  • Patent number: 10675462
    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method for identifying a site with a patient for treatment. The method may include engaging a plurality electrodes with an interior wall of the patient at a plurality of locations. The method may also generating a virtual map of a plurality of electrodes, wherein each of the plurality of electrodes is displayed with a first indicia. The method may also include displaying each of the plurality of electrodes engaged with the interior wall with a second indicia, measuring electrical activity, identifying at least one site for treatment based on the measured resulting electrical activity, and displaying each of the plurality of electrodes identified for treatment with a third indicia.

  • Publication number: 20160278660
    Abstract: Methods and devices for identifying a treatment site are disclosed. The methods may include engaging a plurality electrodes with plurality of locations on or adjacent an interior wall of a patient. The methods may also include generating a pacing stimulus through a first pair of the plurality of electrodes and measuring a resulting electrical activity. The methods may also include identifying at least one site for treatment based on the resulting electrical activity. The devices may include elements configured to perform these methods.

  • Patent number: 8875541
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses for positioning a piece of jewelry and methods of making said apparatuses. The jewelry may include a necklace, bracelet, and/or anklet. The apparatus may be placed over the clasp of a piece of jewelry and then be attached to the skin of the individual wearing the necklace. In this way, the apparatus prevents the movement of the clasp of the piece of jewelry from a desirable location to an undesirable location, where the clasp may detract from the beauty of the piece of jewelry. Further, the apparatus may come in many shapes, sizes, colors, etc., such that the device may provide for a stylish accessory for the individual wearing the device.
