| 20100211147 | ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING MATERIALS, LEADS, AND CABLES FOR STIMULATION ELECTRODES - One aspect is a stranded wire containing numerous coils. The stranded wire is configured as an electrical connection between an electrical stimulation device that is connected to the proximal end of the stranded wire, and an electrode connected to the distal end of the stranded wire. At least one coil includes a tantalum or niobium-based metal. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110034965 | CERMET-CONTAINING BUSHING FOR AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - One aspect relates to an electrical bushing for an implantable medical device, having an annulus-like holding element for holding the electrical bushing in the implantable medical device, whereby the holding element includes a through-opening, at least one elongated conduction element extends through the through-opening, and an insulation element for forming a hermetic seal between the holding element and the conduction element is arranged in the through-opening. One aspect provides for the at least one conduction element to include a cermet. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110034966 | ELECTRICAL BUSHING FOR AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - One aspect relates to an electrical bushing for an implantable medical device, having an annulus-like holding element for holding the electrical bushing in the implantable medical device, whereby the holding element includes a through-opening, at least one elongated conducting wire extends through the through-opening, and an insulation element for forming a hermetic seal between the holding element and the conducting wire is arranged in the through-opening. One aspect provides for a cermet-containing bearing element to be arranged between the insulation element and the conducting wire. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110129386 | USE OF POWDER-METALLURGICAL PRE-MATERIAL FOR PRODUCING AN NB ALLOY THAT IS FREE OF INCLUSIONS - One aspect discloses a method for producing an alloy, whereby the alloy consists of a first metal, a second metal, a third metal, and a fourth metal, and the first metal, the second metal, the third metal, and the fourth metal are selected from the group consisting of the metals, niobium, zirconium, tantalum, and tungsten, and the method includes the steps of

| 20110186349 | ELECTRICAL BUSHING WITH GRADIENT CERMET - One aspect relates to a method for producing an electrical bushing for an implantable device, an electrical bushing, and an implantable device. The method according to one embodiment includes forming a base body from a ceramic slurry and introducing a bushing conductor made of a metal powder, metal slurry, cermet powder and/or cermet slurry into the base body. The metal fraction in the bushing conductor is provided to decrease towards the base body. It includes sintering the green blank that includes the base body and the bushing conductor. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110190885 | METHOD FOR SINTERING ELECTRICAL BUSHINGS - One aspect relates to a method for producing an electrical bushing for an implantable device, a corresponding electrical bushing, and a corresponding implantable device. The method according to one embodiment is characterized in that a green blank is produced and sintered from an electrically insulating base body green blank made of a ceramic slurry or powder and at least one electrically conductive bushing body green blank made of a cermet material. The at least one bushing body green blank is inserted into a bushing opening of the base body green blank to form a composite green blank, a shape of the at least one bushing body green blank and a shape of the at least one bushing opening are complementary to each other at least in sections thereof and prevent slippage of the bushing body green blank through the bushing opening. The composite green blank is sintered while applying a force that keeps the bodies together. | 08-04-2011 |
