FY 2009 Performance Goals

2009 Annual Goal: Advance blind patient sight. FY09: Complete in vitro/benchtop development of implantable 200+ electrode prototype.

2009 Annual Goal Met: The bench-top development of an implantable 200+ electrode prototype has been completed. All the components of the 200+ electrode prototype have been integrated and characterized.

Performance Goal/Annual Target
Quarter Quarter Goal Quarterly Results: Yes or No?
1st Quarter Build electronics module for implantable active A-200+ system Goal Met. The electronics module for an implantable active A-200+ system was assembled and tested. It is a key component required to fabricate the active A-200+ prototype system.
2nd Quarter Complete fabrication of active A - 200+ Prototype system

Goal Met. The fabrication of an active A-200+ prototype system which includes the electronics package, wireless power and telemetry coil, and the thin film electrode array has been completed.

3rd Quarter Functional characterization of active A - 200+ system Goal Met. The functional characterization using the wireless power and telemetry link of an active A-200+ prototype system has been completed.
4th Quarter Final integration of implantable A - 200+ system Goal Met. The final integration of an implantable A-200+ prototype system has been completed. The A200+ system has demonstrated wireless power delivery and wireless bi-directional telemetry in an in-vitro setting.
