A one-piece cylindrical bandstop filter for medical lead systems incorporates parallel capacitive and inductive elements in a compact cylindrical configuration. The compact cylindrical configuration of the bandstop filter does not add significantly to the size or weight of the medical lead system. Preferably, the bandstop filters are of biocompatible materials or hermetically sealed in biocompatible containers. The parallel capacitive and inductive elements are placed in series with the medical lead system, and are selected so as to resonate at one or more selected frequencies, typically MRI pulsed frequencies.

Chip capacitors 20 are provided in a printed circuit board 10. In this manner, the distance between an IC chip 90 and each chip capacitor 20 is shortened, and the loop inductance is reduced. In addition, the chip capacitors 20 are accommodated in a core substrate 30 having a large thickness. Therefore, the thickness of the printed circuit board does not become large.

A microwave tunable filter having some advantages as follows: a) the integration of MEMS tunable filter and MMIC; b) the very low signal transmission loss and low dispersion; and c) the drastic variation and linear characteristic of frequency by means of MEMS capacitor and an external control signal. The microwave tunable MEMS filter includes a plurality of unit resonant cells, each unit resonant cell being formed by various serial and parallel combination of an inductor, a capacitor, a transmission line, and a variable MEMS capacitor, whereby capacitance variation of the variable MEMS capacitor in the unit resonant cell converts a resonant frequency of the unit resonant cell to thereby convert a center frequency of the filter.

An elevated feedthrough is attachable to a top or a side of an active implantable medical device. The feedthrough includes a conductive ferrule and a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate is defined as comprising a body fluid side and a device side disposed within the conductive ferrule. The dielectric substrate includes a body fluid side elevated portion generally raised above the conductive ferrule. At least one via hole is disposed through the dielectric substrate from the body fluid side to the device side. A conductive fill is disposed within the at least one via hole forming a hermetic seal and electrically conductive between the body fluid side and the device side. A leadwire connection feature is on the body fluid side electrically coupled to the conductive fill and disposed adjacent to the elevated portion of the dielectric substrate.

The quick recharge energy storage device has a sufficient capacity due to the combination of a micro-battery and at least one micro-supercapacitor connected between two terminals of an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit, powered by the micro-battery, monitors high-speed (less than one second) charge of the micro-supercapacitors from an external energy source. The micro-supercapacitor can be connected in parallel with the micro-battery so as to subsequently recharge the micro-battery during the necessary time. The micro-battery provides a sufficient energy capacity, while the micro-supercapacitors allow high recharging speeds compatible with various applications (smart cards, smart labels, micro-system power supply, etc . . . ). The micro-battery and micro-supercapacitors are preferably formed on the same substrate, either side by side or stacked. Series connection of several micro-supercapacitors provides sufficient voltage for charging the micro-battery.

One or more inductors and one or more capacitors are physically disposed relative to one another in series and are electrically connected to one another in parallel to form a bandstop filter. Chip inductors and chip capacitors having spaced apart conductive terminals are physically arranged in end-to-end abutting relation to minimize electrical potential between adjacent conductive terminals. The bandstop filter may be hermetically sealed within a biocompatible container for use with an implantable lead or electrode of a medical device. The values of the inductors and the capacitors are selected such that the bandstop filter is resonant at one or more selected frequencies, such as an MRI pulsed frequency.
