  • Publication number: 20220193423
    Abstract: An implantable pulse generator includes a housing component containing electrical circuitry for generating electrical pulses and a header component connected to the housing component. The header component is adapted to connect to one or more stimulation leads for applying the electrical pulses to the tissue of the patient. The header includes a locking member for an electrical terminal of the implantable pulse generator. The locking member includes a head, an elongate body portion adjacent the head and has a proximal section with a first diameter and a distal section having a second diameter. A transition section is between the proximal section and the distal section. The transition section smoothly transitions from the first diameter to the second diameter. The elongate body portion is configured to provide an interference fit to the electrical terminal in a locked position and hold the electrical terminal in place.

  • Publication number: 20220147717
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for natural language processing to extract and classify text, and automatically identify information about an entity or institution, are provided. One method may include monitoring, by a computing device, a public network, and automatically ingesting, from the network, content comprising text. The method may also include extracting the text from the content and passing the extracted text as input to a classification model, which processes the text to generate a semantic vector representation of the text and compares the generated semantic vector representation with previously labeled vectors. The method may then include determining a prediction on a meaning of the text based on the result of the comparing step or based on a similarity of the generated vector to other grouped labels of stored vectors, and outputting the prediction of the meaning of the text.

  • Publication number: 20220118600
    Abstract: A chainsaw hanger has a flat face with a J-shaped support arm extending perpendicular to and vertically downward from the face, curving to form a horizontal portion parallel to and spaced laterally from the face, and a vertical portion extending upward towards and spaced laterally from a bottom surface of the face. The chainsaw hanger supports a chain saw in a vertical position abutting a wall. The support arm of a lockable chainsaw hanger has a pair of apertures spaced to accommodate a U-shaped rod having legs extending downward. One leg is slidably and rotatably secured within the support arm.

  • Publication number: 20220116229
    Abstract: A method for representing certificate expiration includes obtaining, from a root certificate authority, a root digital certificate and generating a chain of intermediate certificate authorities. Each intermediate certificate authority includes a respective intermediate certificate digitally signed by the intermediate certificate authority that is immediately higher in the chain and a respective validation time period indicating a range of times when the intermediate certificate authority is permitted to digitally sign certificates. The respective validation time period includes the validation time period of each intermediate certificate authority that is lower in the chain. The method includes generating a certificate revocation list and generating, from the lowest intermediate certificate authority in the chain, a plurality of end entity certificates.

  • Publication number: 20220098842
    Abstract: A pop up stopper comprising multiple aperture and at least one non-aperture lever rod engagement locations to allow use of the stopper as a replacement with different pre-existing actuating and drain systems when the existing stopper is broken, worn or needs to be replaced for aesthetic reasons. An existing lever rod is selectively positionable to engage with one of the lever rod engagement locations that are disposed at varying heights on the stopper. Most preferably, there are six lever rod engagement locations, four aperture locations and two non-aperture locations. A seal disposed below a cap and around a body of the stopper comprises an enlarged annular ring near its outer edge to provide increased surface area for sealing a drain opening. The body of the stopper has a maximum width measured in cross section of 1.04 inches or less.

  • Patent number: 11247060
    Abstract: Implantable medical devices including interconnections having strain-relief structure. The interconnections can take the form of flexible circuits. Strain relief gaps and shapes are integrated in the interconnections to relieve forces in each of three dimensions. In some examples, the region of an interconnection which couples with a component of the implantable medical device is separated by a strain relief gap from a connection to a second component and/or a location where the flex bends around a corner.
