Patent number: 11964377Abstract: A tool arrangement includes a tool management device with a body and a lid which, by a hinge connection, is configured pivotably relative to the body for selectively covering or releasing a receiving space of the body, and a receiving device for receiving tool elements. The receiving device is mounted or mountable in the receiving space of the body such that, by the hinge connection, the receiving device is co-pivoted when the lid is pivoted. The lid is detachable from the hinge connection, such that, after detaching the lid from the hinge connection, the receiving device is pivotable by actuating the hinge connection without the lid.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Würth International AGInventors: Wolfgang Hohl, Marcel Hopf, Johannes Starke

Patent number: 7970474Abstract: A new hermetically-sealed contact feedthrough for cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators for the connection between internal device electronics and external components, a flat ceramic disk (1) being used as an insulating main carrier, in which openings (3) are situated, into which various electrode embodiments (4, 5, 6, 7) may be inserted as through contacts. Using a metal flange or metal-plated vapor deposition zone (2), the ceramic disk may be soldered directly onto the implant housing (11). In addition, active and passive auxiliary components (8) may be applied directly to the ceramic. The main carrier may be implemented as a multilayer ceramic (9), so that rewiring levels and shielding components (10) may be integrated in the feedthrough. The feedthrough according to the present invention allows novel construction variants, above all things having orientation to multipolar systems, through use of standardized ceramic semifinished products.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Biotronik CRM Patent AGInventor: Marcel Starke
