Abstract: Support systems and stands for electronic devices include tilt hinges, lift arms, and their component parts. Some tilt hinges include assemblies for guiding and retaining bars or protrusions into preferred positioning within receiver openings to unify the parts, particularly as they move, and to reduce wobble or slop in the joints. Lift arms provide simplified and low-cost guidance and counterbalance mechanisms for controlling movement of the electronic device relative to the base of a stand. In some cases, the lift arms have sheaths to help protect or cover mechanisms while allowing additional space for the mechanisms within the lift arm. Other interconnection systems hide and protect a connector interface between the stand and the electronic device within a housing until unlocked and the connector is moved into an exposed position. These systems improve efficiency, comfort, ergonomics, accessibility, and user satisfaction of the electronic devices and their supports.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A refiner comprising a housing having a refining chamber providing a flow path for particulate material to be refined while travelling between an upstream inlet and a downstream outlet. A refining assembly in the chamber has a series of relatively rotatably cooperative axially confronting annular refining surfaces located on partially internested refining disks and defining radially extending refining zones therebetween and with radially opposite ends of the zones closed. Passages defined by and between the internested portions of the disks connect the adjacent refining zones in a manner to cause the particulate material such as paper making stock to pass successively between the radially outer ends of the zones and the radially inner ends of the zones.

Abstract: The magnitude and sign of the Hall angle of the material of a wafer (13) are measured by a combined capacitive and inductive coupling technique which does not require physically contacting the wafer (13). Contacting methods in common use introduce surface damage or contamination which may reduce the yield of microelectronic circuits on semiconductor wafers and normally in addition require special sample geometries. In this technique an rf signal is applied to a pair of concentric planar electrodes (11,12) adjacent to the wafer (13), thus capacitively coupling a radial rf current into the wafer. A magnetic field applied perpendicular to the wafer produces a circular component of rf current because of the Hall effect. This circular rf current produces an axial rf magnetic field which couples to a pickup coil (15). The pickup signal is amplified and detected to produce an output signal related to the sign and magnitude of the Hall angle of the wafer material.
