Abstract: A lamp having a candle-like appearance and using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as its light source. Light is emitted from only a small volume at or near the bulb's center. Heat sink and control electronics are outside the bulb. Inside the bulb, a set of secondary optics guides light to an emission point at a prescribed location in the bulb's interior. The secondary optics include a light pipe that guides light away from an LED chip, and a volume scattering element, made from a transparent base material and including transparent particles of a predetermined size and refractive index, that receives light from the light pipe, scattering it. The density of particles in the volume scattering element, the particle size, and the particle refractive index are chosen to produce a scattering pattern that directs more light toward the bulb's base, while maintaining reasonable efficiency.

Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems and methods for determining if a nerve is nearby a device or portion of a device.  The neural stimulation tools described herein are configured to be flexible and low-profile, so that they can be used within body regions that may be tortuous or difficult to reach, such as within a compressed or partially occluded neural foramen. In most cases, these tools described herein are ribbon-shaped and adapted to be manipulated bimanually, for example, by applying force to the ends of the devices from separate locations outside of the patient's body.  Thus, in some of the exemplary neural localization devices described herein, the distal end region of the device are configured to couple to the proximal end of a guidewire. One or more surfaces of the devices may include an electrode or multi-polar network of electrodes configured to stimulate only nerves within a predetermined distance of a particular face of the device.
