Patent number: 8268383Abstract: Medical implants exhibiting optimized mechanical properties, and methods of making such implants, are disclosed. That is, the implants are fabricated of a porous metal substrate and include coating integrated over various areas so as to provide some added or desirable property or functionality to the implant. In one embodiment, the implant is an acetabular implant with a coating applied to an internal, concave wear surface which is sized and configured to receive a head of a femur. Typically, the coating is a ceramic incorporated onto the desired area of the implant via electrophoretic deposition.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Depuy Products, Inc.Inventor: Jason Langhorn

Patent number: 7342804Abstract: An R-C network formed on a substrate. The capacitor includes a metal member with anodized and unanodized layers. The unanodized layer functions as one of the capacitor's electrodes. The anodized layer functions as the capacitor's dielectric layer. The resistor is formed from material on the same side of the substrate as the capacitor. In some versions of the invention, the resistor is formed on top of a substrate dielectric layer. In these versions of the invention, a conductor both functions as one of the capacitor's electrodes and connects the resistor to the capacitor. In alternative versions of the invention, the resistor is formed from a film that disposed on the undersurface a metal foil. The foil functions as the resistor to capacitor conductor. Sections of the foil that are removed expose and define the resistor. Solder balls or other connectors on the substrate surface connect the network to another component.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: CTS CorporationInventors: Jason Langhorn, Craig Ernsberger

Patent number: 7240558Abstract: A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure level of a pressurized medium. The pressure sensor includes a housing that has a high pressure side, a low pressure side and an aperture. A substrate is located in the aperture. The substrate has a pair of ends and a center portion. The center portion is brazed to the housing in the aperture. The center portion seals the high pressure side from the low pressure side. A pressure sensitive resistor is mounted to one end of the substrate. A reference resistor is mounted to another end of the substrate. A circuit line is located on the substrate. The circuit line is connected between the pressure sensitive resistor and the reference resistor.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: CTS CorporationInventors: Craig Ernsberger, Robert R. Rainey, Patrick B. Blakesley, Jason Langhorn

Patent number: 6997059Abstract: A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure level of a pressurized medium. In one embodiment, the pressure sensor has a high pressure side and a low pressure side. An aperture may extend through at least a portion of the sensor assembly, and a seal is located in the aperture. The seal seals the high pressure side from the low pressure side. Electrical leads extend through the seal between the high pressure side and the low pressure side. A substrate is located on the high pressure side. A pressure sensitive resistor is mounted on the substrate such that the resistor is directly exposed to the pressurized medium. The resistor changes resistance in response to a change in pressure. The resistor is connected to the electrical leads.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2004Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: CTS CorporationInventors: Craig Ernsberger, Jason Langhorn
