  • Patent number: 11654284
    Abstract: An electrode lead comprises an electrically insulative cuff body and at least three axially aligned electrode contacts circumferentially disposed along the inner surface of the cuff body when in the furled state. The electrode contacts may be circumferentially disposed around a nerve, and an electrical pulse train may be delivered to the electrode contacts thereby stimulating the nerve to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The electrical pulse train may be one that pre-conditions peripherally located nerve fascicles to not be stimulated, while stimulating centrally located nerve fascicles. A feedback mechanism can be used to titrate electrode contacts and electrical pulse train to the patient. A sensor that is affixed to the case of a neurostimulator can be used to measure physiological artifacts of respiration, and a motion detector can be used to sense tapping of the neurostimulator to toggle the neurostimulator between an ON position and an OFF position.

  • Patent number: 11563629
    Abstract: A technical solution for an electronic information exchange platform is disclosed. Services provided by the platform may be described in a uniform way via service-specific provisioning descriptors. To provision services for a client system, a managed services provisioning system provides a service configuration interface through which a service associated with a tuple of a particular sender, receiver, and document type can be selected for further configuration. A service provisioning interface is dynamically generated for obtaining service-specific provisioning information from a user for generating a service-specific provisioning data instance that can be deployed to a backend system. At runtime, the backend system utilizes the service-specific provisioning data instance to provide the provisioned service for a client system. In this way, a variety of services can be efficiently provisioned for a diverse set of clients in a scalable, streamlined, and cost-effective manner.

  • Patent number: 11392740
    Abstract: Roughly described, the invention involves a system including a plurality of functional units that execute different segments of a dataflow, and share intermediate results via a peer-to-peer messaging protocol. The functional units are reconfigurable, with different units being reconfigurable at different levels of granularity. The peer-to-peer messaging protocol includes control tokens or other mechanisms by which the consumer of the intermediate results learns that data has been transferred, and in response thereto triggers its next dataflow segment. A host or configuration controller configures the data units with their respective dataflow segments, but once execution of the configured dataflow begins, no host need be involved in orchestrating data synchronization, the transfer of intermediate results, or the triggering of processing after the data are received. Control overhead is therefore minimized.
