Cerebral or organ interface system
First Claim
1. An organ interface system for communicatively connecting at least one organ of a body with a user, comprising:
- (a) at least one housing mechanism including an intraosseous portion and an extraosseous auxiliary portion, the at least one housing mechanism configured to be spaced at least in part within a bone of a subject and having at least one device contained or partially contained therein;
(b) attaching means configured to attach the at least one housing mechanism to the bone, the attaching means being slidable for repositioning of the auxiliary housing mechanism in reference to the intraosseous housing mechanism to allow access to the intraosseous housing mechanism without removing the auxiliary housing mechanism; and
(c) at least one communication mechanism configured to communicatively connect the at least one organ to the at least one device; and
(d) wherein the at least one device is configured to operatively sense, monitor, store, record, log, transmit, analyze, quantify, detect changes in, predict changes in, warn of changes in, modify, or control the state or activity in the at least one organ.

Abstract
A cerebral and/or interface system has a housing mechanism configured to be at least partially spaced in a cavity formed in the subject'"'"'s skull; an attaching mechanism for attaching the housing mechanism to the subject'"'"'s skull; a sealing mechanism for providing a fluid-tight seal between the housing mechanism and the subject'"'"'s skull; a control mechanism spaced within the housing mechanism; a communication mechanism with one or more sensors embedded in the subject'"'"'s brain connecting the control mechanism to the subject'"'"'s brain; and a power source spaced within the housing mechanism. Optional embodiments include a treatment portion for cooling or heating adjacent tissue, a medicament portion for administering medicament to adjacent tissue, a separate auxiliary compartment with a removable lid secured to or spaced apart from the housing mechanism, contacts extending outwardly from housing mechanism, and/or a supporting mechanism for precisely displacing the housing mechanism angularly or along x-, y-, and z-axes.

2. An organ interface system for communicatively connecting at least one organ of a body with a user, comprising:
-
(a) at least one housing mechanism configured to be spaced at least in part within a bone of a subject, the at least one housing mechanism having at least one device contained or partially contained therein; (b) attaching means configured to attach the at least one housing mechanism to the bone; (c) at least one communication mechanism configured to communicatively connect the at least one organ to the at least one device; and (d) at least one movable structure that is in moveable engagement with a device positioning mechanism having; (1) a first track with a first mounting mechanism structured to connect the at least one movable structure to the first track, (2) a second track with a second mounting mechanism structured to mount the first track thereon, the second track having first and second ends, (3) elevation mechanisms with third mounting mechanisms structured to mount the first and second ends of the second track to the elevation mechanisms, (4) an x-axis driving mechanism structured to controllably and operatively displace the housing mechanism along the first track, (5) a y-axis driving mechanism structured to controllably and operatively displace the first track along the second track, and (6) z-axis driving mechanisms structured to controllably and operatively displace the first and second ends of the second track along the elevation mechanisms, and (e) wherein the at least one device is configured to operatively sense, monitor, store, record, log, transmit, analyze, quantify, detect changes in, predict changes in, warn of changes in, modify, or control the state or activity in the at least one organ. - View Dependent Claims (3)
