Patent number: 11957893Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: August 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Brad C. Tischendorf, John E. Kast, Thomas P. Miltich, Gordon O. Munns, Randy S. Roles, Craig L. Schmidt, Joseph J. Viavattine, Christian S. Nielsen, Prabhakar A. Tamirisa, Anthony M. Chasensky, Markus W.

Patent number: 9764918Abstract: Composite tape is laminated onto a substrate using a gantry to move a tape laminating head along the length of the substrate. The laminating head is mounted for movement along a beam on the gantry that extends across the width of the substrate. The direction of lamination may be altered by changing the angular orientation of the beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Thomas J. Hagman, Gregory Lowman Branch, James P. Dwyer, Brian Edward Hood, Erik Lund, Wade Matthew Morris, Jonathan Richard Schwedhelm, Thomas C. Stone

Patent number: 6508608Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for treating base materials, such as ore of a leach pad in a precious metal mining operation. A tilling head of the apparatus includes a cutter having a cutting face for engaging and loosening compacted base materials. The tilling head is extended into the base material down to a tilling depth so that the cutter moves loosened base material up and over the top of the tiller apparatus before depositing it in a pile opposite the cutting face. The loosened base material is deposited a distance from the tilling head that is sufficient to create a void between the tilling head and the pile that extends down to the tilling depth to prevent the loosened base material from being disturbed by the tilling head. The tilling head can be positioned so that the cutting face undercuts the base material to thereby assist the cutter in moving the loosened base material and increase the distance between the tilling head and the pile.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2000Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Tracsaw Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Ron Nilson, Thomas C.
