    Abstract: A system for interfacing an in-body medical device with an external network includes a subdermal wideband on-body network (WON) hub, which in turn includes a hub rechargeable battery, a hub processor coupled to the hub rechargeable battery, a device interface configured to communicate with the in-body medical device, and coupled to the hub processor, and a hub-satellite near field communications wireless interface coupled to the hub processor. The system also includes a wearable WON server that in turn includes a server processor, a server-satellite interface coupled to the server processor, and an external network interface coupled to the server processor. The server processor implements a software controller; and a skin-mountable WON tethered satellite that includes a wired satellite-server interface, coupled to the wearable WON server, and a tethered satellite near-field communications (NFC) wireless interface, configured to communicate with the hub-satellite NFC wireless interface, and coupled to the wired satellite-server interface.

    Abstract: Various embodiments process semiconductor devices. In one embodiment, a release layer is applied to a handler. The release layer comprises at least one additive that adjusts a frequency of electro-magnetic radiation absorption property of the release layer. The additive comprises, for example, a 355 nm chemical absorber and/or chemical absorber for one of more wavelengths in a range comprising 600 nm to 740 nm. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is bonded to the handler. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is packaged while it is bonded to the handler. The release layer is ablated by irradiating the release layer through the handler with a laser. The at least one singulated semiconductor device is removed from the transparent handler after the release layer has been ablated.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a micro-battery is provided. The method includes forming a micro-battery device by forming a first metal anode via and a first metal cathode via in a first substrate, forming a first metal layer on a bottom side of the first substrate, forming a first battery element on a top side of the substrate, forming an encapsulation layer around the first battery element, forming trenches through the encapsulation layer and the first substrate on different sides of the first battery element, and forming a metal sealing layer in the trenches to cover at least a plurality of sidewall surfaces of the first battery element. The metal sealing layer is electrically connected to the battery element through the first metal layer and the first metal cathode via.

    Abstract: Microbatteries and methods for forming microbatteries are provided. The microbatteries and methods address at least one or both of edge sealing issues for edges of a stack forming part of a microbatteries and overall sealing for individual cells for microbatteries in a batch process. A transferable solder molding apparatus and sealing structure are proposed in an example to provide a metal casing for a solid-state thin-film microbattery. An exemplary proposed process involves deposition or pre-forming low-temperature solder casing separately from the microbatteries. Then a thermal compression may be used to transfer the solder casing to each battery cell, with a handler apparatus in a batch process in an example. These exemplary embodiments can address the temperature tolerance constrain for solid state thin film battery during handling, metal sealing, and packaging.

    Abstract: Thin Film Batteries are made of battery layers. Each battery layer has a substrate with one or more battery structures on the substrate surface. The battery structures have a first electrode connection and a second electrode, a first electrode (e.g. a cathode or anode) is electrically connected to the first electrode connection and a second electrode (e.g. an anode or cathode) is electrically connected to the second electrode connection. An electrolyte is at least partial disposed between and electrically connected to the first and second electrodes. A first edge connection on one of the substrate edges is physically and electrically connected to the first electrode connection. A second edge connection on one of the substrate edges is physically and electrically connected to the second electrode connection. An electrically insulating lamination is disposed on the substrate and covers the components except for the first and second edge connections, connected to respective battery electrodes. A first stack external connection electrical connects two or more of the first edge connections and a second stack external connection electrical connects two or more of the second edge connections. A first and second battery pole are connected to the respective first and second stack external connections. The TFBs are hermetically sealed.

    Abstract: A magnetic tracking apparatus, method, system and computer program product for magnetically encoding pills are provided. A pill feeder includes a first valve controlling an opening of the pill feeder. A chamber is arranged in communication with an outlet of the pill feeder, and a second valve when closed retains the pill within the chamber, and when open communicates with a passageway for the pill to exit the chamber. A microcontroller is configured to control operation of the first valve and the second valve. A magnetic nano-particle applicator deposits bio-compatible nano-magnetic particles in a magnetic pattern onto a surface of the pill within the chamber. A system for detection of the pill includes a wearable patch or article including a magnetic reader to read the magnetic pattern on a coated pill when consumed by the patient.
