Abstract: The present document describes methods and systems for battery authentication. In aspects, the battery includes an identifier (ID) resistor integrated into the battery label and having at least one exposed resistor contact. The location of the resistor contact can be used for mechanical keying for identification of the battery. The ID resistor has a resistance value that corresponds to a type of the battery. To detect the ID resistor, a device can have electrical contacts (e.g., pogo pins) that are exposed in a battery housing and that electrically connect to the resistor contact(s) of the battery. The device can use a lookup table to identify the type of the battery based on the resistance value of the ID resistor. Such identification of the type of the battery enables authentication of the battery to the device and initiation of one or more functions based on whether the battery is valid.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are described for analyzing evoked compound action potentials (ECAP) signals to assess the effect of a delivered electrical stimulation signal. In one example, a system includes processing circuitry configured to receive ECAP information representative of an ECAP signal sensed by sensing circuitry, and determine, based on the ECAP information, that the ECAP signal includes at least one of an N2 peak, P3 peak, or N3 peak. The processing circuitry may then control delivery of electrical stimulation based on at least one of the N2 peak, P3 peak, or N3 peak.

Abstract: A labelled point within a multidimensional space is input from a set of input records. It is determined whether the labelled point is subsumed by a member hyperregion of the set of hyperregions specified by an BSRS, wherein the BSRS includes a boundary-structured rule corresponding to a hyperregion in the multidimensional space. In the event the labelled point is not subsumed, the BSRS is expanded or the labelled point is eliminated.

Abstract: A system including a delivery apparatus, a crimping device, and a loading assembly. The crimping device includes a housing disposed over a distal end portion of the delivery apparatus for receiving a radially expandable and compressible prosthetic heart valve. The housing includes a funnel segment, a pusher member, and an actuator releasably coupled to the pusher member.
