Title: EMG guidance for probe placement, nearby tissue preservation, and lesion confirmation
Inventor: SCHEPIS ERIC A
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2018-01-25
Granted: 2023-07-13
Abstract: A system and method for locating a target nerve associated with a facet joint via nerve stimulation and monitoring of electrical muscle activity in a multifidus muscle adjacent the target nerve are described. The system includes a probe housed within a cannula and comprising a probe electrode; a recording electrode for monitoring electrical muscle activity in a medial fascicle of the multifidus muscle; a signal generator; and a controller coupled to the probe electrode and recording electrode. The controller delivers a nerve stimulation from the signal generator to the nerve via the probe electrode and monitors electrical muscle activity in the medial fascicle via the recording electrode. The probe's proximity to the nerve is determined by the electrical muscle activity in the medial fascicle elicited as a result of the nerve stimulation, where the controller provides feedback to a user to guide placement of the probe adjacent the nerve.

Title: Burner tube
Inventor: THIESSEN RANDALL J
IPC: F23D14/02
Filed: 2020-11-02
Granted: 2022-06-16
Abstract: A system and method uses a combustor and gasifier to burn a primary dirty fuel, such as waste materials or high-polluting fossil fuels, and a secondary low-polluting fuel, such as biomass fuels, for co-generation of electricity while reducing harmful emissions. The primary fuel is burned at least partially through the use of an improved burner tube. Dirty exhaust from a combustor is scrubbed by a gasifier by reforming the combustors exhaust gases into a clean-burning producer gas (syn-gas). The secondary fuel and oxygen are added to the dirty exhaust in the gasifier to create gas, char and ash. The gas powers an engine or turbine that turns a generator, or a boiler, Stirling engine, or Organic Rankine Cycle power plant, and releases a cleaner exhaust.

Abstract: A wireless drink container (102) can monitor a person's hydration and prompt him or her to drink more 
if appropriate. The drink containers as described herein can monitor liquid levels and communicate with 
external devices about the liquid levels and rate of consumption. One or more sensors (110, 130, 150) 
in the drink container monitor the liquid level within the container. A processor coupled to the sensor(s) 
estimates how much liquid has been removed from the container from changes in the liquid level and 
transmits a signal representing the change in liquid level to a smartphone or other external device. It 
also triggers an audio or visual indicator (154), such as an LED, that prompts the user to drink more 
based on the user's estimated liquid consumption and on the user's liquid consumption goals, which 
may be based on the user's physiology, activity level, and location. See Fig. 1A.
