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 and method for soldering an electrical component to a circuit board includes a stage positioning the circuit board and electrical component in alignment with a solder tip along an axis. A first spring-loaded compression mechanism maintains contact between the circuit board and the electrical component, and a second spring-loaded compression mechanism brings the soldering tip into thermal contact with the circuit board and the electrical component such that solder disposed adjacent to the circuit board and the electrical component melts. When the second spring-loaded compression mechanism removes its applied force such that the soldering tip comes out of contact with the circuit board, the first spring-loaded compression mechanism maintains the contact between the circuit board and the electrical component while the solder cools and solidifies.

Abstract: A well cleaning tool including a tubular body, a cylindrical sleeve and at least one scratching element. The tubular body includes a threaded lower end for attaching to an end cap, and a plurality of first passages. The cylindrical sleeve is sized to receive the tubular body and includes a plurality of second passages such that the second passages are in alignment with the first passages. The at least one scratching element is preferably a rigid cable with frayed ends that is passed through the aligned first and second passages such that the frayed ends outwardly extend from an outer surface of the sleeve. Threading or tightening the tubular body lower end to the end cap will cause the first and second passages out of alignment, causing the rigid cable to crimp or pinch between the first and second passages, retaining the rigid cable in place.

Abstract: An herbicidal composition containing (a) florasulam and (b) at least one preemergent annual grass herbicide selected from the group consisting of dithiopyr and pendimethalin provides synergistic control of selected weeds in turf.

Abstract: A tool for finishing the aperture in the base of a cartridge case. The typical cartridge case has a cylindrical neck and the aperture is located on the axis that extends from the cylindrical neck. A pilot is provided on the shank of an aperture cutting tool coaxial with a cutter on the tool. A limit stop is provided above the pilot and the combination is adjustable and lockable at a desired position on the shank. The combination pilot and limit stop is positioned relative to the cutter so that as the pilot enters the neck, the cutter is guided into the aperture. The stop limit provides the exact amount of cutter entry for removing burrs but without enlarging the aperture.
