Title: Electrical nerve stimulation based on channel specific sampling sequences
Inventor: ZIERHOFER CLEMENS M
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 2000-08-25
Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: A method of activating electrodes in a multichannel electrode array using channel specific sampling sequences is presented. A channel specific sampling sequence is defined for each electrode, the sequence having a particular duration, amplitude, and number of pulses. A weighting factor is applied to the channel specific sampling sequence. Each electrode in the multichannel electrode array is then simultaneously activated using sign-correlated pulses, the sign-correlated pulses based on parameters of spatial channel interaction, non-linear compression, and each electrode's weighted channel specific sampling sequence.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for effective removal of emboli or harmful fluids during vascular procedures, such as angiography, balloon angioplasty, stent deployment, laser angioplasty, atherectomy, intravascular ultrasonography and other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. A catheter (102) with an occluder (114) mounted at its distal end (106) creates an occlusion proximal to the lesion. The catheter (102) provides a pathway for introducing a treatment catheter. Prior to, during or subsequent to the procedure, suction is activated to establish retrograde flow to remove emboli from the site. Additionally, a thin catheter (120) with a distal fluid ejection nozzle may be introduced distal to the treatment site to rinse emboli from the treatment site. The suction flow and/or ejected fluid flow may be varied in a pulsatile manner to simulate regular blood flow and/or perturb settled emboli into being captured. The method establishes a protective environment before any devices enter the site to be treated.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates that by modifying chip die dicing methodology to a U-groove profile from a V-groove profile by modifying the second etch step to be a dry etch instead of a wet etch results in a direct cost savings by eliminating a more expensive process step, as well as the need for stripping the developed photoresist layer. Furthermore, going to a U-groove profile accomplishes additional indirect and greater cost savings resulting from increased process throughput, improved yield, and reduced metal layer defects.

Abstract: A system (10) and method (150) for maintaining large-grained database concurrency with a log monitor (26) incorporating dynamically redefinable business logic (94) are described.  Operations expressed in a data manipulation language are executed against a source database (51). At least one operation constitutes a commit operation that completes each database transaction. A current rule set (55) is defined. Each rule includes business logic (94) specifying a data selection criteria for records stored in the source database. A log entry (70) is periodically generated in a log (54) for each transaction committed to the source database (51). Each log entry (70) identifies an affected record and includes transactional data. The transaction identified in each log entry (70) is evaluated against the data selection criteria specified in the current rule set (55). A  new record (57) is built in accordance with metadata (56) describing a destination database (58).  The new record (57) contains select transactional data from the log entry (70) of each transaction meeting the selection criteria. The new record (57) is stored into the destination database(58).

Abstract: An improved heat shield provides for reduced noise transmission of vehicular engine components is disclosed. The heat shield has three layers; a first sheet layer, a center insulation layer, and a second sheet layer The insulation layer is positioned between the first and second sheet layers. The first sheet layer is defined by a variable shaped periphery that is folded over the periphery of the second sheet layer to form a hem having a variable length around the heat shield. The variable length serves to reduce uneven strain in the hem area experienced daring crush forming the heat shield into the final shape. Further, the variable length of the hem also serves to alter the resonate frequency of the heat shield in specific areas to reduce vibration and improve acoustical properties.
