  • Patent number: 11884122
    Abstract: A mechanical bypass for a shock assembly is disclosed herein. The assembly has a damper chamber having a compression portion and a rebound portion. There is further an external reservoir in fluid communication with the rebound portion of the damper chamber via a flow path. A valve is coupled with the flow path, the valve to meter a flow of the working fluid through the flow path. A bypass port to the external reservoir is provided in the flow path and bypasses the valve. A mechanical relief valve is provided in the bypass port to block a fluid flow though the bypass port until a blow-off pressure that is higher than a normal operating pressure and less than a burst pressure of the damping chamber is provided thereon.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220016413
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing curated neurostimulation are disclosed such that users are enabled to provide improved therapy in a home environment. Stimulation protocols can be assessed to provide improved targeted stimulation of a nerve and less unwanted side effects. Sets of stimulation montages and associated weights are defined and are selected or adjusted in pre-defined using pre-defined operations that simplify adjustment of characteristics of the stimulation field such as the geometry and location of the provided stimulation. Stimulation matrix pads are arranged and activated to provide advantages. Strategies for adjusting the intensity of the stimulation field incorporate weighting values in non-primary channels and are disclosed. Curated neurostimulation can also include providing defined schedules for events and activities related to the therapy such as providing schedules for stimulation treatment, surveying a user, providing education and remote user support.
