  • Patent number: 11957918
    Abstract: An implantable electrical connector arrangement electrically connects a first electrical component and a second electrical component. The connector arrangement includes a first connector having a first terminal and a first coupling electrode connected to the first terminal and a second connector having a second terminal and a second coupling electrode connected to the second terminal. The first connector and the second connector are connectable to each other such that the first terminal and the second terminal are capacitively connectable via the first coupling electrode and the second coupling electrode in a connected state. A defined separation gap is formed between the first coupling electrode and the second coupling electrode in the connected state.

  • Patent number: 11785716
    Abstract: An implantable electrical connecting device includes a first elastic multi-ply layer and a second elastic multi-ply layer. The first elastic multi-ply layer has a first electrically conductive layer and a plurality of first electrical contacts electrically conductively connected to the first electrically conductive layer of the first elastic multi-ply layer. The second elastic multi-ply layer has a first electrically conductive layer and a plurality of second electrical contacts electrically conductively connected to the first electrically conductive layer of the second elastic multi-ply layer. The second electrical contacts make contact with the first electrical contacts.

  • Publication number: 20210346703
    Abstract: An adjustment aid includes a first adjustment electrode assembly having an excitation electrode and an evaluation electrode, a second adjustment electrode assembly having a reception electrode and a transmission electrode, and a control and evaluation circuit connected to the first adjustment electrode assembly. The first adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the first component. The second adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the second component. The control and evaluation circuit supplies the excitation electrode with an excitation signal and taps a measurement signal at the evaluation electrode. The measurement signal depends on a degree of overlap between the first adjustment electrode assembly and the second adjustment electrode assembly.
