  • Minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation system
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Pressure transducer
    Patent number: 5343754
    Abstract: A pressure transducer is shown having a pressure responsive movable diaphragm which effectively forms a wall of a pressure chamber; the diaphragm upon sensing fluid pressure thereagainst is effective for accordingly varying an electrical resistance; a passage operatively interconnects the pressure chamber with a source of fluid whereby the fluid and its pressure are communicated to the pressure chamber; the passage is shown as being helically formed in order to, within a limited axial length about which the helical passage is formed, sufficiently damp perturbations in the pressure of the fluid.
