| 20090293694 | MATERIAL TRIMMER WITH CUT-LINE INDICATOR - A material trimmer for trimming sheet material having a blade slidingly engageable with the sheet material along a cutline and an indicator indicative of the approximate location of the cutline. The indicator provides for ready and correct orientation of the sheet material within the material trimmer. In one set of embodiments, the blade is attached to a carriage or trolley adapted for sliding translation along a portion of a guide. The guide is operatively connected to a base. The indicator is disposed in relation to a slot provided in the guide overlaying the sheet material orientated on the base. The indicator may comprise a cord operatively connected to the guide. The tension of the indicator is maintained or adjusted through manipulation of one or more tensioners operatively connected to the guide. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090313833 | MATERIAL TRIMMER WITH ILLUMINATED CUT LINE INDICATOR - A material trimmer for trimming sheet material having a blade slidingly engageable with the sheet material along a cut line and a cut line projector operable to create a cut line indicator indicative of the approximate location of the cut line. The projector provides for a ready and correct orientation of the sheet material within the material trimmer. The projector includes a light bar mounted to the base of the material trimmer. When activated, the light bar creates an illuminated cut line indicator that is projected onto the material being cut. The illuminated cut line indicator illustrates location where the material trimmer will trim the material placed on the base of the material trimmer. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20100234912 | FLEXIBLE NEURAL STIMULATION ENGINE - A method for implementing a neural stimulation therapy mode in an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising the acts of mapping respective device states, defined by one or more timer states that include at least one neural event timer or one or more indications of one or more sensed physiologic events, to associated device actions in a stored neural table, storing an event represented as a device status word and a time stamp in a queue in response to an action input, and comparing one or more current timer states or one or more indications of one or more sensed physiologic events to a device state contained in the neural table and, if found to match, causing performance of one or more associated device actions, wherein the device actions include one or more of a neural stimulation energy delivery or a change in one or more timer states. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100298900 | CARDIAC PACEMAKER WITH TABLE-BASED PACING MODE IMPLEMENTATION - A device and method for implementing a bradycardia pacing mode are disclosed which is mostly hardware-based but still allows the flexibility for making major changes in brady behavior normally found only in firmware-based implementations. The brady behavior of the device is encapsulated by a table in an area of RAM referred to as brady RAM, and the brady behavior can be changed by re-loading the brady RAM with a different table. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100324622 | IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR AND METHOD HAVING ADJUSTABLE SIGNAL BLANKING - An implantable pulse generator senses a cardiac signal, identifies cardiac events in the cardiac signal, and starts a blanking interval including a repeatable noise window blanking interval in response to each cardiac event. When noise is detected during the repeatable noise window blanking interval, the noise window blanking interval is repeated. In one embodiment, the duration of repeated repeatable noise window blanking intervals is summed and compared to a pacing escape interval. When the sum is greater than the pacing escape interval, asynchronous pacing pulses are delivered until the noise ceases. Alternatively, when the sum is greater than the pacing escape interval, the pace escape interval is repeated. | 12-23-2010 |
