  • 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.

  • Crochet hook assembly and method of making same
    Patent number: 6668597
    Abstract: A crochet hook assembly has first and second hook bodies, an elongate flexible center, and a swivel. The flexible center has a first end coupled to the first hook body and a second end coupled to the second hook body to form a double hook subassembly. The swivel is disposed in the subassembly so as to allow one portion thereof to rotate relative to another. Additional swivels disposed along the length of the subassembly may be provided.

  • Printing systems for typesetter emulation
    Patent number: 4679153
    Abstract: A printing system and method is disclosed herein which is capable of emulating any of a plurality of phototypesetters to create a proof comprising at least one glyph on a reproduction medium from composition data. The proof is created from page and font data encoded in any of a plurality of formats, such data including an identification of the particular format in which the data is encoded. The system processes the font data and page data a first time in accordance with the identification to derive an encoded representation of the glyph to be reproduced. The system processes the page data a second time in accordance with the identification to derive character and typesetting commands which together define the placement of the glyph on the reproduction medium. An output device is controlled by the system in accordance with the encoded glyph representation and the character and typesetting commands to create the proof on the reproduction medium.
