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.

Abstract: Embodiments of delivery systems, devices and methods for delivering a prosthetic heart valve device to a heart chamber for expanded implementation are disclosed. More specifically, methods, systems and devices are disclosed for delivering a self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve device to the left atrium, with no engagement of the left ventricle, the native mitral valve leaflets or the annular tissue downstream of the upper annular surface during delivery, and in some embodiments with no engagement of the ventricle, mitral valve leaflets and/or annular tissue located downstream of the upper annular surface by the delivered, positioned and expanded prosthetic mitral valve device.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for collecting neonatal blood following the birth of an infant during cesarean section surgery. A needle is injected into the infant's umbilical cord and a syringe fluidly connected to the needle is aspirated to draw blood from the cord. The drawn blood is transferred to a blood storage bag in a sterile manner.

Abstract: Apparatus for inscribing characters or other symbols onto moving articles or substrate. The symbols or characters are defined by a matrix having a predetermined number of rows and columns. The apparatus includes a plurality of individual lasers, each dedicated to write a predetermined character row. Columns are written in sequence as the article passes the laser head. Light energy from the lasers is directed by mirrors to an exit lens which focuses the laser beams onto the articles or substrate to be marked. Separate laser mirrors provide reduction in laser beam spacing thereby facilitating a correspondingly foreshortened laser beam path. The lasers are arranged into two groups and interleaved to form the desired character row spacing without mirror overlap or shadowing.
