    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pulse generator device for trigeminal nerve stimulation. In one embodiment, the pulse generator device comprises a processor(s) configured to: produce pulses delivered to an electrode assembly for a therapy session(s) for a patient, log data from the therapy session(s) (where the data comprises impedance of the electrode assembly connected to the pulse generator and current amplitude of the pulses), determine an average current amplitude from the data, determine an average therapy impedance from the data, determine a charge capacity of a battery of the pulse generator prior to beginning a subsequent therapy session, determine whether the charge capacity of the battery is sufficient to complete the subsequent therapy session for a designated duration of time by using the average current amplitude and the average therapy impedance. Further the pulse generator device comprises a display configured to display a screen comprising a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Publication number: 20240310043
    Abstract: A fuel regulator, such for use in a commercial boiler, can include a control valve plumbed between a source line and a feed line. The feed line can be coupled to a burner configured to burn fuel supplied thereto at a range of pressures and the source line can be coupled to a source of fuel configured to supply the fuel at a pressure higher than the range of pressures. One or more sensors can be configured to detect an operating level of the burner. One or more actuators can be configured to control the valve according to the sensor and thereby control a flame from the burner.

  • Publication number: 20240091541
    Abstract: A system for treating cardiac arrhythmias comprising a generator including: a sensing circuitry configured to evaluate one or more identified signals representative of electrical activity of the heart and detect an arrhythmia, a control circuitry that is configured to control delivery of a therapy in response to the detected arrhythmia, the therapy including a first stage of electrical pulses delivered via at least a first electrode, wherein the first set of electrical pulses is configured to destabilize and/or terminate a reentry associated with the arrhythmia, and a first lead coupled to the generator, wherein the first lead includes the first electrode. The therapy further includes a second stage of electrical pulses delivered via the first electrode and/or a second electrode, wherein the second stage of pulses is configured to terminate the reentry; and an inter-stage delay separating the first and second stages of electrical pulses.

  • Patent number: 11757263
    Abstract: According to one example, a spark plug gapping tool includes a first side handle, a second side handle, a middle handle, and a pusher that are made of a non-metallic material. The middle handle is positioned in-between the first side handle and the second side handle, and has a stopper surface and an insert slot that can receive a feeler gauge insert. The pusher is rotatably positioned in-between the first side handle and the second side handle, and has a hollow housing that can receive a terminal end of a spark plug. In operation, a distal end of the middle handle and distal ends of the side handles can move closer together, when a proximal end of the middle handle and proximal ends of the side handles are moved closer together by a user's hand, so as to gap the spark plug.

  • Patent number: 11733047
    Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide for production of geographically located, accurate indoor maps of physical spaces and provide navigation guidance for users in physical spaces, and process requests for users related to available physical space within said physical spaces. Aggregated information about the physical spaces is curated and converted using automated procedures into a data model that contains all elements of said physical spaces, including geographic data about the physical space's location on the globe. The system and computer program embodiments retrieve the converted data, load it on mobile devices or computers, rendering it on these devices in the correct global geographic context, allowing users to interact with the data to select rooms, and send and receive requests to and from external systems regarding these selections. Users navigate within the physical spaces using mobile devices and the computer program embodiments in tandem to provide accurate directions and guidance.

  • Publication number: 20230160934
    Abstract: A system for ensuring that electrically powered medical equipment is properly grounded includes a current sensor that senses current flowing within a ground connection conductor (e.g., leakage current) for the medical equipment. The sensor may operate based on induced current. Measured current is converted to a voltage value, and the voltage value is analyzed by a processor to determine whether current is present in the ground connection conductor. If no current is present, the ground connection conductor may be faulty. If current is present, the system can also identify voltage-to-patient fault conditions.
