Title:
MAGNETIC SWITCH FOR USE IN A SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES AN IN-VIVO DEVICE, AND A METHOD OF USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004086434
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A switch such as a normally closed MEMS switch may be used in an in-vivo device to alter a mode or operation; for example, to disconnect the power unit from electrical circuitry during storage of the in-vivo device by introducing a magnetic field in the proximity of the in-vivo device. The in-vivo device may be powered by removing the magnetic field upon use. Other switches, such as normally open switches, or switches including multiple sets of leads, having multiple functionality, may be used. A packaging generating a magnetic field may operate the switch when the device is in the packaging.
