  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20020065915
    Abstract: A system and method for server-host communication connection management allows for reductions in lag time experienced by client computers in requesting access to host computers through server computers. The system includes a pool of screen objects that are available for subsequent use to provide access to the host computers for the client computers. The system also includes a screen pool manager that monitors the number of available screen objects and initiates creation of additional available screen objects to maintain a sufficient number to reduce lag time while also enforcing a maximum limit of available screen objects to not unduly burden resources of the server computers and the host computers. In an exemplary embodiment, increment, load value, and maximum are used to implement control of both minimum and maximum numbers of unused screen objects that are available.

  • Patent number: 6337743
    Abstract: The invention is a method and system for determining an address from a print stream. Address determination begins by initiating the print stream at a remote application. The print stream is transmitted through a graphical driver interface to a virtual driver where a system operator can select a data interface mode such as an eavesdrop mode and an intercept mode. The eavesdrop mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream through to the output device while producing a duplicate copy of the print stream for transmission to a server which is linked to an address parsing module for parsing the print stream. The intercept mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream directly to the server for parsing the print stream. The server will in turn pass the print stream to an output device such as a printer or monitor over transmission means. Parsing of the print stream to obtain address data is performed in accordance with instructions resident in the module.

  • Patent number: 5284363
    Abstract: A multi-layer label for displaying information is disclosed which includes at least two layers which may be repeatedly partially separated and re-adhered to one another, such that a portion of the outer surface of a lower layer is exposed upon separation of a portion of an upper layer from it. The inner surface of the upper layer of the label is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. To form a lift tab for the upper layer at least one corner of the inner surface is either coated with varnish to deaden the adhesive, or alternatively, a corner is not coated with adhesive. The outer surface of the lower layer is selectively coated with an adhesive release material such that the coated portion releasably bonds to the inner surface of the upper layer, and, the portion of the outer surface of the lower layer not coated with the adhesive release layer permanently bonds to the upper layer thus forming a hinge between the two layers. A method and apparatus for manufacturing a multi-layer label is also disclosed.
