Abstract: Various embodiments of a hermetically-sealed package and a method of forming such package are disclosed. The package includes a housing that extends along a housing axis between a first end and a second end, where the housing includes first and second opaque portions and a transparent portion disposed between the first and second opaque portions. The first opaque portion is hermetically sealed to a first end of the transparent portion and the second opaque portion is hermetically sealed to a second end of the transparent portion. At least one of the first and second opaque portions is hermetically sealed to the transparent portion by a weld ring. The package further includes a power source disposed within the housing, and an inductive coil disposed at least partially within the transparent portion of the housing and electrically connected to the power source.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a hermetic assembly and a method of forming such assembly are disclosed. The hermetic assembly includes a dielectric substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a patterned layer connected to the first major surface of the dielectric substrate by a laser bond, and a ferrule having a body and a flange extending from the body. The flange is welded to a welding portion of the patterned layer that is disposed between the flange and the first major surface of the dielectric substrate such that the ferrule is hermetically sealed to the dielectric substrate.

Abstract: A system includes a lead with a balloon, wherein the lead defines an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the balloon. The system further includes an implantable medical device with a housing defining a fastener opening and a lead lumen. The lead lumen is configured to receive a proximal portion of the lead. The system further includes a fastener defining a fastener lumen. The fastener is configured to engage the fastener opening and the proximal portion of the lead to retain the proximal portion within the lead lumen. The fastener lumen is in fluid communication with the lead lumen and the inflation lumen, such that a pump in fluid communication with the fastener lumen inflates the balloon when the proximal portion of the lead is within the lead lumen.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) may include a plurality of coils that may be used to recharge a power supply of the IMD and/or provide telemetry for the IMD. The IMD may be configured to couple all of the coils in series, such that currents that are induced by each of the coils are added together when the IMD is exposed to an electromagnetic field. The IMD may be configured to alter the coupling of the coils such that the coils are coupled in series opposition, such that currents that are induced by some coils of the IMD are opposed by currents that are induced by other coils of the IMD.
