  • Patent number: 11920342
    Abstract: An exterior insulated finish wall assembly includes an exterior panel member and an insert member. The exterior panel member includes a rigid insulative substrate having a body portion and a tail portion extending from the body portion, wherein a recess is defined by a sloped surface and a back surface of the tail portion. The insert member is disposed within the recess and is sized and shaped to correspond to the recess. A drainage channel is defined between the sloped and back surfaces of the tail portion and the insert member.

  • Patent number: 11364379
    Abstract: A patch for a therapeutic electrical stimulation device includes a shoe connected to the first side of the patch, the shoe including a body extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end, and having first and second surfaces, the first end of the shoe defining at least two ports, and the first surface of the shoe defining a connection member. The patch also includes at least one conductor positioned in the ports of the first end of the shoe. The shoe is configured for sliding insertion into a receptacle defined by a controller so that the conductor is connected to the controller to deliver electrical current from the controller, through the conductor, and to the electrodes, and the connection member is at least partially captured by a detent defined by the controller in the receptacle to retain the shoe within the receptacle.
