  • 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: 10298615
    Abstract: An origin server selectively enables an intermediary (e.g., an edge server) to shunt into and out of an active TLS session that is on-going between a client and the origin server. The technique allows for selective pieces of a data stream to be delegated from an origin to the edge server for the transmission (by the edge server) of authentic cached content, but without the edge server having the ability to obtain control of the entire stream or to decrypt arbitrary data after that point. The technique enables an origin to authorize the edge server to inject cached data at certain points in a TLS session, as well as to mathematically and cryptographically revoke any further access to the stream until the origin deems appropriate.

  • Patent number: 5599258
    Abstract: A step for aerobic exercise has a stationary base support (A) carrying in telescopic relation, an upper member (B) which is manually moveable for making height adjustments by selectively engaging interlocking elements (C) and (D) carried by the stationary support, and the moveable upper member respectively so that a user may approach the step from any direction for exercising or for making height adjustments by moving the upper member (B) engaging and disengaging the interlocking elements by manipulating the vertical and horizontal positioning of the upper member with respect to the stationary member.
