  • Publication number: 20250161674
    Abstract: A catheter may include electrodes for transvascular nerve stimulation. The electrodes may be positioned within lumens of the catheter and aligned with apertures in the outer wall of the catheter. The electrodes may produce focused electrical fields for stimulation of one or more nerves. In one embodiment, the catheter may include a set of proximal electrodes and a set of distal electrodes, and the proximal electrodes may stimulate a patient's left phrenic nerve and the distal electrodes may stimulate a patient's right phrenic nerve.

  • Patent number: 11801922
    Abstract: A gyroscopic stabiliser for stabilising motion of an object includes a support for attaching to the object, a gimbal rotatably supported by the support to be rotatable around a first axis, a flywheel rotatably supported by the gimbal to be rotatable around a second axis relative to the gimbal, orthogonal to the first axis, and a rotary damper. The rotary damper has a chamber containing a damping fluid a vane that is rotatable within the chamber and that is coupled to the gimbal and a flow passage allowing flow of the damping fluid from the chamber on one side of the vane to the chamber on the other side of the vane when the vane is rotated.

  • Patent number: 11613332
    Abstract: A gyroscopic stabiliser for stabilising motion of an object, the gyroscopic stabiliser comprising: a support for attaching to the object whose motion is to be stabilised; a gimbal rotatably supported by the support to be rotatable around a first axis relative to the support; and a flywheel rotatably supported by the gimbal to be rotatable around a second axis relative to the gimbal, the second axis being orthogonal to the first axis; wherein the gimbal is rotatably supported by the support at least partly within a maximum width of the gimbal along the first axis; and a maximum width of the gyroscopic stabiliser along the first axis is equal to, or substantially equal to, the maximum width of the gimbal along the first axis.

  • Patent number: 11583123
    Abstract: A parcel storage assembly for remotely securing a parcel delivery includes a box that is positionable adjacent to an entry of a building to be accessible to a parcel delivery person. A lid is hingedly coupled to the box for opening and closing the box. A locking unit is coupled to the box and the locking unit engages the lid when the locking unit is turned on to inhibit the lid from is opened. The locking unit is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device to facilitate a user to remotely lock and unlock the box. A light emitter is coupled to the box to kill bacteria and sterilizing the parcel delivered by the parcel delivery person. A cooler is positionable within the box for receiving a food delivery positioned therein.

  • Patent number: 10467589
    Abstract: Systems and methods for profiled and focused searching of litigation information allow a user to access specific legal information for use during litigation. The user can connect to a web site and access particular information from multiple sources based on the litigation task the user wishes to accomplish One litigation task is to create a litigation profile for a target, such as a particular litigant, attorney, judge, court, or firm. In this way, the user can perform focused and task-based searching to receive information about particular filings in particular locations, made by particular entities without knowing which sources contain certain pieces of the litigation information. For example, the user can receive all documents relating to summary judgment for patent infringement filed by a particular attorney in a particular court without specifying the source of information. In one aspect, the user can also access the source(s) upon receiving the results.
