Publication number: 20150126912Abstract: Systems and methods to treat obstructive sleep apnea draw soft tissue of the front of the neck of the subject, in particular at or near the oropharynx, into a cavity by applying negative pressure. The opening of the cavity is formed by a rim of a body that is configured to be engaged, externally, with a medial portion of the anterior side of the neck such that engagement between the rim and the neck forms a chamber that can be sealed from atmospheric pressure. Movement of the soft tissue may thus reduce temporary airway obstruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventor: Eugene Nelson Scarberry

Patent number: 7469353Abstract: Methods and arrangements to establish power rails for a computer system in accordance with a sequence requirement are disclosed. Embodiments may interconnect voltage regulators for components of a platform in accordance with a sequence requirement for establishing power rails for proper operation of the platform. The voltage regulators may comprise enable inputs for enabling the establishment of power rails and power good signal outputs to indicate establishment of power rails. Some embodiments include interconnections to couple voltage regulators in a series of stages. Power good signals output by voltage regulators in one stage may enable inputs of voltage regulators in a subsequent stage. In many embodiments, such interconnections advantageously implement power sequence requirements with little or no need for glue logic and/or programmable logic devices, reducing costs and space requirements associated with implementing the power sequence. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Gopal Mundada, Eugene Nelson
