi standard, non standardized
wireless,
wired, cabled, infrared, multiple "cascaded" switched and combined solutions
and
8 systems are presented in this disclosure. This include cascade of cellular
i.e. GSM or
GSM switched to CDMA systems, with short range wireless systems -one or
multiple
such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other. Motivation for reducing the number of
cables include,
the desire to eliminate the cumbersome cables connected to the patient,
facilitate the
12 surgery, and facilitate and speed up the patient recovery -enabling the
patient to move,
exercise and improve the quality of life of the patient during surgery,
recovery and post
14 recovery monitoring and shorten emergency time response including a remote
physician, nurse or other authorized health provider -in a reverse link to
control-
16 administer certain medical -pharmaceutical items, e.g. insulin or other;
also to eliminate
or reduce cable caused potentially harmful currents to the patient. The term
reverse link
18 means the link (signal flow) from the physician, nurse or other authorized
health provider
to the patient or patients medical device; the term forward link refers to the
link from the
patients medical device, e.g. from the cardiac stimulation device to the
physician, nurse
or other authorized health provider or health monitoring system.
22 The prior art pacemaker control requires magnet detection circuit for
magnet controlled
pacemaker parameters. Unfortunately this magnet dependent operation /change of
24 parameters of pacemakers is in many cases causing difficulties and or even
rendering
impossible to have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and/or Magnetic Resonance
26 Image scanning on a patient who has a pace maker. Since MRI is a frequently
desired
diagnostic procedure for diagnostic purposes, even in an emergency where the
28 information from the MRI scan could be life saving, and since MRI
interferes with the
correct operation of currently available magnetic detection-magnetic
controlled based
pacemakers, it would be highly desirable to develop a new generation of
pacemakers
which could be operated and controlled without substantial magnetic materials,
i.e.

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
without the need of magnet based detection and magnet control.
2 In distinction with the prior art magnet detection circuit, in the current
invention there is
no need for magnet detection circuits and no need for magnet's to be placed
over or into
4 the pacemaker to reset or modify parameters and functions/operation of the
pacemaker.
In the current invention magnetic detection and magnet control of pacemaker is
replaced
6 by wireless signal detection and based on the detected wireless signals and
processing of
said wireless detected signals (received from a physician operated wireless
transmitter)
8 control signals are generated to control the parameters and operation of the
pacemaker.
Wireless systems authentication with fingerprint and or other means is also
disclosed.
In this application the terms "multiuse" and or "multipurpose" mean that one
or more
of the aforementioned applications, systems , system architectures and or
embodiments or
12 combinations of the aforementioned system components are used.

T/R), taken
18 from prior art Fig. 6 of Feher' s U.S. Pat.6,665,348 (the'348 patent), Ref.
[42]. Since
several terms used in the `348 patent and in the current application have the
same and/or
similar meaning as in the prior art and to facilitate reading of the current
application,
without the need to repeatedly refer to the `348 patent, in the following
paragraphs
22 pertinent highlights and or additional explanations of the prior art Fig.
6, of the `348
patent, within the context of this application, are presented. In Fig. 6 of

general cross-correlated signals or cross-correlated waveforms means that
signals (or
4 waveforms) are related to each other. More specifically, the term "cross-
correlating"
means "processing signals to generate related output signals in the in-phase
(I) and in the
6 quadrature-phase (Q) channels". Related to description of Fig.7, Fig.8 and
Fig.9 it is
noted that if a signal is split into two signal path or two signal channels
and the signals in
8 the two channels are the same, or practically the same, then the signals in
the two
channels are related thus, are cross-correlated. The term "cascade" or "
cascaded "
means that the signal flow or signal connection between filters or units is in
a sequence,
such as serial signal flow between filters , processors or units, or the
signal flow or signal
12 path is simultaneous or parallel between multiple units. In Fig. 6 the LR
filters or LR
processors could be implemented as separate in-phase (I) and quadrature -phase
(Q) LPF
14 s or as an individual time-shared LPF. The transmit Baseband Signal
Processor (BBP)
including the I and Q LPF s could be implemented by digital techniques and
followed by
16 D/A converters or by means of analog implementations or a mixture of
digital and analog
components. In certain embodiments only one signal path is present, that is
there are no
18 separate I and Q signal channels. Certain architectures use Bit Rate
Agile(BRA),
Modulation Format Selectable(MFS), modulation and demodulation filters have
been
implemented and tested with intentionally Mis-Matched (MM) filter parameters.
Some of
the implementations use Agile(Bit rate Agile or BRA) Cascaded Mis-Matched
(ACM)
22 architectures. The term Bit rate Agile or BRA refers to systems in which
the bit rate is
tunable, selectable or changeable. The LR filter units, embodied by the first
and second
24 sets of I and Q are implemented as LPF s or alternately as of other types
of filters such as
Band-Pass Filters (BPF) or High Pass Filters (HPF) or other filter/processor
LR filter
26 combinations. For several embodiments all of the aforementioned processors,
filters and
modulators, demodulators(modems) are BRA, MFS and ACM, while for other
28 implementations bit rate agility and or ACM or MFS implementations may not
be
required. Unit 6.17 is an amplifier that could be operated in a linear (LIN)
or in a NLA
mode. The output of amplifier unit 6.17 is provided on lead 6.18 to the
transmission
medium. In some of the embodiments and structures the units in only one of the

in the other
2 channel, designated as I channel the components are not used. In yet another
set of
embodiments only the baseband processor part is implemented. In Fig. 6 at the
receiving
4 end, on lead 6.19, is the modulated received signal. Unit 6.21 is a BPF that
is present in
some embodiments while in others it is not required. A more detailed
description of

8 Fig.7 contains prior art cross-correlated signals, and in particular in-
phase (I) and
quadrature-phase (Q) signal patterns-displayed in the time domain. This figure
is taken
from a prior art cited book, Feher, K.: "Wireless Digital Communications:
Modulation &
Spread Spectrum Applications". Note that the displayed amplitude patterns
(amplitude as
12 a function of time) of the upper signal (designated as I signal) and of the
lower signal
(designated as Q signal) are related, that is these signals are cross-
correlated. This
14 relation or cross-correlation property of the I and Q signals (upper and
lower signals) is
noted in Fig.7, for example, whenever the upper signal (I signal) has its
maximum
16 amplitude, the lower signal (Q signal) has zero value and when the upper
signal has a
local maximum the lower signal has a local minimum. The term zero means zero
or
18 approximately zero, while the terms maximum and minimum mean maximum and
minimum or approximately maximum and approximately minimum.
Fig.8 shows prior art measured cross-correlated signals on a sample Integrated
Circuit
(chip), manufactured by Philips and designated as the PCD-5071 chip. The
Philips PCD-
22 5071 chips was manufactured for use in GSM systems for generation of GSM
system
recommended /specified GMSK modulation signals. This Fig. 8 is taken from the

waveform)
in the upper channel (designated as I signal) and in the lower channel
(designated as Q
28 signal) are related, i.e. they are cross-correlated. This cross-correlation
or relation
property between the upper and lower signals is evident, for example, whenever
the
upper signal (I signal) has its maximum amplitude, the lower signal (Q signal)
has zero
value.

structures and implementations which are different from the quadrature(QUAD)
8 implementation structures. Unit 9.6 contains one or a plurality processors
and
modulators which have a quadrature(QUAD) implementation structure. Modulators
having quadrature structure have base band in-phase(I) signals baseband
quadrature-

lower part
18 of Fig. 9, an input signal on connection 9.11, and connection of the 9.11
input signal to
signal lead 9.12 and to signal lead 9.13 is shown. In one of the embodiments,
the same
input signal is provided (split or by the splitter) to the I channel, on
connection 9.12, and
to the Q channel on connection 9.13. Thus, the signals on connection leads
9.12 and 9.13,
22 designated as I and Q signals, in this implementation architecture, are the
same or are
practically the same, thus they are related or cross-correlated signals. In
other
24 embodiments the splitter provides processed and different signals to leads
9.12 and 9.13
respectively, that is the I signal is different than the Q signal. The
different I and Q
26 signals, depending upon the processor/splitter may or may not be related,
that is they
may or may not be cross-correlated.

and or instead of QUAD modulators. Some of the non-quadrature modulation
structures
18 are known in the prior art as polar modulation, while other non-QUAD
modulators are
prior art Frequency Modulators (FM), Frequency Shift Keying ( FSK), Gaussian
Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK), Amplitude Modulator (AM) systems and devices.
Fig.17b and Fig.17c.show two prior art non-QUAD modulation architectures.
22 Fig.17b is based on Lindoff et al. US patent 6,101,224 and Black et al US
pat
5,430,416, assigned to Motorola. The illustrated non-QUAD modulation technique
is also
24 known as polar modulation, since it is based on a polar representation of
the baseband
signals. In this non-Quad modulator polar components i.e., amplitude (r) and
phase (p)
26 components are used, instead of in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q)
components used
in quad modulation techniques. In this exemplary prior art modulator, the
source signal
28 (or information signal) to be transmitted is present on connection 17.10.
Signal processor
17.11 generates a signal amplitude component and a signal phase component.
These
signal components are provided to a Digital to Analog (D/A) converter and to a
Phase
Modulator (PM) respectively. The phase component modulates the carrier signal
in a
51

WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
phase modulator 17.13, resulting in a phase modulation with constant envelope.
The
2 amplitude component is converted to an analog signal in a D/A-converter and
then fed
through a regulator (Reg) 17.14 which adjusts the current or voltage of the
signal
4 controlling the power of a power amplifier (PA) 17.15, based on the signal
and the
output D/A converted signal 17.12 . The regulated analog signal modulates the
phase
6 modulated carrier signal in the power amplifier 17.15 by controlling the
power of the
power amplifier. The resulting amplified signal is then provided for
transmission.

implementation the source signal, present on lead 17.16 is provided to a Phase
Modulator
(PM) or Frequency Modulator (FM), Unit 17.17. The PM and/or FM modulated

antennas. Additional antennas 19.6 and 19.13 transmit and or receive signals
to the SDR
and or MSDR and or HDR units. In this figure, all units 19.1 to 19.13 are
single units in
12 some embodiments, while all units 19.1 to 19.13 are single or multiple
units in other
embodiments. Unit 19.5 is a control unit for control of one or more units. In
certain
14 implementations selected units in Fig. 19 are BRA and MFS units, while in

Fig. 20 contains an interface unit or multiple interface units, set of
modulators,
amplifiers, selection devices and or combiner devices which provide RF signals
to the
transmission medium. Single or multiple interface units, single or multiple
modulation,
22 single or multiple amplification, BRA and MFS structures and
implementations are
included. In this embodiment input lead 20.1 or multiple input leads 20.1
provide an
24 input signal or multiple input signals to single or multiple interface and
or processor unit
20.2. At the output of Unit 20.2 on one or multiple signal leads quadrature or
non-
26 quadrature signals are provided. In-phase (I) and quadrature-phase(Q)
baseband sigiials
are provided to Unit 20.3a. Unit 20.3a is a quadrature modulator which
provides in some
28 embodiments cross-correlated I and Q (designated also as I/Q) baseband
signals, while
in other embodiments there is no cross-correlation provided for the I/Q
baseband signals,
which are quadrature modulated(QM) in Unit 20.3a. Unit 20.3b contains one or
more
quadrature modulators(QM). The implementation of one or more of the QM,
contained in
54

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
unit 20.3b is in certain embodiments a SDR implementation structure, in some
other
2 embodiments it is a MSDR structure, while in certain other embodiments it is
a HDR and
or it is an other conventional prior art QM structure. Units 20.4a and 20.4b
are non
4 quadrature modulators. One or more of these modulators are embodied by
conventional
prior art non-quadrature modulators, such as FM, PM or AM or BPSK or FSK or
other
6 non SDR architectures, while in certain other embodiments the non-quadrature
modulators are implemented by SDR and or by MSDR and or by HDR architectures
and
8 or by digital or analog polar modulation structures. One or more of the
modulators 20.3a,
20.3b, 20.4a and or 20.4b in certain implementations operate at an
Intermediate
Frequency(IF) and contain an up-converter unit (frequency translation device)
to the
desired Radio Frequency (RF). One or more of the modulators 20.3a, 20.3b,
20.4a and
12 or 20.4b in certain implementations are Bit Rate Agile or Bit Rate
Adaptable(BRA) and
or Modulation Format Selectable(MFS) and or Modulation Embodiment Selectable
14 (MES) systems. In certain designs and or embodiments the same modulation
format and
same bit rate is used, however the modulation embodiment is different. For
example, in
16 an application a GMSK modulated system uses a Quadrature Modulation(QM)
structure
for low transmit power applications, while for a high transmit power
application it uses a
18 non-quadrature modulation(NQM) , e.g. polar implementation structure. Thus,
in this
example the same GMSK modulation format, having the same bit rate (or a
different bit
rate) is switched (or selected) to be transmitted instead in the QM embodiment
in a NQM
embodiment. One or more of the modulators 20.3a, 20.3b, 20.4a and or 20.4b in
certain
22 implementations are IF and or RF agile, that is IF and or RF adaptable
modulators,
having selectable and or adaptable center frequency (and or center
frequencies) of the
24 modulated signal(s), which is (are)most suitable for the desired
transmission frequency
band. One or more of the modulators provides signals to one or more optional
26 preamplifiers 20.5a, 20.5b, 20.6a and or 20.6b and or to one or more
optional Power
Amplifiers (PA) 20.7a, 20.7b, 20.8a and or 20.8b.
28 The preamplifiers operate in a linearized or linearly amplified (LINA) mode
or in a Non-
Linearly Amplified (NLA) mode. One or more of the amplified signals are
provided to
the output connector 20.10 through optional single or multiple combiner unit
20.9.

stimulation devices are described in U.S. Pat. 6,539,253 Thompson et al.:
"Implantable
2 medical device incorporating integrated circuit notch filters", issued March
25, 2003 (for
short "Thompson patent" or the `253 patent" or "Thompson's `253 patent) and in
U.S.
4 pat. 6,907,291 issued Jun.14, 2005, Snell et al.: "Secure telemetry system
and method for
an implantable cardiac stimulation device", assigned to Pacesetter, Inc.,
Sylmar, CA (for
6 short "Snell patent" or the "`291 patent" or "Snell's `291 patent"). The
pacemaker and
implantable cardiac stimulation device, of the current invention, is coupled
to a heart 30.1
8 by way of leads 30.4a and 30.4b, lead 30.4a having an electrode 30.2 that is
in contact
with one of the atria of the heart, and lead 30.4b having an electrode 30.3
that is in
contact with one of the ventricles of the heart. Leads 30.4a and 30.4b are
connected to
the pacemaker through a connection interface and or processor unit 30.5 that
forms part
12 of the pacemaker and implantable cardiac stimulation device. In certain
other
implementations and/or other applications, unit 30.1 contains other body parts
or other
14 body organs than the heart, for example unit 30.1 may be the kidney, limb,
head, skin or a
vessel while Unit 30.2 and Unit 30.3 a device or a medical probe or an other
device than
16 an electrode. Unit 30.6 contains single or multiple leads for connection of
single or
multiple signals between Unit 30.5 and 30.7. In certain embodiments unit 30.5
represents
18 an interface connector or connection, and or some signal processing between
leads 30.4a
and 30.4b and Unit 30.7, while in other embodiments unit 30.5 contains a
microprocessor for detection of signals received from Unit 30.7, for
generation of control
signals for the operation and/or modification of the parameters of the cardiac
stimulation
22 device-heart pacemaker, pulse generator, amplifiers, processors, memory
sensors,
battery and other components for the operation, control and modification of
operating
24 conditions of the pacemaker and or of other medical parameters. In some
implementations Unit 30.5 contains stimulating pulse generators for atrial
pulse
26 generation and ventricular pulse generation, one or more detection circuits
and
amplifiers. One of the amplifiers, contained in Unit 30.5 is typically
configured to detect
28 an evoked response from the heart 30.1 in response to an applied stimulus,
thereby aiding
in the detection of "capture." Capture occurs when an electrical stimulus
applied to the
heart is of sufficient energy to depolarize the cardiac tissue, thereby
causing the heart
muscle to contract, or in other words, causing the heart to beat. Capture does
not occur
63

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
when an electrical stimulus applied to the heart is of insufficient energy to
depolarize the
2 cardiac tissue. Unit 30.5 of the current invention may contain a protection
circuit for
protecting the pacemaker from excessive shocks or voltages that could appear
on the
4 electrodes 30.2 and/or 30.3 in the event such electrodes were to come in
contact with a
high voltage signal, for example, from a defibrillation shock.
6 Unit 30.7 comprises one or more transmitters or receivers and/or
transmitters and
receivers, also known as transceivers (T/R), for transmission and or reception
of one or
8 multiple signals connected by leads 30.8 and or 30.11 to Unit 30.10 and or
Unit 30.12.
The single or multiple transceivers of Unit 30.7 contain in certain
embodiments one or
multiple modulation format selectable (MFS) and or/ code selectable
embodiments, such
as previously described, e.g. GSM, WCDMA, spread spectrum, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
EDGE
12 or other system specified modulation formats. In certain embodiments of
Unit 30.7 there
is at least one notch filter, also known as band stop filter, having an input
and output that
14 blocks predetermined Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) signals Unit 30.10
contains
interface circuitry and or connection circuitry-leads to one or multiple
antennas 30.9. Unit
16 30.12 is an interface connection for transmission and or reception of
signals.
In prior art pacemakers, e.g. Snell's `291 patent the pacemaker further
includes
18 magnet detection circuitry. It is the purpose of the magnet detection
circuitry to detect
when a magnet is placed over the pacemaker, which magnet may be used by a
physician
or other medical personnel to perform various reset functions of the
pacemaker.
The prior art pacemaker control requires magnet detection circuit for magnet
controlled
22 pacemaker parameters. Unfortunately this magnet dependent operation /change
of
parameters of pacemakers is in many cases causing difficulties and or even
rendering
24 impossible to have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and/or Magnetic
Resonance
Image scanning on a patient who has a pace maker. Since MRI is a frequently
desired
26 diagnostic procedure for diagnostic purposes, even in an emergency where
the
information from the MRI scan could be life saving, and since MRI interferes
with the
28 correct operation of currently available magnetic detection-magnetic
controlled based
pacemakers, it would be highly desirable to develop a new generation of
pacemakers
which could be operated and controlled without substantial magnetic materials,
i.e.
without the need of magnet based detection and magnet control.
64

CA 02614865 2008-01-10
WO 2007/018566 PCT/US2005/035931
In distinction with the prior art magnet detection circuit and physician or
other medical
2 personnel performed various reset functions of the pacemaker, by placing a
magnet over
the pacemaker, in the current invention there is no need for magnet detection
circuits and
4 no need for magnet's to be placed over the pacemaker to reset or modify
parameters and
functions/operation of the pacemaker. In the current invention magnetic
detection and
6 magnet control of pacemaker is replaced by wireless signal detection and
based on the
detected wireless signals and processing of said wireless detected signals
(received from
8 a physician operated wireless transmitter) control signals are generated to
control the
parameters and operation of the pacemaker.
In distinction with the prior art and with Snell's `291 patent, the current
invention
provides new structures and embodiments of multiuse and/or multimode wired and
or
12 wireless transmitters and receivers, without need of magnetic coupling for
adjusting or
resetting the parameters of cardiac stimulation e.g. heart pacemaker devices
and or other
14 medical devices. An advantage of the presented embodiments is that the
stimulation
devices can continue to operate even in emergency rooms or other environments
where
16 the patient is having Magnetic Resonant Imaging (MRI) diagnostic tests.
