Abstract:
A cochlear implant device includes a deformable and stretchable flexible strip composed of a biological compatible material and positioned about a longitudinal axis so as to form a spiral. The implant device has a plurality of conductive strips with electrode windows formed so as to expose a segment of each conductive strip. A density of the electrode windows is sufficient to monitor a distance of the flexible strip from a non-conductive tissue of a patient in a 360 degree field of view about the longitudinal axis. A method of inserting a cochlear implant includes providing a multi-joint robot comprised of a series of actuator units, guiding the multi-joint robot into an inner ear of a patient, monitoring the position of the multi-joint robot relative to a non-conductive portion of the patient; and applying current to the multi-joint robot so as to adjust the position of the actuator units.
Abstract:
A bundled flexible flat circuit cable includes a flexible substrate that forms at least one cluster section having an end forming at least one first connection section and an opposite end forming at least one second connection section. Both the first and second connection sections or one of the first and second connection sections form a stack structure. The flexible substrate can be of a structure of single-sided or double-sided substrate and may additionally include an electromagnetic shielding layer. A bundling structure is provided to bundle the cluster section at a predetermined location to form a bundled structure. The bundling structure can be made of a shielding material, an insulation material, or a combination of shielding material and insulation material.
Abstract:
A method for forming a flexible printed circuit board is provided. First, an insulating substrate with a first side and a second side is provided. Second, a through hole connecting the first side and the second side is formed in the insulating substrate. Then, a printing step is carried out to print a conductive precursor which is on the first side and cover and fill the through hole. Later, the conductive precursor is cured to form a conductive composition and to simultaneously form a circuit to obtain a flexible printed circuit board. The conductive composition includes at least one of carbon and silver.
