| 20100179562 | STIMULATION LEADS, DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE - Devices, systems and methods are provided for accessing and treating anatomies associated with a variety of conditions while minimizing possible complications and side effects. This is achieved by directly neuromodulating a target anatomy associated with the condition while minimizing or excluding undesired neuromodulation of other anatomies. Typically, this involves stimulating portions of neural tissue of the central nervous system, wherein the central nervous system includes the spinal cord and the pairs of nerves along the spinal cord which are known as spinal nerves. In particular, some embodiments of the present invention are used to selectively stimulate portions of the spinal nerves, particularly one or more dorsal root ganglions (DRGs), to treat chronic pain while causing minimal deleterious side effects such as undesired motor responses. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100292769 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR NEUROMODULATING SPINAL ANATOMY - Devices, systems and methods for treating pain or other conditions while minimizing possible complications and side effects. Treatment typically includes electrical stimulation and/or delivery of pharmacological or other agents with the use of a lead or catheter. The devices, systems and methods provide improved anchoring which reduces migration of the lead yet allows for easy repositioning or removal of the lead if desired. The devices, systems and methods also provide for simultaneous treatment of multiple targeted anatomies. This shortens procedure time and allows for less access points, such as needle sticks to the epidural space, which in turn reduces complications, such as cerebral spinal fluid leaks, patient soreness and recovery time. Other possible complications related to the placement of multiple devices are also reduced. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110276056 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR REDUCING MIGRATION - Devices, systems and methods for reducing migration of leads, catheters and similar devices are provided. In particular, devices, systems and methods are provided for creating a slack anchor which assists in maintaining the lead or catheter in a desired position. In some embodiments, the slack anchor is created within the epidural space. When targeting nerve anatomy within the spinal column or in the vicinity of the epidural space, anchoring within the epidural space allows the associated lead or catheter to be anchored as close to the target therapy site as desired or possible. By anchoring close to the target therapy site, the risk of movement or migration is significantly reduced or eliminated. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20080294622 | Ontology based recommendation systems and methods - A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms and lets users briefly describe the intended recipient (i.e., interests, eccentricities, previously successful gifts). Based on that input, the recommendation software may determine the meaning of the entered terms and creatively discover connections to gift recommendations from the vast array of possibilities. The user may then make a selection from these recommendations. The engine will allow the user to find gifts through connections that are not limited to previously available information on the Internet. Thus, interests can be connected to buying behavior by relating terms to respective items. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080294624 | Recommendation systems and methods using interest correlation - A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms taken from user profiles at social networking and online dating applications and blogs. The profiles and blogs can include interests, eccentricities, age, gender, and location information associated with the user. The interest information can include music, movies, sports and personality traits. Based on the user's profile information, the system determines which ad from a stock of ads is best suited to a given profile and delivers that ad. The system can enable advertisers to create and manage online advertising campaigns using a campaign manager in which they attach descriptions to ads in their inventory, thereby generating a profile for each ad which is then compared to the profiles in the target online environment. A user interface can be provided to enable the user to fine-tune product and service recommendation results. The system can be used to match user profiles to provide mate-matching in an online dating environment. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110296146 | HARDWARE INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCELERATE TABLE-DRIVEN MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION EVALUATION - A set of instructions for implementation in a floating-point unit or other computer processor hardware is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an extended-range fused multiply-add operation, a first look-up operation, and a second look-up operation are each embodied in hardware instructions configured to be operably executed in a processor. These operations are accompanied by a table which provides a set of defined values in response to various function types, supporting the computation of elementary functions such as reciprocal, square, cube, fourth roots and their reciprocals, exponential, and logarithmic functions. By allowing each of these functions to be computed with a hardware instruction, branching and predicated execution may be reduced or eliminated, while also permitting the use of distributed instructions across a number of execution units. | 12-01-2011 |
