  • Publication number: 20230158314
    Abstract: A method for minimally invasive deep brain simulation (DBS) involves obtaining a target location for the DBS, obtaining an anatomical model, and simulatively determining, for a set of antennas endocranially implanted at first positions and emitting electromagnetic waves differing by a frequency offset, a first envelope signal at the target location, using the anatomical model. The first envelope signal resulting from interference of the electromagnetic waves at the target location has an envelope signal frequency corresponding to the frequency offset.

  • Patent number: 8920770
    Abstract: A technique is described including receiving a hydrocarbon stream, and heating the hydrocarbon stream with an exhaust steam from an internal combustion engine. This technique may include reacting the hydrocarbon stream catalytically to produce hydrogen and a modified hydrocarbon stream having a lower saturation state than the hydrocarbon stream, recovering energy from the hydrogen stream, and/or providing the modified hydrocarbon stream to a fuel supply for the internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20100247238
    Abstract: A parking stall barrier includes an elongated horizontal member and a pair of supports. The pair of supports are positioned in spaced relation and support the opposed ends of the horizontal member. The horizontal member is movable vertically along the supports between a raised barrier position and a lowered access position. A locking latch mechanism secures the horizontal member in the raised barrier position. When the locking latch mechanism is released, the horizontal member can be moved from the raised barrier position to the lowered access position to facilitate vehicle ingress and egress.
