magnetic guidance

Introduction

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, the demand for efficient and convenient charging solutions has surged. Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) technology offers a promising solution, allowing for wireless charging without the need for physical connections. Among the various advancements in this field, the development of self-aligning capability in IPT pads stands out.

Magnetic guidance of cochlear implants is a promising technique to reduce the risk of physical trauma during surgery. In this approach, a magnet attached to the tip of the implant electrode array is guided within the scala tympani using a magnetic field. After surgery, the magnet must be detached from the implant electrode array via localized heating, which may cause thermal trauma, and removed from the scala tympani .
