The second low impedance electrical connection may include an oxide-resistant electrical connection forming the hermetic seal between the insulator and the ferrule or housing and an electrical connection between and to the second end metallization and directly to the oxide-resistant electrical connection. Alternatively, the second low impedance electrical connection may include an oxide-resistant metal addition attached directly to the ferrule or housing and an electrical connection between and to the second end metallization and directly to the oxide-resistant metal addition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2014Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: GREATBATCH LTD.Inventors: Thomas Marzano, Robert A.

Publication number: 20140158422Abstract: A cable bushing assembly and a method of sealing a cable penetration through a housing are provided. The bushing assembly includes an interior shell, a central cavity and at least one aperture between a first face and a second face. At least one cable passes through the bushing assembly. The bushing assembly also includes an exterior shell at least partially circumscribing the interior shell. A clasp is located between the interior shell and the exterior shell to prevent separation of the exterior shell from the interior shell. Packing material seals the at least one cable within the interior shell. A method of sealing a cable penetration includes providing a housing with an opening, inserting a bushing assembly into the opening, and securing the cable bushing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Kai Fan, Liangjun Qiu, Ting Xu

Publication number: 20140151114Abstract: A hermetic feedthrough for an implantable medical device includes an insulator body and a ferrule. The insulator body includes ceramic material and one or more electrically conductive conduits extending through the insulator body. The insulator is disposed in an opening of the ferrule. The insulator body includes a plurality of substantially flat surfaces that each include a plurality of edges. A rounded corner extends between adjacent edges of any two adjacent substantially flat surfaces. Each corner between any two adjacent substantially flat surfaces that face toward the ferrule has an average radius that is less than approximately 25% of a length of the corresponding edges.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicants: Medtronic, Inc., Kyocera CorporationInventors: Kengo Morioka, Keiichi Fujii, Arne Knudsen, Shingo Satou, Hidekazu Otomaru, Hiroshi Makino, Andrew Thom, Markus Reiterer, Gordon Munns, Thomas Miltich, Joyce Yamamoto
