摘要： An implantable medical device and method are provided for implant within a patient. The device comprises a case. Radio frequency (RF) communication components are housed within the case. A header is mounted to an exterior surface of the case along an edge of the case. An antenna is coupled to the RF communication components. The antenna has an inverted E shape. The inverted E shaped antenna is within the header. The inverted E shaped antenna includes a conducting arm joined to first, second and third branches that are oriented within the header to extend toward the edge of the case underneath the header. The first branch of the antenna is conductively open and, no more than weakly coupled, with respect to the case. The second branch is located between the first and third branches. The second branch is configured to convey an RF signal feed. The third branch has a shunt to ground connection to the case. The case forms a ground plane for the antenna.

摘要： An implantable medical device including a can, a feedthrough and an antenna assembly. The can includes a lead connector assembly, electronics, and a metal wall defining a hermetic sealed compartment. The electronics and lead connector assembly are located in the hermetic sealed compartment. The feedthrough extends through the metal wall between the hermetic sealed compartment and exterior the metal wall. The antenna assembly includes an antenna extending along the metal wall in a spaced-apart manner from the metal wall and encased in a dielectric material. The dielectric material occupies a space between the antenna and the metal wall. The antenna is electrically connected to the electronics via an RF conductor of the feedthrough.

摘要： Methods for manufacturing implantable electronic devices include forming an antenna of the implantable electronic device by delivering an antenna trace within a dielectric antenna body. The antenna trace includes a first trace portion disposed in a first transverse layer and defining a first trace path and a second trace portion disposed in a second transverse layer longitudinally offset from the first transverse layer and defining a second trace path. If projected to be coplanar, the first trace path defines a trace boundary and the second trace path is within the trace boundary.

摘要： A header-less implantable medical device, system and method are provided. The device includes an electronics module including circuitry, a battery, a receptacle assembly having an interior chamber and a receptable inlet configured to receive a lead connector assembly. A device housing has a case body that includes side walls and a peripheral edge that defines a single common chamber. The electronics module, battery and receptacle assembly are provided within the single common chamber. A connector opening is provided in the case body and joined to the receptacle inlet to form a passage through the case body into the interior chamber of the receptacle assembly.

摘要： An electrolytic capacitor is disclosed having a housing in an arced-trapezoidal shape. Disposed within the housing are one or more anodes, one or more cathodes, one or more separators disposed between anodes that are adjacent anodes cathodes, and an electrolyte disposed around the one or more anodes, the one or more cathodes, and the one or more separators within the housing. The housing of the electrolytic capacitor includes front and back walls shaped as arced-trapezoids and four sidewalls that substantially follow the outline of the front and back walls. The electrolytic capacitor is configured to connect in series with one or more electrolytic capacitors of the same shape to form a capacitor assembly. In the capacitor assembly, electrolytic capacitors are placed such that sidewalls are adjacent to each other to form a D-shaped capacitor assembly.

摘要： Disclosed herein is an implantable electronic device having a housing containing an electrical circuit. The implantable electronic device further includes an antenna assembly coupled to the electrical circuit. The antenna assembly has an antenna with a dielectric antenna body within which an antenna trace is disposed. Portions of the antenna trace are disposed in offset transverse layers in a non-overlapping arrangement, thereby reducing capacitive coupling between the layers of the antenna trace. In certain implementations, the antenna assembly has one or more capacitive features that selectively overlap portions of the antenna trace and facilitate tuning of the antenna.
