Title: Implantable medical devices and methods for real-time or near real-time adjustment of diaphragmatic stimulation parameters to affect pressures within the intrathoracic cavity
Inventor: BAUER PETER T
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2021-11-15
Granted: 2023-07-20
Abstract: A controller detects a cyclic cardiac event of the patient based on a signal obtained from one or 
more electrodes configured for placement on or near a diaphragm, and delivers an electrical 
stimulation therapy to a diaphragm of the patient through the one or more electrodes. The delivery 
of electrical stimulation therapy is timed to the detection of the cyclic cardiac event, and the 
electrical stimulation therapy is defined by stimulation parameters. The controller monitors a 
pressure associated with the intrathoracic cavity of the patient based on a signal provided by a 
pressure measurement source configured to provide a signal indicative of a pressure within an 
intrathoracic cavity, to determine whether an adjustment of one or more of the stimulation 
parameters is warranted.

Abstract: A cam mechanism incorporating a highly precise bearing structure that improves the dynamic stability of the cam mechanism's rotating output component. Relevant structures consist of a worm gear driven rotating shaft (4) driving a rotating output shaft (7) supported by a cross roller bearing assembly (20) incorporating V-shaped inner and outer bearing races (25,27) that sandwich and ride over a set of rollers (23). Of particular note is that the outer or inner bearing race may be formed as a groove machined directly into the circumferential surface of the output shaft. Because the outer bearing race is a ring-shaped structure that concentrically surrounds the rotating output shaft, the output shaft and bearing races can be machined simultaneously as a single workpiece to assure a high degree of concentricity between the shaft and bearing races. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An intravascular catheter system for the treatment of occluded blood vessels that includes tissue displacement or hinged expansion members that are movable from a closed to an open position. An actuating assembly may be provided for moving the tissue expansion members between an open and closed position to exert a substantially lateral distal end force upon the region surrounding an occluded blood vessel. The tissue expansion members may stretch apart, tear or otherwise disrupt a vascular occlusion sufficiently to create a pathway that may support the passage or placement of a guidewire or an interventional vascular device across the occlusion or obstruction. Methods of crossing or displacing a vascular occlusion are further provided that include the positioning of a vascular catheter having at least one hinged spreading member positioned at the distal region of the catheter that is responsive to directed force along the longitudinal axis of the catheter. A directed force is applied to the actuator in order to deploy the spreading member and displace a vascular occlusion creating a path to permit the passage of a guidewire or device therethrough.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a process for the oxygen delignification of pulp consisting of lignocellulose-containing material whose mean concentration is 8-18% pulp consistency, in at least two stages.  The invention is characterized in that the oxygen delignification takes place in a first stage with a short dwell time of approx. 3-6 minutes, at a low temperature of approx. 85 DEG C and under a low pressure of approx. 0-4 bar, followed by a concluding stage with a longer dwell time of approx. 50-90 minutes, at a higher temperature of approx. 100 DEG C and under a higher pressure of approx. 8-10 bar.  This makes it possible, in an industrial process, to exploit the kinetics of the oxygen delignification in an optimal manner for the purpose of obtaining a selective oxygen delignification at low installation cost and at low operating cost. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A signal driver for reducing harmonic content in switching currents while preventing unnecessary power dissipation. The signal driver includes at least two series-connected semiconductor switches. One of the two switches having a low-threshold, and the other switch having a high-threshold. To discharge a capacitance load connected to one of the two switches, the high-threshold switch is switched on first. Next, the low-threshold switch is switched on. By turning on the two switches in this order, less harmonic content is introduced into the current flowing through the switches. Further, the two switches in series prevent unnecessary current leakage.
