Abstract: A high efficiency, multi-mode, regenerative AC-DC-AC inverter power system contains an inverter bridge, a bi-phase matrix (BP-Mtx) containing reverse current oriented, series-connected sets of controllable switches, wherein inputs to a first and second set of controllable switches are coupled to the inputs of the first inverter bridge, and outputs of the first and second set of controllable switches are coupled to inputs to a third set of controllable switches. A chargeable DC power supply is coupled to an output of the third set of controllable switches. The load-side DC-bus is coupled to outputs of the first inverter bridge and a second inverter bridge. The switches of the first inverter bridge, second inverter bridge, and BP-Mtx are modulated to charge the DC power supply from either excess voltage from line inputs or the DC-bus, and to provide compensating energy from the DC power supply for load or line input perturbations.

Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular nerve activity ablation and/or sensing includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes (needle guiding elements) which expand with open ends around a central axis to contact the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the needles to be advanced though the vessel wall into the perivascular space. The catheter also includes structures which provide radial and lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes open uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall. Ablative energy or fluid is delivered from the needles in or near the adventitia to ablate nerves outside of the media while sparing nerves within the media.
