HERMETIC CHAMBER WITH ELECTRICAL FEEDTHROUGHS

摘要

A hermetically sealed pressure cavity (52) from the exterior environment operable to communicate with external devices via electrical feedthroughs (64,65,80,82). Sensor components (56,57) are configured to receive power and return information through direct electrical contact with external electronics. The pressure cavity (52) and sensor components (56,57) disposed therein are hermetically sealed from ambient pressure. The sensor is designed for harsh and biological environments, e g, intracorporeal implantation and in vivo use.
