Title: Residential solar thermal power plant
Inventor: BENNETT CHARLES
IPC: F24S20/20

IPC: A61N1/378

Abstract: An improved structure for an implantable medical device, such as an implantable pulse generator, is disclosed. The improved device includes a charging coil for wirelessly receiving energy via induction from an external charger. The charging coil in the device is located substantially equidistantly from the two planar sides of the device case. Because the coil is substantially equidistant within the thickness of the case of the device, the device's orientation within the patient is irrelevant, at least from the standpoint of the efficiency of charging the device using the external charger. Accordingly, charging is not adversely affected if the device is implanted in the patient with the wrong orientation, or if the device flips within the patient after implantation. Moreover, because the central portion of the device naturally corresponds to the largest lateral extent within the case due to the case's curved edges, the charging coil can be made larger in area, which improves its gain vis-a-vis the external charger.

Abstract: During the joining of PTFE parts (10), a binder(20) is applied to the joint surfaces of the PTFE parts, e.g. by welding, before the parts are joined. By- establishing a bond between PTFE and binder in a separate, initial process, the parameters of this initial process may be determined regardless of other conditions, such as maintaining the dimensions, and the quality of this bond may be controlled and approved before the subsequent joining of the PTFE  parts. During the subsequent joining, the temperature may be kept at a level, which is sufficiently low so as not to deform the PTFE  material permanently, or the joining may be carried out by a process, which does not require heating, for example gluing.
