  • Patent number: 12172025
    Abstract: A method of treating dysautonomia in a human via transcranial magnetic stimulation is provided. The method includes positioning an induction device in proximity to a head region adjacent a prefrontal cortical brain region of the human and delivering magnetic stimulation to the prefrontal cortical region of the human by applying current to the induction device at a frequency that promotes inhibition (e.g., a frequency of about 5 Hertz or less, or certain types of theta bursts). The transcranial magnetic stimulation can introduce variability and/or have a modulatory or a disinhibitory effect on an autonomic nervous system of the human. For instance, the transcranial magnetic stimulation can increase a level of heart rate variability in the human by having a positive modulatory effect on the autonomic nervous system in which autonomic balance is achieved or restored as a result of the stimulation.

  • Publication number: 20050263392
    Abstract: Production of pure metals through electro-winning and electro-deposition is accomplished by electrolytic deposition of metal over a reusable stainless-steel plate (cathode). Metal is deposited on both faces of the cathode, as well as on its edges, creating problems when removing the deposited metal. Breaking the deposited edges to remove the metal deposited on both faces produces irregular edges, folding and damages to the surface of the cathode, requiring re-processing, increasing costs of the deposited metal, as well as repairs or replacement of the cathodes. This invention includes a structure made of insulating material to which are fixed electrically energizable cathode guidance profiles with a cross-section similar to an omega and which house the edges of the cathodes, holding them in position during the process.
