Abstract: In some examples, a feedthrough assembly for a medical device may include a ferrule. The ferrule defines an aperture extending through the ferrule from an outer end surface defined by the ferrule to an end inner end surface defined by the ferrule. The aperture includes a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion having a second diameter less than the first diameter. The aperture defines a longitudinal axis extending therethrough and the ferrule defines a ledge between the first and second portions of the aperture that extends radially inward toward the longitudinal axis. The feedthrough assembly further may include a conductive pin within the aperture and an insulating member surrounding at least a portion of the pin. The insulating member may electrically insulate the conductive pin from the ferrule, and the ledge and a surface of the insulating member adjacent the ledge may define a space therebetween.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a sealed package and method of forming such package are disclosed. The package can include a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface. The package can also include an electronic device disposed on the first major surface of the substrate, and a power source disposed at least partially within the housing. The substrate can be sealed to the housing such that a non-bonded electrical connection is formed between a device contact of the electronic device and a power source contact of the power source.

Abstract: A mandrel for use in a battery assembly may include a positive mandrel portion and a negative mandrel portion. Each of the mandrel portions may include a connector element coupling region and an electrode coupling region. The connector element coupling region may be configured to be coupled to a connector element and the electrode coupling region may be configured to be coupled to an electrode.

Abstract: An electrode assembly for use in a battery may include a mandrel and one or more insulative portions. The insulative portions may be formed about and may extend from one or more end regions of a battery mandrel. Further, insulative portions may electrically insulate one or more elements of the electrode assembly from each other.

Abstract: An automatic locking brake shoe device for a double sash window is disclosed which is slidably disposed in the guide channel of the window jamb liner. The brake shoe device interconnects with an associated sash through a laterally projecting sash pin. The automatic locking brake shoe device comprises first and second brake shoe members that are pivotally connected for relative pivotal movement. The first member is connected to the window balance mechanism, and the second member includes a locking member that engages the jamb liner when it is rotated to the locking position. A small spring disposed between the first and second members normally urges the second member into the locking position when the sash is removed. The sash pin engages the second member when the sash is in its sliding position causing the small spring to yield and to attract the second member from the locking position.
