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 door for an entryway includes an exterior-facing surface, an inner structure, and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism is connected to the inner structure and configured to be fastened or released for controlling access to the entryway. The door also includes a key-cylinder accessible from the exterior-facing surface and configured to selectively lock and unlock the latch mechanism. The door additionally includes a pawl configured to be rotated by the key-cylinder about a pivot axis, connected to the latch mechanism, and defining a pass-through aperture distal from the pivot axis. The door also includes a shield defining a shield attachment aperture and connected to the inner structure. The door further includes a security fastener to fix the shield relative to the key-cylinder at the shield attachment aperture and extending through the pass-through aperture without impeding the pawl's rotation or contacting the pawl as the pawl operates the latch mechanism.

Abstract: A vehicle having an active panel is disclosed. The vehicle defines a rearmost surface. The vehicle includes a frame defining a D-pillar, an active panel, and an actuation system. The active panel extends in a fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and covers at least a portion of the D-pillar. The active panel defines a trailing edge that is oriented towards an aft direction and is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The actuation system is operatively connected to the active panel and is configured to extend the active panel from the stowed position into the deployed position and from the deployed position into the stowed position. The trailing edge of the active panel is substantially aligned with the rearmost surface of the vehicle in the stowed position and extends beyond the rearmost surface of the vehicle in the deployed position.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a cabin, a controller, and a multi-view display. The multi-view display has a first side facing the cabin and a second side facing the exterior of the vehicle. The multi-view display has a first-side display screen, a second-side display screen, and a blocking layer disposed between the first-side display screen and the second-side display screen. The first-side display screen and the second-side display screen are in communication with the controller and operable to display a first pattern on the first-side display screen and a second pattern, distinct from the first pattern, on the second-side display screen.

Abstract: A method for bonding metal workpieces includes: (a) heating a plurality of metal workpieces until the metal workpieces are fully annealed; (b) applying pressure to the metal workpieces to compress the metal workpieces together while the metal workpieces are still heated until the metal workpieces fuse together; and (c) actively cooling the metal workpieces while the metal workpieces are compressed together to join the metal workpieces together.
