  • Patent number: 10282076
    Abstract: Described are techniques for rendering a user interface display of an application. Inputs are provided to a mapping engine. The inputs may include environmental inputs, profiles (including customized user maps), capabilities, storage management patterns or maps, and historical data. The mapping engine determines, in accordance with the inputs, a set of operations relevant to a user that interacts with a user interface of the application at a current point in time. The set of operations may define a subset of functionality of the application customized for the user. A set of user interface elements may be rendered where the user interface elements rendered correspond to the set of operations relevant to the user.

  • Publication number: 20190008386
    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) energy is transmitted through the application of a RF signal to an external RF energy interface, where the RF signal oscillates at a frequency in an energy transmission band. The transmitted RF energy is received at an implanted medical device, and energy derived from the received RF energy is stored in a direct current (DC) energy storage component of the device. A therapeutic output signal is generated from the stored energy and delivered by the implantable medical device to a patient through one or more electrodes. The therapeutic output signal is configurable to provide either one of RF stimulation therapy and RF ablation therapy, and comprises pulses of an RF signal oscillating at a frequency in a therapy band that is greater than the energy transmission band.
