Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A motor vehicle fuel tank and a method of making a motor vehicle fuel tank is provided. In particular, a twin sheet thermoformed plastic fuel tank or other plastic container including a hollow plastic tank body having a first shell portion and a second shell portion is fused together to form a seam. A pair of thermoplastic sheets are vacuum-formed at an elevated forming temperature in upper and lower mold cavities of a molding apparatus to the shape of upper and lower shells. The mold cavities are closed together to form the hollow tank body by fusion bonding the upper and lower shells at respective attachment flanges on each. A method of automated, manual or combination automated/manual manufacture of the fuel tank of the present invention is also provided.

Abstract: A sunlit world globe provides a realistic and constantly accurate day/night pattern on the surface of the globe. The globe employs an internal, rotating baffle for a light source. The baffle rotates with respect to a semi-transparent shell constituting a planetary model. The shell has an aperture at the bottom so that a motor, fixed to a frame can rotate the baffle through an axle. The shell pivots about a horizontal axis .+-.23.5 degrees to simulate the earth's orbit around the sun. An adjustment mechanism positions the polar axis of the earth with respect to an imaginary, ecliptic plane appropriately for the current time of year. In an alternate embodiment, the globe rotates with respect to the frame. The frame carries an arch having a day/night demarcation.
