Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090092836GOLD NANOPARTICLE-HALLOYSITE NANOTUBE AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A gold nanoparticle-halloysite nanotube, on a surface of which a gold nanoparticle is formed, and a method for forming the same are disclosed. In order to form the gold nanoparticle on a surface of the halloysite nanotube, a gold salt is added to an agitated suspension solution. By the gold salt, a gold ion is formed on the surface of the halloysite nanotube. If the reducing agent is added to the halloysite nanotube on which the gold ion is formed, the gold ion is reduced into the gold nanoparticles. The formed gold nanoparticle has the very small size, and distributed on the surface of the halloysite nanotube. Accordingly, without the separate protective agent or the surface reformation, the gold nanoparticle may be easily formed.04-09-2009

20110159371IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE INCLUDING EDDY CURRENT REDUCING BATTERY - An implantable device, such as a pacer, defibrillator, or other cardiac rhythm management device, can include one or more MRI Safe components. In an example, the implantable device includes a battery including a first electrode and a second electrode separate from the first electrode. The second electrode includes a first surface and a second surface. The second electrode includes a slot through the second electrode from the first surface toward the second surface. The slot extends from a perimeter of the second electrode to an interior of the second electrode. The slot is configured to at least partially segment a surface area of the second electrode to reduce a radial current loop size in the second electrode.06-30-2011

20120057313PACKAGE FOR SYSTEM LEVEL ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS - Methods and arrangements for packaging system level electronics are described. In one aspect, an external skin of the package is formed from isolation paper. In some embodiments, the isolation paper is formed into a box. A printed circuit board is placed within the isolation paper skin and is substantially completely surrounded by a potting material that substantially completely fills the skin. The potting material is cured to solidify the potting material within the isolation paper box and to adhere the potting material to the isolation paper such that the isolation paper forms a skin for a brick of potting material that encapsulates the printed circuit board. The isolation paper skin includes at least one opening that permits an interconnect to be exposed through the skin. With this arrangement, a packaged electronics device is provided and the isolation paper forms the exposed outer surface of the packaged electronics device. The described package is particularly well suited for use in packaging system level power electronics such as power supplies.03-08-2012
