Patent number: 11957893Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Brad C. Tischendorf, John E. Kast, Thomas P. Miltich, Gordon O. Munns, Randy S. Roles, Craig L. Schmidt, Joseph J. Viavattine, Christian S. Nielsen, Prabhakar A. Tamirisa, Anthony M. Chasensky, Markus W.

Patent number: 11148829Abstract: An arresting cable retraction mechanism for use across an aircraft runway. The retraction mechanism functions to extend a cable across a runway (for capture by a tailhook of an aircraft) without causing the cable to recede below the runway surface during an aircraft rollover/deflection event. The arresting cable retraction mechanism is also designed to help prevent damage to a retraction motion actuator due to high speed aircraft rollover. The disclosed system separates components related to retraction vs. deflection due to rollover, such that rollover events do not affect or load the motion actuator used for retraction.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: ENGINEERED ARRESTING SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Kirk F. Schneider, Justin S. Agren, Travis L. Chaney, Christopher J. Levesque, Scott A. Smith, Kenneth J. Neeld, Isaac Arroyo-Marquez, Craig H. Scott

Patent number: 7063190Abstract: A braking system having a brake disc and a brake plate. The brake disc and brake plate each include three plateaus that include ramps on each end. The plateaus of the brake disc are configured to substantially mate with the plateaus of the brake plate.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2003Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: MPC Products CorporationInventors: Dale A. Sylvan, Craig H. Scott, Anton A. Petrou

Patent number: 5808393Abstract: A brush holder assembly comprises a non-conductive brush holder body covered by a printed wiring board cover. The brush holder body includes a brush cavity for holding a brush, a spring cavity for holding a spring and a shunt wire cavity for holding a shunt wire. The spring is configured to hold the brush in contact with a commutator at a constant brush pressure throughout the entire length of brush travel. The brush holder body and printed wiring board cover are configured to enclose the brush, spring and shunt wire thus protecting the brush, spring and shunt wire.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: MPC Products CorporationInventors: Wayne C. Penfold, Craig H. Scott, David J. Stapleton

Patent number: 5803404Abstract: The damper is comprised of a set of core rotor magnets arranged in an opposing north/south configuration. A conducting material cylindrically encircles the rotor magnets. A set of stator magnets laterally encircle the conducting material and are arranged in the same manner as the rotor magnets. A system of gears are coupled to the damper shaft and control the rotation of the rotor magnets such that they can be positioned relative to the stator magnets to set up the desired damping torque. As the rotor and stator magnets of opposite polarity approach each other, the eddy-current in the rotating conducting material increases causing the conducting material to generate a field in response to the eddy-current. The damping torque is caused by the magnetic force generated when the induced field in the material and the stator/rotor field attempt to line up.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1996Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: MPC Products, Inc.Inventors: Anton A. Petrou, Craig H. Scott, Stephen B. Warner, Jerry D. Hielkema

Patent number: 4660437Abstract: An apparatus for controlling pitch variations of the blades of a propeller. A first planetary gearset includes a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planetary gear meshed with the sun and ring gears, the sun gear being statically grounded. A second planetary gearset is stacked in concentric juxtaposition with the first planetary gearset and includes a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planetary gear meshed with the sun and ring gears. The planetary gears of the respective gear sets are coupled for conjoint orbiting about their respective sun gears. A main rotor drive input is coupled to the ring gear of the second planetary gearset. A blade actuator output is coupled to the ring gear of the first planetary gearset to be rotated thereby.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1985Date of Patent: April 28, 1987Assignee: Sundstrand CorporationInventor: Craig H.
