An improved manufacturing and packaging process for optimizing the size of various implanted medical devices is disclosed. Specifically, complex shapes involving ceramic capacitors with various other shapes are manufactured to optimize fit and shapes within the device housing. The manufacturing process includes various techniques and electrode material selections, including manufacturing processes that enable high energy discharge capacitors to be made in compliant shapes to fit in small ICD footprints.
摘要:
A base includes apertures and surface features for precisely aligning central processing units (CPUs) and jackets with each other. Applicator heads are used to exert contact force against respective jackets during adhesive bonding to the CPUs. Each jacket functions as a gripping or handling feature during subsequent positioning or transport of the corresponding CPU. Such CPUs can be inserted into servers or other entities by way of automated mechanisms or manual operations with reduced risk of damage, misalignment or other problems.

摘要:
The invention describes the incorporation of surface irregularities into a loudspeaker diaphragm to control the resonances of diaphragm. Through the use of the described resonance control techniques, a single loudspeaker driver is able to offer excellent performance over a wide range of the audio spectrum. The randomness of the selected features is constrained within a set of boundary conditions to accomplish a balance of achieving the desired performance, as well as ensure that the device is practical to manufacture.
