The Principle of Inductive Coupling
Inductive coupling is
bi-directional

Near-Field versus Far-Field
Magnetic field impedance is lower in near field

Glaucoma Monitoring
Measurement of the eye pressure by measuring the eye deformation with a strain gauge Ultra-Low Power (ULP) is an absolute MUST !!

Classical Glaucoma Measurement
Disadvantages: • Unpleasant • Snapshot, no continuous monitoring • Needs to be done with help of somebody else => Hospital

Rectifier
Greinacher circuit Cockcroft Walton Voltage multiplier
Vt - 0.2V
Vout = Vin + Vin_peak - Vdiode
Vout = Vin_peak_peak – 2Vdiode
Vout = Vin_peak_peak – 0.4V
