  • Minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation system
    Patent number: 11957893
    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.

  • Artificial turf system and support layer
    Patent number: 11946206
    Abstract: A synthetic turf system is disclosed. The synthetic turf system comprises a synthetic turf system and a poured-in-place (PIP) rubber subsurface. The PIP rubber subsurface is poured with a mixture of rubber buffing and urethane configured to deliver improved safety, playability, and reduced maintenance requirements for the synthetic turf placed on a playing surface. The PIP rubber subsurface is made with rubber buffings combined with a binder such as polyurethane. The system further comprises a layer of compacted gravel disposed underneath the PIP rubber subsurface configured to allow drainage. The system further comprises a plurality of cooling particle infill to avoid dislodging of infill into athlete's shoes, clothes, eyes, or ears. Further, the infill is substantially free of crumb rubber infill and the system is without the use of added shock pads. Further, the system is configured to maintain a consistent concussion resistance throughout the entire playing surface.
