  • Patent number: 11957893
    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.

  • Patent number: 11932979
    Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having an access opening providing access to the interior. A tub can be located within the interior and can at least partially define a liquid chamber. A drum is rotatably mounted within the liquid chamber and at least partially defines a treating chamber. A clothes mover is located within the treating chamber and rotatable about a vertical axis. The clothes mover can include a base and a barrel.

  • Patent number: 4567730
    Abstract: A radial lip of a high temperature combustor liner is mechanically locked in a radially directed capture slot in a supporting shell of a combustor. In one embodiment, the capture slot is formed at abutting edges of shell sections which are joined by a weld bead. The weld bead is accessible for grinding off to provide access to the liner for replacement. In embodiments in which a plurality of liner sections are employed, a downstream end of a liner section overlaps and shields an upstream end of an adjacent liner section including the radial lip thereof to protect the radial lip and capture slot from temperatures in the combustion zone and to channel a sheet flow of film cooling air along an inner surface of the adjacent liner. Positioning bosses may be included between adjacent liner sections for centering.

  • Patent number: 4012535
    Abstract: A process for making a dense, high molasses animal feed impregnated on a ground bagasse or bagasse pith carrier. The ground bagasse or bagasse pith is capable of absorbing up to about 5 times by weight high brix molasses to produce a feed product having about 30-55% by weight sugars determined as invert. The ground bagasse or bagasse pith, from which the major portion of the cane juice has been removed for the manufacture of cane sugar, is thoroughly mixed with molasses and the wet mixture, which contains from about 15-30% by weight water, is wet pelleted. Uniform penetration of molasses throughout the carrier is obtained. The molasses/bagasse (bagasse pith) pellets are then dried to a moisture level less than about 2-4% and cooled. The dry, dense pellets can then be packed and shipped without further processing, or they may be subjected to a crumbling step to make a granular product for blended animal feeds and as a principal component in molasses/salt blocks, and medicated feeds.
