US Patent:
20060144827, Jul 6, 2006
Filed:
Dec 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/027352
Inventors:
Jason Papenfuss - Minneapolis MN, US
David Buendorf - Maple Grove MN, US
International Classification:
B23K 26/28
B23K 26/22
US Classification:
219121640

Welding Method Including Continuous Wave Welding And Pulse Welding For Component Of An Implatable Medical Device

View page
US Patent:
20130136979, May 30, 2013
Filed:
May 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/477886
Inventors:
Pankaj Mohan - Maple Grove MN, US
David J. Buendorf - Maple Grove MN, US
Jeffrey J. Louwagie - Minnetonka MN, US
Assignee:
MEDTRONIC, INC. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
H01M 2/08
H05K 7/00
B32B 1/06
H05K 5/00
B23K 11/00
B32B 7/04
US Classification:
429185, 219148, 428198, 428 341, 174 50, 361728
Abstract:
A component of an implantable medical device may include a first member, a second member, and a composite seam weld formed between the first member and the second member. In some examples, the composite seam weld includes a continuous wave (CW)-welded portion formed using CW welding and a pulse-welded portion formed using pulsed welding. A first end of the pulse-welded portion may partially overlap a first end of the CW-welded portion and may be offset from the first end of the CW-welded portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal orientation of the first end of the CW-welded portion. Techniques for forming composite seam welds are also described.

US Patent:
20130164582, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/332551
Inventors:
Seth M. Humphrys - Golden Valley MN, US
David J. Buendorf - Maple Grove MN, US
Hailing Zhao - Maple Grove MN, US
International Classification:
H01M 10/36
B23K 26/22
B23K 20/10
H01M 10/0587
US Classification:
429 94, 296231, 21912164, 2281101
Abstract:
An electric storage battery including a jelly roll type electrode assembly having a mandrel. The mandrel includes a positive portion, negative portion and removable portion. The mandrel has two faces with grooves dimensioned to accommodate positive and negative feedthrough pins. Electrodes are welded to the mandrel using an ultrasonic weld to the face on which the electrodes are attached. An additional weld is made to at least one ultrasonic weld using a through-mandrel laser weld, incident on the opposite face from which the ultrasonic weld. The laser melts the mandrel such that molten mandrel material fills the area under the foil at the area of the ultrasonic weld, the surface area of the foil being significantly increased by knurls formed by ultrasonic welding. Electrodes are wrapped around the mandrel using the removable portion to wind the mandrel. The mandrel allows tighter wrapping of the jelly roll assembly increasing battery miniaturization.
