  • Publication number: 20250235690
    Abstract: A neurostimulation system can include a skin electrode pad configured to be attached to an external electrostimulation electronics unit for treating a subject using transcutaneous neurostimulation therapy, and the electrode pad can include a rehydratable hydrophilic foam layer. The rehydratable hydrophilic foam layer can be sized and shaped to be received within a receptacle of an electrode rehydrator to recurrently receive moisture from the electrode rehydrator to be rehydrated.

  • Patent number: 12153683
    Abstract: Processing logic may obtain health data from each of a plurality of clients. The health data includes attributes of a respective one of the plurality of clients, a health status of the respective one of the plurality of clients, and a software version of the respective one of the plurality of clients. Processing logic may determine a conditional risk that is associated with at least one of the attributes and the software version, in view of the health data, and store the conditional risk in memory. Processing logic can make the conditional risk, which includes the attributes and the software version, available to a client.

  • Patent number: 12024472
    Abstract: Methods of producing a ceramic article include heating the ceramic green body containing a quantity of one or more organic materials to extract only a fraction of the organic materials from the ceramic green body by exposing the ceramic green body to a process atmosphere which is heated to a hold temperature of from 225° C. to about 400° C. and has from 2% to 7% O2 by volume of the process atmosphere. The method further includes cooling the ceramic green body to a temperature of below 200° C., exposing the ceramic green body to a higher concentration of O2 than in the process atmosphere of the heating step, and firing the ceramic green body to form the ceramic article. Volatile extraction units for implementing the methods are also described.

  • Patent number: 11919822
    Abstract: Methods of firing ceramic honeycomb bodies are disclosed that include heating the ceramic honeycomb bodies and blocking furnace gases from flowing through the ceramic honeycomb body by placing an aluminum metal layer adjacent an endface of the honeycomb body. Heating removes organic pore-forming material and graphite pore-forming material in the ceramic honeycomb body. The aluminum metal layer oxidizes to form a porous Al2O3 layer after firing to a first temperature, and furnace gases flow through the ceramic honeycomb body.

  • Patent number: 11866375
    Abstract: Methods of firing ceramic-forming honeycomb bodies are disclosed that include heating the honeycomb bodies and blocking furnace gases from flowing through the honeycomb body by placing a layer selected from the group consisting of a graphite layer, a graphite-containing layer, an activated carbon layer, or an amorphous carbon layer adjacent an endface of the honeycomb body. Heating removes organic pore-forming material and graphite pore-forming material in the honeycomb body. The layer oxidizes to form a porous layer after firing to a first temperature, and furnace gases flow through the honeycomb body.
