Miniature Implantable Array And Stimulation System Suitable For Eyelid Stimulation

View page
US Patent:
6792314, Sep 14, 2004
Filed:
May 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/160804
Inventors:
Charles L. Byers - Canyon Country CA
Kate E. Fey - Valencia CA
Ralph M. Weisner - Woodland Hills CA
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Valencia CA
International Classification:
A61N 105
US Classification:
607 53, 607116, 607141
Abstract:
An implantable miniature eyelid electrode apparatus that causes a paralyzed eyelid to close or open by passing an electrical stimulating current to a nerve or muscle, is comprised of a longitudinally flexible, nonconductive body containing electrodes that pass an electrical signal to the nearby nerve or muscle, which closes or opens the eyelid. The apparatus is electrically actuated by a source that may be located remotely from the apparatus. The electrical signal passes along wires from the source to the apparatus. The apparatus is biocompatible with the environment in the living tissue and is electrically insulated from the surrounding tissue, except where the electrodes contact the living tissue. The apparatus is very small and is not obvious to visual inspection when implanted.

US Patent:
6935897, Aug 30, 2005
Filed:
Jan 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/759340
Inventors:
David L. Canfield - Lake Hughes CA, US
Charles L. Byers - Canyon Country CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Valencia CA
International Classification:
H01R013/66
H01R033/945
US Classification:
439620
Abstract:

The connector () is an elastic material, such as silicone, that is both compatible with the environment and is an electrical insulator. It forces contact between the electrical device () and integral contacts () in the connector () by virtue of its elasticity. The electrodes () and the electrical connections are protected from the environment to avoid electrical leakage or corrosion of the electrodes ().

Manufacturing Method For A Ceramic To Metal Seal

View page
US Patent:
6986453, Jan 17, 2006
Filed:
Nov 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/714193
Inventors:
Guangqiang Jiang - Castaic CA, US
Kate E. Purnell - Valencia CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Santa Clarita CA
International Classification:
B23K 31/02
US Classification:
2281221, 2281241, 2281246, 2282341
Abstract:
The invention is a method of bonding a ceramic part to a metal part by heating a component assembly comprised of the metal part, the ceramic part, and a very thin essentially pure interlayer material of a compatible interlayer material placed between the two parts and heated at a temperature that is greater than the temperature of the eutectic formed between the metal part and the metal interlayer material, but that is less than the melting point of either the interlayer material, the ceramic part or the metal part. The component assembly is held in intimate contact at temperature in a non-reactive atmosphere for a sufficient time to develop a hermetic and strong bond between the ceramic part and the metal part. The bonded component assembly is optionally treated with acid to remove any residual free nickel and nickel salts, to assure a biocompatible component assembly for implantation in living tissue.

US Patent:
6989200, Jan 24, 2006
Filed:
Oct 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/697149
Inventors:
Charles L. Byers - Canyon Country CA, US
Guangqiang Jiang - Castaic CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Santa Clarita CA
International Classification:
B32B 15/04
B32B 15/16
B23K 1/00
B23K 103/08
B23K 103/16
US Classification:
428621, 428632, 428635, 428661, 428670, 428680, 2281221, 2281246, 228245, 228246, 2282481, 2282621, 228 563
Abstract:
The invention is a method of bonding a ceramic part to a metal part by heating a component assembly comprised of the metal part, the ceramic part, and a compatible interlayer material such as titanium-nickel alloy placed between the two parts and heated at a temperature that is greater than the eutectic temperature of the interlayer material, where alloys, intermetallics or solid solution formed between the metal part and the metal interlayer material, but that is less than the melting point of either the ceramic part or the metal part. The component assembly is held in intimate contact at temperature in a non-reactive atmosphere for a sufficient time to develop a hermetic and strong bond between the ceramic part and the metal part. The bonded component assembly is optionally treated with acid to remove unwanted materials, to assure a biocompatible component assembly for implantation in living tissue.

Non-Destructive Method Of Predicting Performance Of Ceramic Components

View page
US Patent:
6997071, Feb 14, 2006
Filed:
Aug 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/651462
Inventors:
Guangqiang Jiang - Castaic CA, US
Kate E. Purnell - Valencia CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Joseph H. Schulman - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Santa Clarita CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/00
US Classification:
73866
Abstract:
The invention is a method of qualifying an implantable ceramic component made of high-purity dense yttria tetragonal zirconium oxide polycrystal (Y-TZP) by application of non-destructive tests. Specifically, a qualified Y-TZP ceramic component or witness sample is examined by X-ray diffraction to determine the initial monoclinic phase content. The component or witness sample is exposed to steam at 127 C. for a predetermined period of time, preferably six hours. The monoclinic phase content is determined for the post-exposure sample. The absolute difference between the initial monoclinic phase content and the post-exposure monoclinic phase content is calculated by difference. If the difference is less than 2. 1% the sample is accepted. In an alternate embodiment, the components that pass the screening test are examined by ultrasonic testing to evaluate soundness of the ceramic component.

US Patent:
7157150, Jan 2, 2007
Filed:
Apr 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/823963
Inventors:
Guangqiang Jiang - Santa Clarita CA, US
Attila Antalfy - Castaic CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research - Santa Clarita CA
International Classification:
B32B 5/16
B32B 7/04
B32B 15/16
B32B 15/28
B23K 1/00
B23K 103/24
US Classification:

Abstract:
A method of bonding a stainless steel part to a titanium part by heating a component assembly comprised of the titanium part, the stainless steel part, and a compact titanium-nickel filler material placed between the two parts and heated at a temperature that is less than the melting point of either the stainless steel part or the titanium part. The compact filler material is made of particles, preferably spheres, of discrete layers of nickel and titanium metal that react with each other and with the stainless and titanium parts to form a strong assembly when thermally processed. The component assembly is held in intimate contact at temperature in a non-reactive atmosphere for a sufficient time to develop a hermetic and strong bond between the stainless steel part and the titanium part.

Piezoelectric Device Mounted On Integrated Circuit Chip

View page
US Patent:
7271525, Sep 18, 2007
Filed:
Apr 20, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/111306
Inventors:
Charles L. Byers - Canyon Country CA, US
Joseph H. Schulman - Santa Clarita CA, US
Gary D. Schnittgrund - Granada Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation For Scientific Research - Santa Clarita CA
International Classification:
H01L 41/08
US Classification:
310330, 310344, 310345
Abstract:
An electronics filter circuit includes an electromechanical resonator that is mounted directly to the surface of a silicon integrated circuit, rather than being a surface mounted or leaded filter can on a circuit board. This filter circuit allows the integrated circuit electronic package to be significantly smaller than a conventional electromechanical resonator package. The electromechanical resonator may be protected during processing and during use with a protective cover that is made of a material such as titanium. The protective cover is attached to the integrated circuit chip.
