Patent number: 11905894Abstract: An internal combustion engine-based system includes an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes an engine interrupt connected to the engine. The engine interrupt is configured to selectively stop the operation of the engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a controller in communication with the engine interrupt. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a carbon monoxide detector in communication with the controller. The controller uses the engine interrupt to stop the operation of the engine when the carbon monoxide detector provides the controller with signals that are representative of a carbon monoxide level proximate the internal combustion engine that together form a trend of building carbon monoxide amounts over a set time interval.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Generac Power Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. Wischstadt, Adam M. Schroeder, Mitchell L. Horn, Brandon Schmidt, Kevin Cole, Tod R. Tesch

Patent number: 8463399Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to medical electrical leads. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to leads having one or more drug-eluting components that are overmolded or otherwise positioned on the lead. Other embodiments relate to leads having one or more patterned surfaces, including some leads with one or more patterned surfaces over which one or more drug-eluting components are positioned. Further implementations relate to leads having one or more overmolded patterned surfaces, including some embodiments in which the overmolded surfaces contain at least one drug-eluting component.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Jeannette C. Polkinghorne, Joseph A. Cihlar, Mitchell L. Horn-Wyffels, Joseph J. Nelsen, Raymond Gessler, Erin K. Webb, Joseph J. Schachtner, Arienne P. Simon, Andrew De Kock

Patent number: 8126571Abstract: A cardiac lead includes a lead body that defines a passage, a conductive element that extends through the passage, and a fixation assembly. The fixation assembly includes a threaded member threadably engaged with the conductive element such that rotation of the threaded member causes the threaded member to translate longitudinally relative to the conductive element. A fixation element has a first end coupled to the threaded member and a second end coupled to a fixed location. A resilient membrane extends over the fixation element such that rotation of the threaded member affects the resilient membrane radially with respect to the conductive element.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventor: Mitchell L. Horn-Wyffels
