Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling the composition of gases within a cargo container. The apparatus includes at least one sensor, at least one controller and at least one gas permeable membrane being adapted to facilitate the passage there through of different molecules at different rates. Said membrane defining a first region and a second region, the first region being for holding cargo and the second region defining a gas buffer region, said at least one inlet and/or outlet being in communication with said buffer region. The invention further relates to a container.

Abstract: A system for transporting live aquatic animals between shipping points, said system comprising water filled tank units 300 for containing the live animals in a life supporting aquatic environment during the transport; and a refrigerated marine container 200 provided with means 240, 250, 260 for cooling, aerating and circulating the water in said tank units at least during the transport; said system further comprising docking stations 100 situated at said shipping points, said docking stations comprising docking means for receiving said refrigerated marine container 200 containing said tank units 300; and means 120, 130, 140 for providing a life supporting aquatic environment for the live aquatic animals in said tank units 300 placed in said refrigerated marine container 200 while the refrigerated marine container 200 is attached to the docking station 100.

Abstract: A gas permeable membrane comprising a thin polymeric coating on a microporous backing, said gas permeable membrane being permeable permitting for oxygen and carbon dioxide at different flow rates, wherein the gas permeable membrane is made from a copolymer of a polyether and a polyamide enables the achievement of a controlled atmosphere in a cargo region, wherein the membrane is able to obtain and hold low concentrations of carbon dioxide and of oxygen in the atmosphere in the cargo region and to produce an “ideal” or optimum storage atmosphere which will ensure a retardation of respiratory activity within the container.
