  • 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

  • Patent number: 5697661
    Abstract: A bag carrying and clip-on device, preferably of plastic, having a bag engaging portion for carrying multiple bags and a hand engaging portion formed so as to be comfortable to the hand of a wearer along with structure to facilitate the introduction and release of plastic bag handles to be held within the confines of the holder or carrier. The unique structure enables the device to be clipped onto a variety of surfaces particularly in the user's kitchen to enable the convenient unloading of bags by users.

  • Patent number: 4328718
    Abstract: Mechanically-adjustable, variable oscillator drive mechanism having fixed locations for a main input shaft, an intermediate shaft, and an output shaft, and including a crank arm member supported by the intermediate input shaft and intermittently oscillated thereby through a fixed rotation, a slidable drive block member carried within a track formed on the crank arm, a positionally-adjustable carrier bracket mounted on the output shaft and pivotally supporting a sector gear segment, the latter also being drivably supported by the drive block member, and a sector pinion gear segment connected to the output shaft and meshed with the sector gear segment. Adjustment of the carrier bracket and connected sector gear segment, relative to the intermittently oscillating crank arm member, varies the angle of oscillation transferred to the sector gear segment, whereby the oscillation of the driven sector pinion gear segment and connected output shaft is adjustably varied.
