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 control circuit and specific embodiments thereof are provided using a four-port infinitely variable pilot operated pressure-compensator spool valve and a three-port infinitely variable pilot operated load sense spool valve in series to regulate the output pressure of a variable displacement radial piston pump. The valves are so constructed that both must be correctly positioned to put the pump into full stroke, while either valve can de-stroke the pump. The three-port valve is pilot controlled between the load sense pressure and the outlet pressure, while the four-port valve is controlled between the pump inlet and outlet pressures. A check valve and orifice are positioned between the two control valves and the crankcase control line of the pump to assist in stabilizing the pump output. A relief valve is provided on the crankcase line to minimize output spikes. In an alternative embodiment, a single three-port valve is controlled between the inlet and outlet pressures of the pump.
