The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michingan, has accomplished a computer that can be implanted in the body, the dimensions are very small it comes to little more than a cubic millimeter and will serve to control the pressure in the eye, for those suffering from glaucoma.
These objectives were professors Dennis Sylvester, David Blaauw and his assistant David Wentzloff, the computer consists of a low-power microprocessor, pressure sensor, memory, battery, thin film solar cell and wireless data transfer to an external device should be placed near the eye. This little PC is powered by a battery that is recharged with sunlight in 1.5 hours or 10 hours with artificial light, has the ability to CA storage data for a week, noting the pressure in the eye every 15 minutes, then return in standbay, consumption is very low, only 5.3 NW, thanks to Phoenix for third-generation CPU architecture and a unique power gating extreme idle mode to reduce power consumption to a minimum.
Here's what he said Professor Dennis Sylvester: "This is the first truly complete computing system in millimeter scale. Our work is unique in that we think of complete systems where all components are low and within the chip. We may collect, store and transmit. Applications for systems of this size are endless.
