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: An apparatus for stunning poultry has a conveyor moving along a predetermined path, for suspending the poultry and a compartmentalized basin defining individual compartments for a conducting liquid. The basin is positioned below a portion of the conveyor. A circuit impresses a voltage across the conveyor and each of the individual compartments. The voltages are a function of the position of each of the compartments relative to the conveyor. The voltages are variable so as to produce a current regulated signal flowing between the conveyor and each of the individual compartments when the poultry is in contact with the conducting liquid in any of the individual compartments.

Abstract: An apparatus for stunning poultry has a conveyor moving along a predetermined path, for suspending the poultry and a compartmentalized basin defining individual compartments for a conducting liquid. The basin is positioned below a portion of the conveyor and moves at the same speed as the conveyor. A circuit senses the position of each of the compartments relative to a reference point. A circuit, responsive to the circuit for sensing, impresses a voltage across the conveyor and each of the individual compartments. The voltages are a function of the position of each of the compartments. The voltages are variable so as to produce a current regulated signal flowing between the conveyor and each of the individual compartments when the poultry is in contact with the conducting liquid in any of the individual compartments.

Abstract: The resolution of two asynchronous three-phase power sources such that an optimal phase to phase matchup may be made between them. This is achieved with a logic system that receives a data point at the zero-voltage crossings of the three waveforms from each source. The data points create distinct "states" of the three-phase waveform for each power source. There are six data points for each power source per cycle. The states of the load and source, along with information pertaining to the connection configuration of the present source of power to the load, are used to determine the optimum configuration for connecting an alternate or new source to the load based on information obtained from a lookup table.

Abstract: A high speed transfer switch is provided for transferring a multiphase load among a number of multiphase A.C. power sources. If the initially selected source deviates from desired limits, the transfer switch transfers the load to an alternate source on a phase-by-phase basis. Antiparallel-connected SCRs are used to allow the load current in each phase to commutate to zero before the load is transferred to the alternate power source.
