Patent number: 12215487Abstract: A water control system including a showerhead and a tub faucet. The faucet has a valve configured to automatically restrict fluid flow through the faucet and direct fluid to the showerhead as a function of a parameter, such as a predetermined water temperature. The faucet has many modes of operation, including a Reset Mode, an Auto-Divert Mode, a Bypass Mode, and a Cold Mode. A flow control device generates minimal back-pressure when in the Reset Mode such that water does not undesirably back flow to a shower head.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: AM CONSERVATION GROUPInventors: Jeffrey S. Doss, Jason Swanson, Heather L. Pinson, John Lockhart

Patent number: 8774915Abstract: Capacitor packaging according to the disclosure provides advantages particularly in connection to compact and/or complex-shaped medical devices (e.g., having limited interior volume defined by domed and/or irregular exterior surfaces). In addition, capacitors of the type shown and described herein can be utilized in relatively compact external defibrillators, such as automatic external defibrillators or clinician-grade, automated or manually-operated external defibrillators. In one form a plurality of capacitors having substantially flat exterior surfaces are placed in an abutting relationship between at least a pair of major surfaces and the major surfaces are spaced from an opposing or adjacent surface in a non-parallel configuration. In other forms, one or more exterior surface portions have a common and/or complex radius dimension (i.e., the surfaces are curved).Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Craig L. Schmidt, William L. Johnson, Steven Joseph May, Christian S. Nielsen, John Daniel Norton, Anthony W. Rorvick, Jeffrey A. Swanson, William K. Wenger

Patent number: 8290593Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) may include at least two separate lead connection assemblies, each with electrical connectors for connecting implantable leads to the IMD. In some examples, a IMD may include a first therapy module configured to generate a first electrical stimulation therapy and a second therapy module configured to generate a second electrical stimulation therapy for delivery to the patient. The IMD may include a first lead connection assembly including a first electrical connector electrically coupled to the first therapy module and a second lead connection assembly including a second electrical connector electrically coupled to the second therapy module. In some examples, the first and second lead connection assemblies are distributed around the outer perimeter of the IMD housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Robert W.
