  • Publication number: 20240123234
    Abstract: An examples of a system for delivering neurostimulation to a patient may include a stimulation output circuit configured to deliver the neurostimulation, a sensing circuit configured to sense a neural signal indicative of neural responses to the neurostimulation, and stimulation control circuit. The stimulation control circuit may be configured to control the delivery of the neurostimulation using a plurality of stimulation parameters and may be configured to detect morphological features of the neural responses, to produce a neural response parameter using the detected morphological features, to detect a change in the sensed neural signal, to analyze the produced neural response parameter for attributing the detected change to one of a neural activation change in the patient or a body movement of the patient, and to control a dynamically controlled stimulation parameter of the plurality of stimulation parameters using the sensed neural signal and an outcome of the analysis.

  • Patent number: 5580670
    Abstract: A heavily thermally stressable component comprising a graphite and a metal part, e.g., copper or a copper alloy, soldered together. Between the solder and the metal part there is an intermediate layer comprising chromium or an alloy containing a substantial proportion of chromium with copper and/or nickel additives. This special intermediate layer provides a good bond between the graphite and the metal which remains stable even under the heaviest cyclic thermal stresses.
