Abstract: According to various embodiments, systems, devices and methods for modulating targeted nerve fibers (e.g., hepatic neuromodulation) are provided. The systems may be configured to access tortuous anatomy of or adjacent hepatic vasculature. The systems may be configured to target nerves within a wall of (e.g., within adventitia surrounding a lumen of) an artery or other blood vessel, such as the common hepatic artery.

Abstract: A drivetrain assembly for a motor vehicle including a venting system. The drivetrain assembly includes an output shaft from a vehicle prime moreover component such as a transmission or transaxle. The output shaft is coupled to a propeller shaft through a constant velocity joint (CVJ) assembly. A flexible sealing boot encloses the CVJ between the output shaft and the propeller shaft. Internal components of the CVJ are vented by a first longitudinal passageway exposed to the internal volume of the CVJ extending longitudinally along the output shaft. A second radial passageway joins the longitudinal passageway and extends to the radially outer surface of the output shaft forming a second aperture. The passageways combine to provide pressure equalization between the CVJ internal volume and the atmosphere. An optional semi-permeable membrane may be mounted at the second aperture.

Abstract: An aquarium substrate cleaning system, including one or more motion-generating elements positioned within or beneath the aquarium substrate and a power and control system to control the activation and intensity of the motion-generation elements. The system allows for automated, hands-off maintenance and cleaning of substrates such as aquarium sandbeds. The motion from the device disrupts and liberates detritus from the substrate, allowing it to be removed by the water column.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method of treating a subject having diabetes or symptoms associated with diabetes is provided. The method includes delivering a neuromodulation catheter within a vessel (e.g., hepatic artery) having surrounding nerves that innervate the liver (e.g., sympathetic nerves of the hepatic plexus). The method may also include modulating (e.g., disrupting, ablating, stimulating) the nerves by mechanical compression, energy delivery, or fluid delivery.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a tester for printed circuit boards (PCBs) includes a test fixture having a plurality of electrical contacts for contacting the PCBs that are units under test (UUTs). The test fixture carries a remote test peripheral master (RTPM) module, and a remote test peripheral slave (RTPS) module. The RTPM module and the RTPS module are connected through a remote test peripheral (RTP) bus.
