Publication number: 20240414265Abstract: One example device may be configured to determine that a destination public safety answering point (PSAP) of a received first call operates in a legacy PSAP domain. In response such a determination, the device may determine whether the first call is of a first type of call that includes an original number identification or of a second type of call that does not include an original number identification. In response to determining that the first call is of the first type, the device may deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with an original number identification of the first call. In response to determining that the first call is of the second type, the device may generate a crafted number identification for the first call, and deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with the crafted number identification.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Steve Mardakis, Timothy John Manczko, Michel Moubarak, Michael Jay Nelson, Scott J. Pappas

Patent number: 8738148Abstract: System for transcutaneous energy transfer. An implantable medical device, adapted to be implanted in a patient, has componentry for providing a therapeutic output. The implantable medical device has an internal power source and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the internal power source. An external power source, having a primary coil, provides energy to the implantable medical device when the primary coil of the external power source is placed in proximity of the secondary coil of the implantable medical device and thereby generates a current in the internal power source. An alignment indicator reports the alignment as a function of the current generated in the internal power source with a predetermined value associated with an expected alignment between the primary coil and secondary coil.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: David P. Olson, Andrew L. Schmeling, Steve J. Nelson

Patent number: 7263406Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a patient programmer for an implantable medical device. The patient programmer may include one or more of a variety of features that may enhance performance, support mobility and compactness, or promote patient convenience. For example, a patient programmer may include both an internal antenna for RF telemetry with an implantable medical device and a display. The patient programmer may include a processor or other control circuitry that selectively disables. i.e., turns off, the display during RF telemetry with the internal antenna to promote more reliable communication. The processor or control circuitry also may disable electronics associated with the display during a telemetry session. In this manner, the programmer can be configured to reduce the impact of electrical and electromagnetic noise on telemetry performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Alex C.
