摘要: Techniques for controlling one or more modular circuits (“satellites”) that are intended placement in a subject's body. The satellites controlled by sending signals over bus includes first and second conduction paths. Also coupled to the system embodiments is device such as pacemaker provides power control circuitry. Each satellite circuitry effectors interact with tissue. bus, thus interfaces controller effectors, which may function actuators, sensors, both. be electrodes used introduce analog electrical (e.g., pacing pulses) into tissue local areas where positioned heart muscles) sense propagating depolarization signal) within
