  • Publication number: 20250057577
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved medical devices, systems, and methods. In many embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for locating and treating a target nerve with integrated cold therapy and electrical stimulation systems are provided. For example, nerve stimulation and cryoneurolysis may be delivered concurrently or alternately with the cryo-stimulation device. In some embodiments, the device may be operated by a single operator or clinician. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure may improve nerve targeting during cryoneurolysis procedures. Improvements in nerve localization and targeting may increase treatment accuracy, physician confidence in needle placement during treatment, and clinical efficacy and safety. In turn, such improvements may decrease overall treatment times, the number of repeat treatments, and the re-treatment rate.

  • Patent number: 12217972
    Abstract: A method for multi-state pulsing to achieve a balance between bow control and mask selectivity is described. The method includes generating a primary radio frequency (RF) signal. The primary RF signal pulses among three states including a first state, a second state, and a third state. The method further includes generating a secondary RF signal. The secondary RF signal pulses among the three states. During the first state, the primary RF signal has a power level that is greater than a power level of the secondary RF signal. Also, during the second state, the secondary RF signal has a power level that is greater than a power level of the primary RF signal. During the third state, power levels of the primary and secondary RF signals are approximately equal.

  • Patent number: 12215616
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine system is described herein. The system uses an additive added to the exhaust of the internal combustion engine to maintain a range of NO2 to NO within a range that provides for a fast SCR reaction in a selective catalyst reduction unit. The additive and the exhaust enter a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), whereby the NO2 undergoes a two-stage process. In the first stage, the NO2 from the exhaust is adsorbed onto the precious metal catalyst of the DOC and an atomic oxygen is removed from the NO2, reducing the NO2 to NO. Because of the higher reactivity of the additive, the additive scavenges a portion of the atomic oxygen from the catalyst. During the second stage of the DOC process, the NO is oxidized over the catalyst to form NO2.
