  • Patent number: 11938329
    Abstract: Implantable medical devices include circuitry positioned adjacent to header-related structures, rather than having the header and related structures sitting atop the position of the circuitry within a device housing. A circuit board within the device housing may be positioned adjacently to a lead bore of the header. Feedthrough conductors may extend from the circuitry to conductors of the header while being positioned adjacently to the circuit board. Lead frame conductors may extend to the electrical connectors of the lead bores while also being adjacent to the upper portion of the circuitry. Device height may be reduced by having the circuitry be positioned adjacent to one or more of the various header-related structures.

  • Publication number: 20230293897
    Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) including an insulating frame defining a drop-in coil channel adjacent a perimeter of the insulating frame, a rechargeable power source configured to supply power for the implantable medical device, a secondary coil including a first and a second wire end, where the secondary coil is received within the drop-in coil channel and is configured to inductively couple with a primary coil of an external charging device to transcutaneously charge the rechargeable power source. The IMD also includes a circuit board attached to the insulating frame and a pair of electrical connectors each having a respective first arm that is electrically coupled to the respective first and second wire ends of the secondary coil and respective second arm that is electrically coupled to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 9038796
    Abstract: A shaped block for positioning and/or holding a plurality of line sections of one or more electric lines along the track of a vehicle includes a plurality of recesses and/or projections. Edges of the recesses and/or the projections each delimit a space for the line sections into which one of the line sections can be introduced, so that said line section extends through the space in a longitudinal direction of the space. The longitudinal directions of the spaces delimited by the edges of the recesses and/or by the projections extend essentially mutually parallel in a common plane.

  • Publication number: 20120261482
    Abstract: A track for track bound vehicles, in particular for light rail vehicles. Includes a support element for supporting an electric conductor arrangement, which is adapted to produce an alternating electromagnetic field and—thereby—to transfer electromagnetic energy vehicle on the track. The support element confines spaces for receiving lines and/or wires of the conductor arrangement. An electrically conductive shield for shielding the alternating electromagnetic field extends along a plane below the spaces. A housing for receiving a power supply device for supplying electric power to the conductor arrangement is also provided.
