Patent number: 11039775Abstract: A system for providing an electrical interface between a transducer and a transducer support device, the system comprising: a body mounted to the transducer support device, the body comprising an interface-to-transducer coupling region; a interface-to-electronics subsystem coupling region coupled to the body and contiguous with the interface-to-transducer coupling region, the system defining a fluid sealing region surrounding at least one of the interface-to-transducer and the interface-to-electronics subsystem coupling region; the system comprising an operation mode defining a sealed electrical pathway between the transducer and the transducer support device, wherein: the fluid sealing region is coupled to a complementary transducer sealing region, and the elastically deformable coupling region is biased against an electrical contact of the transducer with the fluid sealing region preventing fluid from reaching the electrical contact of the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Flow Neuroscience, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Wolber, Tal Bar-Or, Brett Wingeier, Ian Shain, Colin Davis, Victoria Hammett
