  • Publication number: 20160220836
    Abstract: The device and method for phase-locking brain stimulation to electroencephalographic rhythms improves the accuracy, specificity, and effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation devices by timing pulses of brain stimulation to occur in synchrony with naturally occurring brain rhythms measured at the scalp of a patient in order to treat an assortment of neurological and psychiatric conditions. The device and method provided herein improve non-invasive brain stimulation techniques by time-locking the onset of brain stimulation to the phase of naturally-occurring rhythmic oscillations of brain activity that can be recorded with electroencephalography (EEG). The device and method perform real-time signal analysis of a specified EEG rhythm, extract frequency-domain phase information to estimate the next occurrence of a desired EEG rhythm phase, and trigger a brain stimulation pulse so as to align precisely with this predicted EEG phase.

  • Patent number: 9166405
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for controlling power delivered to a power-consuming device. The device can harvest power from a conductor carrying a high voltage using a power harvesting device. The device can include a power storage device to power a hardware processor and a communication component when there is no voltage flowing through the conductor. The device can determine when a control event is to occur. At such time, the device terminates control power delivered to the power-consuming device and continues to withhold the control power until the control event expires. When the control event has ended, the device allows control power to flow to the power-consuming device. The device uses a timer and the communication component to send and receives signals associated with a control event to a user. The device can also operate in a limited mode to conserve power when the device is not in use.

  • Publication number: 20150173836
    Abstract: Sterile drapes for C-arm X-ray devices that allow users to easily maintain sterility in a surgical field as the C-arm is rotated or moved around a patient are described. The sterile drape contains a slide rail assembly configured to be connected to a C-arm of an X-ray device that extends from a lower portion of the C-arm to an upper portion of the C-arm, a sterile drape assembly comprising a length of compliant material, the sterile drape assembly configured to be detachably coupled to the upper portion of the C-arm and to the slide rail assembly, and an anchor assembly configured to be connected to the X-ray device at one end and configured to be connected to the sterile drape assembly at the other end so that the anchor assembly draws the sterile drape assembly along the slide rail assembly as the C-arm is rotated. The sterile drape is connected to the X-ray device so that one end of the sterile drape assembly remains in substantially the same position regardless of the movement of the C-arm.
