Abstract: Techniques regarding pain treatment are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include: a data collection component that can determine at least one parameter associated with a pain perception of a subject, a computing component that can determine a relationship between the pain perception and the at least one parameter using artificial intelligence, and can determine a treatment for the subject based on the relationship; and a treatment component that can cause a device associated with the subject to apply at least a portion of the treatment.

Abstract: A device containing a solar cell is provided in the form of a stacked package that has a planar arrangement of conductive laminates at or below the surface of a heat sink. The planar alignment allows placement of electrical connections below the surface of the heat sink and reduces the vertical profile of the device, making it easier to be hermetically sealed. In specific embodiments the solar cell substrate is embedded within the heat sink during the manufacturing phase, eliminating the need for a thermally conductive substrate between the solar cell and the heat sink.

Abstract: A stacked package for a solar cell is provided with a planar arrangement of conductive laminates on the surface of the heat sink. The layered conductive laminate offers multi-directional orientation of the solar cell within the package by eliminating any orientation requirements between the chip and the substrate, and offers multiple options for placement of standard or flipped bypass diodes. The packaged solar cell of the invention provides a smaller horizontal and vertical profile than standard solar cell packages, making it easier to hermetically seal the package.

Abstract: A spinal implant for implantation in an intervertebral space is provided, such that the implant may provide a back-out prevention feature and may also provide a visual indication of whether the back-out prevention feature is engaged. The visual indication may be a contrast between a circular visible shape of the screw head and a non-circular visible shape of the screw head. The back-out prevention feature may provide engagement of a tapered thread in the screw head with an internal thread of the implant. A hard stop may also be provided. Such back-out prevention feature may also provide a torque-based indication of engagement or non-engagement of the back-out prevention feature. The implant may possess a polymeric posterior body joined to a metallic anterior body.

Abstract: A tag axle assembly has a frame having a pair of hanger brackets, an upper cross tube and a lower cross tube. A pair of rocker beams having a primary pivot for pivotally mounting the rocker beam to the support frame is mounted to the frame. A suspension air spring extends between the upper cross tube and each rocker beam, and a lift air spring extends between each hanger bracket and the front end of the rocker beam. An axle seat is hingedly mounted to the rear end of each rocker beam. An upper beam having an actuator beam and a lift bar are pivotally mounted to the axle seat and to the support frame. A linear actuator extends between the support frame and the actuator beam. Inflation of the lift air spring causes the rocker beams to rotate about the primary pivots, and expansion of the linear actuator causes the actuator beam and the interconnected lift bar to raise.
