Abstract:

A capacitively sensed micromachined component includes an electrically insulative substrate ( ) having a first side ( ) and a second side ( ) opposite the first side. The component also includes a first layer ( ) adjacent to the second side of the electrically insulative substrate where at least a first portion of the first layer located adjacent to the second side of the electrically insulative substrate is infra-red light absorbing and is also electrically conductive. The component further includes a diffusion and chemical barrier layer ( ) encapsulating the first layer and the electrically insulative substrate. The component still further includes a capacitively sensed micromachined device ( ) on the diffusion and chemical barrier layer.

US Classification:

361302, 361307, 3613061, 607 5

Abstract:

A feedthrough assembly for guiding a plurality of terminal pins through the housing of an implantable medical device. The feedthrough assembly comprises a ferrule fixedly coupled to the housing and having an aperture therethrough, and a non-conductive supporting structure fixedly coupled to the plurality of terminal pins and disposed within the aperture. The supporting structure is configured to guide the plurality of terminal pins through the ferrule. A plurality of capacitors, which is fewer in number than the plurality of terminal pins, is fixedly coupled to the supporting structure and electrically coupled between the ferrule and selected ones of the plurality of terminal pins.

International Classification:

G01R031/02

US Classification:

324/754000

Abstract:

A method for making a probe finger structure including the steps of providing a wafer or wafer portion having an upper layer, a lower layer and an insulating or etch stop layer located between the upper and lower layers.
