  • Publication number: 20190336773
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, among other embodiments, systems and related methods for selecting electrode combinations to be used during nerve pacing procedures. A first set of electrode combinations of a nerve pacing system, such as a phrenic nerve pacing system for diaphragm activation, may be mapped (or tested) to determine the location of the electrode combinations relative to a target nerve. Once the general location of the target nerve is known, a more localized second set of electrode combinations may be tested to determine the most suitable electrode combinations for nerve stimulation. At various stages of the mapping process, electrode combinations that are non-optimal may be discarded as candidates for use in a nerve pacing procedure. The systems and methods described herein may allow for the selection of electrode combinations that are most suitable for stimulation of the left and right phrenic nerves during diaphragm pacing.

  • Publication number: 20190333034
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for validating transactions between a remote merchant system and an end-user terminal. In general, transaction information is received at a service provider regarding a transaction between the merchant system and an end user terminal, that includes transaction instructions on what actions need to be performed by the end user terminal in order for the merchant system to complete the transaction. The service provider generates a token ID that does not include a transaction identification nor a merchant system identification, but is linked to stored transaction instructions. The token ID is received from a remote point-of-sale (POS) terminal with presentment information that is validated against the transaction instructions to complete the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10413804
    Abstract: A boot form for a hockey skate is made of multiple plastic materials having different hardness properties, or different flexural moduli, and is formed via an injection-molding process or another similar process. One or more of the plastic materials may be reinforced with fibers of glass, carbon, aramid, or another stiffening material to strengthen one or more regions of the boot form. For example, pellets of a first plastic material having a flexural modulus of approximately 190 MPa (e.g., a polyamide elastomer block amide) may be injected into a mold to form a softer upper region of the boot form. And pellets of a second plastic having a flexural modulus of approximately 20,000 MPa (e.g., a Nylon 12 with long glass fibers) may be injected into the mold to form a stiffer lower region of the boot form. Additional skate components may then be attached to the boot form.
