| 20100296545 | TIME TEMPERATURE INDICATOR - The present invention is generally in the field of measuring and indicating techniques and relates to a time-temperature indicator and methods of manufacturing and use thereof. More specifically, the time-temperature indicator comprises a time temperature indicator comprising at least one metal layer or metal containing layer and in direct contact to the metal layer or to the metal containing layer at least one doped polymer layer, wherein the dopant is an acid, a base or a salt or a photolatent acid or a photolatent base which dopant is added to the polymer, and/or at least one polymer layer wherein a polymer is functionalized with acidic or latent acidic or basic or latent basic groups; or a time temperature indicator comprising at least one polymer layer containing metal particles and a photolatent acid or a photolatent base, or at least one polymer layer containing metal particles wherein the polymer is functionalized with latent acidic or latent basic groups. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110084128 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE CONDITION OF A TIME-TEMPERATURE INDICATOR - A device is presented for use in controlling the quality of a perishable object, while progressing on its supply line, by monitoring the condition of a time-temperature indicator (TTI) associated with the object. The device comprises a sensing assembly for detecting a response of the TTI to a predetermined stimulus and generating measured data representative thereof, said measured data being indicative of the condition of the TTI, thereby enabling the determination of the remaining shelf life of the TTI and thereby any perishable good to which it is attached and calibrated. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110155043 | TIME TEMPERATURE INDICATOR - The present invention is generally in the field of measuring and indicating techniques and relates to a time-temperature indicator and methods of manufacturing and use thereof. More specifically, the time-temperature indicator comprises at least one metal layer or metal containing layer, and in direct contact to the metal layer or to the metal containing layer at least one pad member affixed onto a pad carrier layer, | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110112614 | FIBER REINFORCED SILICONE FOR CARDIAC AND NEUROSTIMULATION LEADS - A least a portion of a lead body includes a fiber reinforced silicone elastomer. The fiber reinforced silicone elastomer comprises a uniform dispersion of discrete fibers having a random orientation. The fiber reinforced silicone elastomer may demonstrate an improvement in mechanical properties such as, for example, stiffness and strength, when compared to an analogous non-reinforced silicone elastomer. As a result, lead bodies having reduced outer diameters may be fabricated without a decrease in the overall mechanical strength and stiffness of the material. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110156306 | IMPLANTABLE LEADS WITH A UNITARY SILICONE COMPONENT - A method of manufacturing a medical electrical lead includes molding a lead body pre-form, stringing an electrode onto the pre-form and overmolding the pre-form with a polymer to form a lead body portion. The pre-form has a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends. At least one asymmetric region of the pre-form has a transverse cross-section that has a non-circular outer dimension. The overmolding causes the asymmetric region to become substantially circular. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110160825 | IMPLANTABLE LEADS WITH A CONDUCTOR COIL HAVING TWO OR MORE SECTIONS - Various coiled conductors having two or more sections and methods and devices for constructing such conductors are disclosed. The various embodiments of coiled conductors and related methods include two or more sections that can have different mechanical, structural, and/or electrical characteristics. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110160830 | IMPLANTABLE LEADS WITH AN AXIAL REINFORCEMENT MEMBER - Implantable electrical leads including an axial reinforcement member are disclosed. In some embodiments, an implantable electrical lead can have a body, one or more electrodes, a cable conductor, a conductor coil, and a reinforcement member. A cable conductor can be disposed within the body and is configured to convey electrical signals between the proximal region and the distal region of the lead. The reinforcement member may be coupled to or integrally formed within the lead body and is configured to limit elongation of the lead body in response to a tensile force. | 06-30-2011 |
