Title: Edward J. Harvey and an Implantable Sensor Assembly

Introduction

Edward J. Harvey is an inventor associated with Westmount, Canada. His patent work includes an implantable sensor assembly designed to support and protect a sensor while allowing it to detect conditions within the body.

Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent associated with Harvey: “Implantable Sensor Assembly Including a Sensor and a Compliant Structure.” The invention describes a support structure with a board and a compliant structure mounted on its top surface. The compliant structure holds a sensor above the board, while an aperture in the support structure exposes at least part of the sensor’s face.

The sensor may be a pressure sensor, with its sensing membrane exposed through the aperture. A stiffener can be mounted beneath the board, and the sensor assembly may be enclosed by a polymer shell with a conductive cover or by gel within a rigid cap. Connecting the conductive cover or cap to a conductive stiffener can create an electromagnetic shield. Harvey is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Harvey’s documented patent contribution focuses on the design of an implantable sensor assembly. The described features address sensor support, exposure of the sensing surface, structural reinforcement, and electromagnetic shielding.
