Abstract: A wireless implantable neuromuscular stimulator includes an antenna for producing an induced current in response to being disposed in an electromagnetic field. The antenna includes a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface. An upper coil including a plurality of coil turns is disposed on the upper surface of the substrate. A lower coil including a plurality of coil turns is disposed on the lower surface of the substrate. The upper and lower coils are electrically connected to each other in parallel. The parallel connection can be facilitated by a plurality of connectors that extend through the substrate and electrically connect the upper coil to the lower coil. In one example configuration, connectors connect each coil turn of the upper coil to a corresponding turn of the lower coil.

Abstract: A collapsible colander and bowl that is extendable to an expanded configuration to selectively form a colander, bowl, or container and foldable to a compact collapsed configuration for storage. The collapsible colander includes an upper rim defining an opening, a perforated bottom panel, a sidewall, a removable top lid, and a removable bottom lid. The sidewall has an upper end secured to the upper rim and a lower end secured to the perforated bottom panel. The sidewall is expandable and collapsible between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The removable top lid attaches to the upper rim, and the removable bottom lid attaches to the perforated bottom panel.
