  • Patent number: 10277055
    Abstract: A system for wirelessly charging an electrical energy storage device such as an electrochemical cell or battery pack is described. The system comprises a transmitting base unit having a charging tray that is capable of wirelessly transmitting electrical power received from an external electrical energy source. In addition, the system comprises an electrical energy capture assembly that is electrically incorporatable with an energy storage device. The energy capture assembly comprises a receiving coil that is electrically connected to various sub-circuits that condition and modify the wirelessly received electrical energy so that it re-charges the energy storage device. The system is primarily designed to be used with electrical power that is wirelessly transmitted by near field magnetic induction. The circuitry of the system is designed to accommodate for fluctuations in magnitude of wirelessly transmitted electrical power.

  • Patent number: 9227052
    Abstract: In various examples, a neurostimulation interconnection apparatus apparatus includes a substrate disposed within a header of a neurostimulation device. A spring contact is mounted to the substrate. The spring contact is oriented to accept and apply a clamping force to a proximal contact of a lead body to electrically couple the proximal contact of the lead body with the spring contact with insertion of the proximal contact within the spring contact. A trace is disposed on the substrate from the spring contact to a pin of a feedthrough of the neurostimulation device. The trace electrically couples the spring contact with the pin of the feedthrough.
