  • Patent number: 11957894
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11960340
    Abstract: A method for controlling a data processing system includes detecting a droop in a power supply voltage of a functional circuit of the data processing system greater than a programmable droop threshold. An operation of the data processing system is throttled according to a programmable step size, a programmable assertion time, and a programmable de-assertion time in response to detecting the droop.

  • Patent number: 8031458
    Abstract: A composite moving apparatus made substantially of composites may include a plurality of longitudinal conductive electrical pathways extending along a substantial length of the composite moving apparatus, and a plurality of lateral conductive electrical pathways extending along a substantial lateral width of the composite moving apparatus. The longitudinal and lateral conductive electrical pathways may be connected in order to provide redundant electrical pathways extending along a substantial portion of the composite moving apparatus. The redundant electrical pathways may carry return current, carry fault current, provide grounding, carry lightning current, provide electromagnetic shielding, minimize resistance and voltage differential, and/or provide a bleed path for electrostatic charge.

  • Patent number: 5868012
    Abstract: A chain lock for locking the wheel of a motorcycle or bicycle and a series of travelling certificates is provided. The chain lock includes a locking body having a combination locking device and a novel locking mechanism disposed therein, a chain or a flexible wire having at a first end an obturator embedded into the locking body and controlling the activity of the locking mechanism in cooperation with the combination locking device and a plug at a second end of the chain which is lockable by a latch and ejectable from the locking body by an ejector when the plug is unlockable. The obturator is operated as a hiding key for enhancing the anti-burglar effect of the chain lock.
