  • Publication number: 20240257810
    Abstract: A method for programming a stimulation device of a stimulation system using a programming device includes providing a set of programming commands for the programming device that include a first programming command increasing a stimulation amplitude and a second programming command includes decreasing the stimulation amplitude; receiving a verbal communication by a voice command handler of the programming device or in communication with the programming device; determining whether the verbal communication is a trigger word and, when the verbal communication is the trigger word, entering a triggered state, wherein, after entering the triggered state, the programming device remains in the triggered state until a one of at least one stop condition is met; and, when in the triggered state, determining whether the verbal communication is one of the programming commands and, when the verbal communication is one of the programming commands, executing the one of the programming commands.

  • Publication number: 20220401740
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing sub-perception spinal cord stimulation are described. In some examples, the stimulation current is shared among three or more anodes and three or more cathodes to provide virtual poles that are configured to cover a relatively large area of the patient's neural tissue that contains the “sweet spot” for treating the patient's pain. Covering a relatively large area mitigates the need to perform time-intensive sweet spot searching. In some examples, one or more stimulation parameters are varied while the stimulation is being provided.

  • Patent number: 9674179
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method can include navigating, by a browser of a client system, to an online service and detecting, by the browser, access to the online service. The method can further include determining, by a login module of the browser, an association between the online service and a user-application account included in the browser, the association being included in a list of trusted services included in the login module. The method can also include providing, by the browser to the online service, a username and password for authentication by the online service and receiving, by the browser from the online service, an authenticated credential corresponding with the username and password. Responsive to receiving the authenticated credential, the method can still further include logging into the user-application account, by the login module, using the authenticated credential.

  • Publication number: 20160156613
    Abstract: Pass through service login for an application can include receiving, within a client system, a credential from a Web-based service responsive to a successful authentication of a user of the client system to the Web-based service. The user can be logged into the application executing within the client system using the credential.

  • Patent number: 8295490
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing an encryption key to a user are provided. The system may include a key storage module, an interface module, and an authentication module. The key storage module may be configured to store an encryption key for a user on an encryption key server, wherein the encryption key is used with user data on a data storage server. The interface module may be configured to receive a request for the encryption key from a client machine associated with the user. The authentication module may be configured to authenticate the user, wherein the interface module may further be configured to transmit the encryption key to the client machine in response to authenticating the user.
