摘要:
The present invention relates to microscission methods and devices used for the manipulation or modification of the body tissue by the formation of microconduits in a tissue. The term “microconduit” refers to a small opening, channel, or hole into, or through, a tissue, that allows transfer of materials by liquid flow, and by electrophoresis, the microconduit being formed upon impact of a plurality of accelerated microparticles with the surface of the tissue. This process of “microscission” comprises forming at least one microconduit in tissue including the steps of: accelerating a plurality of microparticles to a velocity that causes the microparticles to penetrate a region of tissue surface upon impingement of the microparticles on the tissue surface; and directing the microparticle towards the region of tissue surface, thereby causing the microparticles to penetrate the tissue and form a microconduit in the tissue.
摘要:
A method of producing interlayer conductive paths having substantially planar top surfaces in a multilayer integrated circuit structure, comprising the steps of forming elements of either a conductive or semiconductive material as a lower layer, depositing an insulative layer on top of the lower layer elements, implanting ions into one or more selected regions of the insulative layer, forming at least one upper conductor over the selected regions and sintering the integrated circuit structure sufficient to render the selected regions conductive. The invention also embraces an integrated circuit structures with interlayer conductive paths made in accordance with this method.

An interconnection system for high performance electronic hybrids employs micro-machined features on a substrate to connect directly to miniature electronic components, such as integrated circuits. The micro-machined features may include posts for connecting to bonding pads of standard components and may also include rails for alignment of components and connections to specially made components.

The present invention relates to methods and devices for formation of microconduits in tissue, particularly using an impedance sensing drill to form microconduits. One embodiment of the invention is an impedance sensing drill comprising a drilling assembly, a control module, mechanically connected to the drilling assembly for controlling the depth of drilling by the drilling assembly; and a sensor, electrically connected to the drilling assembly and control module for detecting a change in an electrical impedance of a material being drilled. Another embodiment is a method of forming a microconduit in a material, which comprises the steps of drilling into the material, monitoring an electrical impedance of the material, and stopping the drilling into the material when a change in the impedance is detected, thereby forming microconduit.

A blood glucose measuring device is equipped with a drill device, attachment assembly, and disposable sensing and measurement assembly. The attachment assembly contains an attachment ring that connects to the drill device and is used to hold the disposable sensing and measurement assembly. A detach actuating cam and output shaft are attached to the drill device. Spring tongs are attached to the output shaft by a compression ring further clamp to an end cap. A skin penetrator is attached to the end cap. The disposable sensing and measurement assembly is enclosed in a disposable case. An outer telescoping anti-bend tube is attached to the end cap. An inner anti-bend capillary sensor tube contains analyte sensors and is attached to the disposable case. The electrical conductors for the analyte sensor electrodes are attached to the capillary sensor tube and thus to the disposable case. An impedance sensing electrode on the bottom of the case provides electrical contacts to the skin. The electrical conductor to the impedance sensing electrode is attached to the bottom of the disposable case.
