  • Patent number: 10583295
    Abstract: An example of a system may include a lead including a distal electrode portion. The distal electrode portion may be configured to at least partially encircle a sympathetic chain in a lumbar region or thoracic region. The distal electrode portion may include at least one electrode oriented toward the sympathetic chain when the distal electrode portion at least partially encircles the sympathetic chain. The distal portion may include at least one anchoring site configured for use to mechanically secure the distal electrode portion to tissue proximate to the sympathetic chain. The lead may have a strain relief proximate to the distal electrode portion.

  • Patent number: 10005403
    Abstract: Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to systems and method of attaching a roof rack to a vehicle having a removable hard top and a space frame. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the roof rack generally includes an elongate rail, an upper mounting pad, a lower mounting pad, and fasteners which couple the elongate rail to the vehicle. During assembly of the roof rack components, a main fastener is captured by the geometry of the components. The main fastener is used to couple the roof rack assembly to a bracket mounted to the space frame of the vehicle. In this regard, various loads acting on the roof rack are generally transferred to the space frame as opposed to the vehicle hardtop.

  • Publication number: 20170165485
    Abstract: Systems and methods for non-invasive management of head pain are disclosed. The system includes a headgear configured to be worn on a patient's head. The headgear can include a base and an extension coupled to the base, and a number of therapy devices removably or adjustably attached to the base or the extension. The therapy devices can deliver various modes of therapeutic energy at respective target sites on the head, including neuromodulation of peripheral pain pathways and/or the cerebral cortex, and therapy modalities to facilitate or enhance the neuromodulation effects. The system can include a portable device that enables the user to control the therapy devices on the headgear. The user can use the portable device to optionally access a web-based repository to acquire information about headgear usage from other users, and use that information to guide the programming of the therapy devices.
