The primary isolated part includes a driver coil array magnetically coupled to a mat of hexagonally packed primary coils. Power is injected by the driver coils into the transmitter coils in the transmitter mat to maintain resonance in the presence of losses and power drawn by the receiver coil from the magnetic field. The implanted secondary isolated part includes a receiver coil magnetically coupled to a load coil. A rectification/filter system is connected to the load coil supplying DC power to the electronic circuits of the implant.

Electrode systems have been developed for use in perfusion systems to measure the electrical activity of an explanted heart and to provide defibrillation energy as necessary.

An interconnection system that includes a daughter card and backplane electrical connectors, each mounted to a printed circuit board at a connector footprint. The backplane connector has conductive elements with transition regions that allow the mating contact portions to be positioned on a uniform pitch while contact tail portions can be shaped to improve signal integrity or to provide a more compact and/or mechanically robust footprint. The conductive elements in both connectors are configured such that the contact tails of the ground conductors align from column to column, but the planar portions of the ground conductors in one column align with a pair of signal conductors in the other column, which improves mechanical and signal integrity. Mechanical integrity may be improved by forming the connector footprints with pads for the ground conductors that span multiple columns.

The invention relates to an oral hygiene kit, comprising a case having a cover and a storage compartment for housing any or all oral hygiene devices, the case having an aperture or a plurality of apertures to provide ventilation and an outlet for draining trapped liquid inside the case. The oral hygienic devices are restrained and secured at the storage compartment by several means and the kit is made compact for easy handling by making the oral hygiene devices smaller, especially the toothbrush, which minimizes the size of the case holding the kit. One method of making the toothbrush smaller thereby minimizing the size of the case is to provide a toothbrush with uncovered bristles having handles that can be shortened at will. Some examples of restraining and securing means for the oral hygiene devices are a pair of fence, a clip, a secure structure or a hook and loop fastener. The plurality of apertures in the case are in one location or evenly spread out on a bottom surface of the storage compartment or at a top surface of the cover. The case and the secure structure can be made of plastic, blended polymeric material, metal, natural leather, synthetic leather, and wood. The cover of the case can be partially or wholly transparent. A blade made of plastic, wood and metal is fastened into the case for cutting dental flosses.

A method of heat sink manufacture in which the crests of a conductive fin are nested down into close fitting grooves in a flat, conductive base plate, with small interface gaps G. A compressive material is set inside the fin crests and the grooves, viscous enough to not intrude into the gaps G, to a level sufficient to substantially fill the grooves. The work piece thus created is subjected to a cold hydrostatic oil bath, crushing the outer surfaces of the fin crests into the internal surfaces of the grooves where the compressed seal covers, while the rest of the fin is supported against net deformation by the surrounding oil.

A waist training device includes unit members of arc shaped and adapted to be assembled as a ring. The inner diameter of the ring is determined by the number of the unit members.

An insulated cooking utensil has a first pan with a cooking surface, a second pan having a shape corresponding to the first pan, and an alignment structure for aligning the first pan relative to the second pan when the pans are assembled together. The alignment structure allows the first and second pans to be separated from each other. The cooking utensil is convertible between a first configuration in which the first pan is nested with the second pan with an insulating air chamber interposed between the first and second pans, and a second configuration in which the second pan is turned upside down and placed over the first pan as a protective cover. A locking structure can be used to releasably secure the first and second pans together in the first and second configurations. Additional pans can be interchanged with the first pan to provide a different shaped cooking surface.
