Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, transcutaneously at a first conductor of a power adapter and from an electrical pulse generator, a first energy having at least a first characteristic, the power adapter having a housing forming the first conductor, a second conductor disposed in the housing and electrically connected to an implantable electrical conductor coupled to the power adapter, and a sleeve disposed about a portion of the housing to electrically insulate the second conductor from the first energy outside of the sleeve;
converting, via a rectification circuit disposed in the housing, the first energy to a second energy having at least a second characteristic different from the first characteristic, the rectification circuit electrically connected between the first conductor and a second conductor; and
transferring, from the rectification circuit and to the implantable electrical conductor via the second conductor, the second energy such that a stimulating electrode of the implantable electrical conductor applies the second energy to a target nerve internal to a body.
