  • Patent number: 4726378
    Abstract: An externally worn body device adapted to be magnetically held supercutaneously with a case being separable into first and second parts and being releasably secured together. The case contains a magnetic device for magnetically holding the case in a supercutaneous position with the magnetic field strength at the surface of the case adjacent to the supercutaneous position being adjustable. The magnetic device may also be adjustable in magnetic polarity. The externally worn body device may contain a transmitting coil positioned within the case for transmitting an electrical signal intended for transcutaneous reception. The externally worn body device may be combined with an implanted subcutaneous member which contains a magnetic device for providing an appropriate magnetic attraction to the corresponding supercutaneous magnetic device.

  • Patent number: 4485268
    Abstract: A sealing device for a wire splice. An insulative tube with a reservoir positioned transverse to and communicating with the insulative tube is adapted to receive a wire splice. A septum within the reservoir at least partially divides the reservoir substantially transverse to the insulative tube. An insulative fluid may then be forced through the reservoir into the insulative tube surrounding the wire splice. A connector for electrical wires is formed from a conductive tube adapted to receive the ends of the electrical wires to be connected and capable of being crimped onto the electrical wires. A sealing device may then be positioned over the conductive tube and an insulative viscous fluid may be forced through the reservoir into the insulative tube surrounding the conductive tube in order that the electrical wires may be electrically connected and insulated.
