Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are disclosed for delivering stimulation therapy to a patient. In one example, a medical device senses, via one or more electrodes, one or more oscillations of a bioelectrical signal of a brain of a patient. In response to sensing the one or more oscillations, the medical device generates a plurality of bursts of stimulation therapy pulses, the plurality of bursts comprising an inter-burst frequency selected based on a frequency of the one or more oscillations of the bioelectrical signal. Further, the medical device delivers the plurality of bursts of stimulation therapy pulses to the patient to modulate a state of the patient associated with the one or more oscillations of the bioelectrical signal.

Abstract: An implantable medical device that includes a microprocessor that characterizes cardiac activity of a patient to enable the implantable medical device to deliver therapy in response to an identified arrhythmia event. A monitor/controller monitors the characterized cardiac activity and the delivered therapy, and controls activation of triggered overdrive pacing subsequent to the delivered therapy.

Abstract: A cartridge heater for mounting in the bore hole of a device to heat the device, having an improved release coating to facilitate the removal of the cartridge heater from the bore hole subsequent to operation at elevated temperatures, wherein the release coating is a fast-drying, graphite-based solid film lubricant that bonds to the heater.
