  • Patent number: 11957893
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Patent number: 4799136
    Abstract: A lighting fixture adapted for uniformly illuminating a wall surface by utilizing an asymmetric light reflection pattern. The fixture includes a support housing and an elongated concave-shaped reflector which is pivotably attached to the support housing and has multiple facet surfaces arranged for reflecting light from the centrally located light source out through a front opening, which is covered with an ultraviolet filtering glass diffusion plate. The reflector has major rear and minor front reflecting portions, each portion containing multiple facet surfaces arranged in upper and lower zones with varying angles measured relative to a central vertical plane selected for reflecting light from the light source uniformly out through the diffusion plate to provide an asymmetric lighting pattern for uniformly illuminating a wall surface.

  • Patent number: 4349866
    Abstract: A light reflection system for indirect lighting, such system being adapted for mounting on a wall or other structure in an office area or the like, comprising a boxlike housing having a central compartment in which the light reflection system is contained, such system including a high intensity discharge source of light, and a reflector assembly including a specially configured reflector which substantially surrounds the light source and judiciously reflects the light upwardly to the ceiling of the room being lighted; other, flat, reflectors are also included as part of the system.
