ABSTRACT:
A power source providing electric power to subcutaneously implanted devices capture mechanical energy from the expansion and contraction of a cross-section of a blood vessel during a systolic-diastolic blood pressure cycle include a mechano-electric transducer assembly mechanically coupled to involuntarily moving tissue. The transducer includes a deformable inner element and a substantially rigid outer structure positioned outward of the elastic inner element. A transducer element disposed between the substantially rigid outer structure and the inner element is operable to generate electric energy and output the electric energy to a pair of output terminals. A deformable biocompatible envelope substantially surrounds the outer structure, the inner element and the transducer element.
