Abstract: A cable management system includes a cable bundling system for tracking a plurality of cables included in a cable bundle. The cable bundling system includes a pair of cable bundlers, including a first cable bundler for installing a first end of a cable, and a second cable bundler for installing a second end of the cable.

Abstract: A cable management system includes multiple cables, each having a unique identifier associated therewith and each including first and second barcodes including the unique identifier, the first barcode located proximate a first end of the cable, the second barcode located proximate a second end of the cable. The system also includes a barcode scanner to scan barcodes of the cables, the barcode scanner includes a clip to receive one of the cables. The system also includes a mobile computing device having a processor, data storage medium, communication unit, and user interface including a display. The mobile computing device is configured to receive via the user interface first end location information for a first cable, receive from the barcode scanner the first barcode of the first cable, and save and display the first end location information in association with the unique identifier of the first cable included in the first barcode.

Abstract: An implantable hermetically sealed living tissue stimulator which includes a coil in which current is induced by an external alternating magnetic field is disclosed. All the stimulator circuit components except for one or more electrode leads are hermetically sealed within a hermetic container formed of a biocompatible metal of a thickness T, and having an electrical resistivity .rho., where T/.rho. .ltoreq. 0.03, T being in mils and .rho. in microhm-cm. The metal thickness T is not more than 5 mils and preferably not more than 3 mils, and the electrical resistivity .rho. is not less than 75 microhm-cm and preferably not less than 100 microhm-cm, in order to reduce the portion of power induced in the stimulator by the magnetic field which is dissipated as heat in the hermetic metal container and to increase the portion of the induced power which penetrates the container and induces the current in the coil.
