  • Publication number: 20240165416
    Abstract: In some examples, an implantable medical device includes a battery, an electronics module electrically connected to the battery, and an elongated housing comprising a side wall positioned between the battery and an end cap, wherein the electronics module is positioned within the elongated housing between the battery and the end cap. The implantable medical device also includes an electrical contact assembly comprising a first spring contact and a second spring contact. The electrical contact assembly of the implantable medical device is positioned within the elongated housing between the electronics module and the battery or the end cap.

  • Publication number: 20240131625
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a hermetic assembly and a method of forming such assembly are disclosed. The hermetic assembly includes a dielectric substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a patterned layer connected to the first major surface of the dielectric substrate by a laser bond, and a ferrule having a body and a flange extending from the body. The flange is welded to a welding portion of the patterned layer that is disposed between the flange and the first major surface of the dielectric substrate such that the ferrule is hermetically sealed to the dielectric substrate.

  • Patent number: 10996309
    Abstract: This patent concerns a compact and portable system for real-time detection and location of electromagnetic emissions in the spectrum used by mobile devices (cell phones and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth devices). The principle of detection and location is based on phased array technology, which enables the synthesis of a directional radiation beam that can be electrically controlled in terms of both its shape and direction. This technology is used primarily in military and astronomical applications. The device also includes localization and control algorithms. This device will allow for detecting and locating electromagnetic emissions by means of an antenna beam scan within a field of view of 80×80 degrees. Once the detection and location have been established, the results are overlaid to a visual image captured by a video camera.
