  • Electrical stimulation of the carotid artery
    Patent number: 9597520
    Abstract: In order to treat hypertension, an implantable receiving device is connected to implantable leads, which are adapted to deliver electrical energy to the carotid body or bodies of the patient. The receiving device is arranged to receive electrical energy from an external generator. The device thus enables the delivery of electrical currents, which modify the function of neural tissue, particularly where repeated treatments are needed or where positioning of a percutaneous needle is difficult.

  • Simulator including image generator and method of producing a simulator
    Patent number: 5873726
    Abstract: A simulator, example, a flight simulator, includng an image-generating display (20) and first and second mirrors (30, 40). The mirrors (30, 40) are singly curved and have substantially perpendicular axes, so that light from the display passes to the the concave surface of the first mirror (30), and from that mirror (30) to the concave surface of the second mirror (40), and from the second mirror (40) to a user of the simulator.
