  • Patent number: 7722987
    Abstract: A battery having a housing assembled from multiple parts, of which one housing part is implemented like a vessel having an initially open front side and the other housing part is a closure part, which closes the vessel-like housing part on its initially open front side, and having at least one first and at least one second electrode, each of which is formed by a planar material, of which the first electrode is electrically connected to an electrically conductive housing part of the battery, while the second electrode is electrically connected to an electrically conductive contact, which is electrically insulated from the remaining housing, the battery comprising a molded part which is provided with at least one first recess for receiving and positioning at least one section of the first electrode or the first electrodes at a time.

  • Publication number: 20060085044
    Abstract: An electromedical implant is disclosed comprising a housing which is hermetically sealed off to the outside; a power supply unit comprising a first shell with a first electrically conductive main surface and a first side wall, and a second shell comprising a second main surface and a second side wall which is embedded into the housing that is hermetically sealed off to the outside; a control unit that is electrically connected to the power supply unit; a header for contacting electrode lines, feedthroughs for leading away therapeutic pulses or pulse sequences from the housing that is hermetically sealed off to the outside. In this embodiment the electrical control unit is electrically connected to the power supply unit in a two-pole arrangement; the second main surface of the power supply unit has at least 0.7 times the surface of the base surface of the housing of the electromedical implant, which housing is hermetically sealed off to the outside; and the height of the power supply unit is at most 0.
