  • Publication number: 20240244781
    Abstract: A medical device comprises a metal case having a hermetic seal; one or more Input/Output (I/O) conductors, wherein the I/O conductors pass through the hermetic seal such that a first end of the I/O conductors reside on a non-hermetic side of the hermetic seal and a second end of the I/O conductors reside on a hermetic side of the hermetic seal within the metal case; a ceramic substrate, wherein the one or more I/O conductors pass through the ceramic substrate and the ceramic substrate has a non-hermetic surface on a non-hermetic side of the hermetic seal; and wherein the non-hermetic surface of the ceramic substrate is a laser etched surface.

  • Publication number: 20240229064
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
