    摘要: An electronic assembly with a sliding power connector mounted on a first substrate. The connector has tracks and terminals with contact fingers. A bus bar may be aligned by the tracks such that contact surfaces on the contact fingers press against contact surfaces on the bus bar. The electronic system may be implemented as a rack, and the electronic assembly may be or include a printed circuit board on which the power connector terminals are mounted. The printed circuit board may slide in and out of the rack while power is supplied from the bus bar to components on the printed circuit board. High reliability may be provided by one or more tabs on the housing that increase mating force of the contact fingers and/or prevent damage to the contact fingers from overstress. The contact fingers may be positioned to increase the lifetime of the system.

    摘要: A soft neural interface connector apparatus includes a PCB having a two-dimensional array of solder balls, a transparent top board, a cushioning layer on one side of the transparent top board, and a soft neural interface including a flexible and/or stretchable microelectrode array (MEA) through which neural signals are obtained or delivered. The MEA includes a two-dimensional array of contact pads corresponding to the array of solder balls. The PCB, the transparent top board, the cushioning layer, and the MEA are stacked together such that the MEA is between the cushioning layer and the PCB, and the contact pads are aligned with and in electrical contact with associated solder balls. A magnetic connector system having at least one magnetic connector component on the transparent top board is magnetically connected with at least one magnetic connector component on the PCB to press the contact pads and associated solder balls together.

    摘要: A robotic device includes a first robotic device including a first articulated arm, a first clamping mechanism, and a blow-out portion. The first clamping mechanism includes a first clamping claw and a second clamping claw. The first clamping claw is attached to the first articulated arm, and has a first support surface. The second clamping claw has a second support surface to face the first support surface in a first axial direction orthogonal to the first support surface. The second clamping claw is movable in the first axial direction relative to the first clamping claw. The blow-out portion is provided to any one of the first clamping claw or the second clamping claw. The blow-out portion is capable of blowing out fluid in a second axial direction orthogonal to the first axial direction.

    摘要: An electrical feedthrough assembly has a lower assembly having a first end and a second end. The lower assembly includes an outer body with a lower housing and an upper housing disposed within a bore of the outer body and a first conductor extending from the lower housing to the upper housing. Additionally, the lower housing extends axial outward from the outer body to form the first end and the upper housing extends axial outward from the outer body to form the second end. Further, the electrical feedthrough assembly has an upper assembly having body extending from a first end to a second end. The second body includes a pin end at the first end and the pin end is inserted into an opening of the second end of the lower assembly. A second conductor is disposed within the body. A chamber within the body holds the first conductor.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods are described for connecting multiple electrical connectors as a group with corresponding receiving sockets, or connection ports, in a medical device. A multiple electrical connector plate acts as an intermediate connector for quickly engaging or disengaging a group of electrodes with the corresponding device as a single unit. The connection plate includes multiple sections that allow a connector to be snapped securely in place on the connection plate such that the connector does not pull or push free from its snapped in location, resulting in group handling of electrical connectors that is less time consuming, reduces errors and positively impacts the quality of medical care.

    摘要: A board-to-board connection structure includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a connector. The first circuit board includes a first base layer and a first outer circuit layer. The second circuit board includes a second base layer and a second outer circuit layer. The connector electrically couples the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The connector includes a housing, a first electrical connection portion, and a second electrical connection portion. A side surface of the first circuit board includes a first conductive layer electrically coupled to the first outer circuit layer. The connector is coupled to the first conductive layer through the first electrical connection portion. The second circuit board is located in the housing, and the second electrical connection portion is electrically coupled to the second outer circuit layer.
