  • Publication number: 20080027487
    Abstract: A method, system, graphical user interface, and apparatus are provided for performing a patient management function for treating depression using an implantable medical device. At least one patient parameter relating to an electrical signal provided by the implantable medical device for treating depression is acquired. At least one therapy parameter defining the electrical signal is correlated with at least one patient parameter. An indication relating to the correlation of the therapy parameter and the patient parameter is provided.

  • Patent number: 7233863
    Abstract: A location finder device uses a GPS (Global Positioning System) to lock in location coordinates of a user site or a stationary car and then uses GPS and the last locked-in coordinates to direct the user back to the original location. The device may use special encrypted, firm-coded language to handle each function and operation, such as to calculate all locked in coordinates and to display the distance for the user to return to the last locked-in location.

  • Patent number: 7000801
    Abstract: A drinking vessel sleeve includes a sleeve side wall sheet having a first side wall sheet end and a second side wall sheet end and being coiled into a tubular sleeve configuration having a sleeve circumference so that the first side wall sheet end is radially spaced inwardly from the second side wall sheet end, and including an adjustment lever structure pivotally interconnecting the first and second side wall sheet ends and extending radially inwardly from the first side wall sheet end to define a lever tab portion; so that pivoting the lever tab portion toward the first side wall sheet end increases the sleeve circumference to receive a larger diameter vessel, and pivoting the lever structure toward the second side wall causes the second side wall end to overlap the first side wall end to decrease the sleeve circumference to receive a smaller diameter vessel.

  • Patent number: 6318689
    Abstract: A container holder for securing to a mounting surface and for receiving and retaining a container includes an elongate lash member having first lash member end and a second lash member end; a first lash member attachment mechanism secured to the first lash member end; a second lash member attachment mechanism secured to the second lash member end; and a container receiving pouch structure suspended substantially vertically from the horizontal elastic retaining lash. The lash member preferably is formed of elastic material, so that the lash member can be stretched to fit around and resiliently engage containers of various sizes, and to pull the container against the mounting surface, enhancing container support by increasing friction between the mounting surface and the container.

  • Patent number: 5837922
    Abstract: An ammunition storage and retrieval system comprises a passive magazine having left and right backs of cells arranged in rows, with each cell accommodating a projectile in vertical, base-down orientation; the cells and cell rows being defined by adjacent pairs of elongated superstructures. A projectile loading head is movably mounted by a traveling beam, in turn, movably mounted by elevated rails, such that the loading head may be translated through a center aisle to address a selected row in either bank and then through the selected row to a selected cell for downloading of a projectile therein. A projectile receiver, dependent from the loading head, includes projectile gripping arms and a projectile lifting foot, which are articulated in coordination with operation of projectile locking members mounted by the superstructures to effect downloading.
