Patents by Inventor Sandra J. Overkamp

Sandra J. Overkamp has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Cardiac rhythm management system having multi-capacitor module
    Patent number: 6477412
    Abstract: A multi-capacitor module carries vertically-oriented surface mount tantalum capacitors. The module provides at least one conductor for coupling to the substrate capacitor terminals that are distal thereto. The module occupies less space, when mounted to a circuit board substrate, than individually mounting the bases of the surface mount capacitors to the substrate. This allows more efficient use of volume within an implantable cardiac rhythm management device, reducing its size, or alternatively, increasing its implanted longevity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2002
    Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.
    Inventors: Nick A. Youker, Ronald L. Anderson, Sandra J. Overkamp
