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.

Abstract: The invention provides novel sample chambers, sample analysis units, multi-well plates, and imaging and analytical systems as well as methods for accurate, efficient and high-throughput imaging, measurement and analysis of diverse types of biological cells to obtain information such as cell count, cell size, cell concentration, cell sub-population, cell morphology, cell viability, etc.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a closure assembly for use with a container (e.g., an aerosol can). The closure assembly includes a skirt and a protective cap. In some embodiments, a lock feature temporarily attaches the protective cap to the container and increases a force required for a user to remove the protective cap. In some embodiments, an inner lock opening of the skirt is configured to be registered with an outer lock opening to receive a locking element therethrough. In some embodiments, a set screw is positioned in the skirt to selectively allow or inhibit relative rotation between the skirt and the protective cap. In some embodiments, a biasing element selectively allows or inhibits engagement of threads of the protective cap with the threads of the skirt depending upon application of an axial force to overcome a biasing force of the biasing element.

Abstract: A substrate (200) to which a component (210) is mounted includes at least two mounting pads (215, 220) formed thereon for electrically coupling to a single terminal of the component (210) and for aligning the component (210) on the substrate (200) during a reflow operation.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus provide a surface mountable package (100) with leads (150) having free end portions (355) coplanar in a target plane (370). The method includes forming the leads (150) such that the free end portions (355) angle away from the target plane (370), and biasing the free end portions (355) against a biasing surface (365) integral to the package (100) such that the free end portions (355) are forced toward the target plane (370) and into a coplanar state. The apparatus includes a housing (110), a plurality of leads (150) with free end portions (355) preformed to angle away from the target plane (370) mounted onto the housing (110), and a biasing surface (365), located on the package (100), to bias the free end portions (355) toward the target plane (370).
