  • Patent number: 9855428
    Abstract: A device includes a pulse generator coupled to a neurostimulation lead placed around the nerve and a set of electrodes individually connected to the generator by a splitter circuit controlled to preferentially stimulate certain regions of the nerve relative to other regions. The device performing an iterative search of an optimal configuration operating by selection of a plurality of different stimulation configurations, storing of a cardiac physiological parameter measured for each selected stimulation configuration, and designation as optimal stimulation configuration of the one of said selected different stimulation configurations, depending on at least the stored values of the physiological parameter measured for different electrode configurations.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090281462
    Abstract: A system including a sensor measuring a position of movement, an artificial controller converting the signals from the sensor into state variables of full movement, correlated with a reference model, by performing continual adjustments for estimating these variables directly drawn from the signals of the sensor by results drawn from the reference model. The control which is then provided for completing the movement has good synchronization with the portion accomplished without assistance from the system. Such a system may find application for reproducing or completing the walking of a person with a disabled leg.
