Abstract
A medical device control unit may include at least one processing device, a circuit electrically coupled to the at least one processing device, and a flexible housing configured to contain the at least one processing device and the circuit. The flexible housing may include at least one connection portion configured to engage a connector protruding from a flexible carrier, and at least one electrical contact electrically coupled to the circuit and configured to establish an electrical connection with an exposed electrical contact on the flexible carrier when the connection portion is engaged with the at least one connection portion.
Claims28
A control unit for attachment to a subject, the control unit comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- a circuit electrically coupled to the at least one processing device;
- a flexible housing configured to contain the at least one processing device and the circuit, the flexible housing including:
- a connection portion configured to releasably engage a connector protruding from a flexible carrier;
- and
- at least two electrical contacts exposed on a planar surface of the flexible housing distinct from the connection portion, the at least two electrical contacts being electrically coupled to the circuit and configured so that at least one of the two electrical contacts establishes an electrical connection with an exposed electrical contact on a planar surface of the flexible carrier distinct from the connector, when the connector is engaged with the connection portion, wherein the flexible housing is configured to maintain the electrical connection during rotation of the flexible housing with respect to the flexible carrier when the connector is engaged with the connection portion.
A control unit, comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- a circuit electrically coupled to the at least one processing device;
- a flexible housing configured to contain the at least one processing device and the circuit, the flexible housing including:
- a connection portion located in a center portion of the flexible housing and configured to engage a connector protruding from a flexible carrier configured to have a perimeter larger than a perimeter of the flexible housing;
- and
- at least one electrical contact on a planar surface of the flexible housing distinct from the connection portion, the at least one electrical contact being electrically coupled to the circuit and configured to establish an electrical connection with an exposed circular electrical contact on a planar surface of the flexible carrier distinct from and surrounding the connector, when the connector is engaged with the connection portion,
- wherein the at least one processing device and the circuit are contained in a flexible portion of the flexible housing.
