Patent number: 9048541Abstract: The device includes radio frequency (RF) communication components installed within a case of the device and an antenna with an inverted E shape mounted within a header of the device. The antenna has three branches extending from a main horizontal arm: a capacitive branch connecting one end of the main arm to the case via a capacitive load; an RF signal feed branch connecting a middle portion of the main arm to the internal RF components of the device via a feedthrough; and an inductive branch connecting the opposing (far) end of the main arm to the case to provide a shunt to ground. The E-shaped configuration and the provision of capacitive loading allows for cancellation of inductance to bring the antenna into resonance and to provide optimal radiation efficiency as well as to provide for impedance with no reactive component.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: PACESETTER, INC.Inventors: Perry Li, Gabriel A.

Publication number: 20130248496Abstract: Disclosed herein is a resistance welding system for welding a ribbon to a bond site of a bond surface. The system includes a welding header, a bond header, a ribbon dispenser, a cutter, and a support surface. The welding header includes a resistance welding tip. The bond header includes a bond foot displaceable relative to the bond surface. The bond foot includes a welding aperture. The ribbon dispenser feeds the ribbon to the bond foot. The support surface is configured to support the bond surface. The bond foot is configured to press the ribbon against the bond site of the bond surface, which is thereby forced against the support surface. With the ribbon so pressed against the bond site, the system is configured to cause the welding tip to enter the welding aperture to resistance weld the ribbon to the bond site of the bond surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: PACESETTER, INC.Inventors: Reza Imani, Asghar Dadashian, Dro Darbidian, Hamid Habibi
