Abstract: Described and disclosed herein are various embodiments of methods, systems, devices and components relating to miniaturized gastric electrical stimulators (GESs) configured for implantation in a patient's stomach.

Abstract: Described is a multi-purpose instrument and music stand. The instrument and music stand includes a base assembly having a plurality of legs. A rod projects up from the base assembly. At least one attachment tang with a pair of side recesses is pivotally attached with the rod. A tang receptor is included that selectively attaches with the attachment tang. The tang receptor is formed with a button and geared detent parts. Depressing the button causes the pair of geared detent parts to simultaneously retract from the pair of side recesses of the attachment tang, thereby allowing a user to selectively attach and detach a music holder or other item from the tang and stand.

Abstract: A therapy system includes a therapy module implantable within a mammalian body that provides a given therapy and a control module implantable within the mammalian body that effects the therapy provided by the therapy module. The control module is physically separate from the therapy module.

Abstract: A circuit recloser that limits current through a power line when a fault condition occurs. The recloser includes a circuit interrupter that is switchable between a closed state, in which current is permitted to flow through the power line, and an open state, in which the current is interrupted. The interrupter switches to its open state in response to a fault condition, such as a current surge. The recloser also has a movable member that is operatively coupled to the interrupter for resetting the interrupter to the closed state from the open state when the movable member is moved. The movable member is configured for being remotely movable to close the interrupter. Preferably the recloser includes an electric drive to remotely move the movable member from a remote station, and a projection extends from the movable member to enable manual movement thereof. The movable member includes a shaft which the electric drive rotates by turning a slotted hub coaxially about the shaft.

Abstract: Processes for preparing 2-substituted benzaldehydes of general formula (I), wherein: R.sub.1 is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --(L.sub.1).sub.p --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --(L.sub.2).sub.r --CH.sub.2 --(T).sub.2 --Z; L.sub.1 and L.sub.2 are independently CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2, CH.dbd.CH or C.tbd.C; q is 0 to 8; p, r and s are independently 0 or 1; T is O, S, CH.sub.2, CH.dbd.CH, C.tbd.C; and Z is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, ethynyl, trifluoromethyl, isopropenyl, furanyl, thienyl, cyclohexyl or phenyl optionally mono substituted with CF.sub.3, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, methylthio, or trifluoromethylthio; and R.sub.2 and A are independently H, CF.sub.3, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, F, Cl, Br or I; are useful for preparing pharmaceutically active compounds.
