20100241179Techniques for Positioning Therapy Delivery Elements within a Spinal Cord or Brain - Apparatus and techniques to address problems associated with lead migration, patient movement or position, histological changes, neural plasticity or disease progression. Disclosed are techniques for implanting a lead having therapy delivery elements, such as electrodes or drug delivery ports, within a vertebral or cranial bone so as to maintain these elements in a fixed position relative to a desired treatment site. The therapy delivery elements may thereafter be adjusted in situ with a position control mechanism and/or a position controller to improve the desired treatment, such as electrical stimulation and/or drug infusion to a precise target. The therapy delivery elements may be positioned laterally in any direction relative to the targeted treatment site or toward or away from the targeted treatment site. A control system maybe provided for open- or closed-loop feedback control of the position of the therapy delivery elements as well as other aspects of the treatment therapy.09-23-2010

20080255544System for Guiding Instruments Having Different Sizes - A system and procedure for using the system are disclosed for guiding instruments of varying sizes. The instruments can be guided into various portions of the anatomy for performing a procedure, providing a treatment, measuring a physiological response, or the like. Two or more instruments of varying sizes can be driven or guided relative to one another with the same system.10-16-2008
20080255583Method For Guiding Instruments Having Different Sizes - A system and procedure for using the system are disclosed for guiding instruments of varying sizes. The instruments can be guided into various portions of the anatomy for performing a procedure, providing a treatment, measuring a physiological response, or the like. Two or more instruments of varying sizes can be driven or guided relative to one another with the same system.10-16-2008
20080269777Method And Apparatus For Controlled Insertion and Withdrawal of Electrodes - A system for a controlled insertion and withdrawal of at least one electrode in the anatomy. The system can include a guide device and at least one electrode located within the guide device to at least one of record or stimulate an anatomy. The system can also include an indicator coupled to the electrode to indicate a position of a distal end of an electrode relative to the guide device.10-30-2008
20100160771Method and Apparatus for Performing a Navigated Procedure - A system can be used to navigate or guide an instrument or device into an anatomy of a patient. The navigation can occur with the use of image data acquired of the patient. The image data can be registered to the patient space for navigation. One or more tracking devices can be the associated with the patient and with guiding instruments for tracking guiding devices relative to the patient.06-24-2010
20100280585Method and Apparatus for Securing an Electrode - A system for securing at least one electrode to an anatomy is provided. The system can include a first plate, which can include at least one first passage. The at least one first passage can be configured to receive a lead of the at least one electrode. The system can also include a second plate configured to move relative to the first plate. The movement of the second plate relative to the first plate can at least partially occlude the at least one passage of the first plate to secure the lead of the at least one electrode to the anatomy.11-04-2010

20110242829COOLING ARRANGEMENT FOR A LUMINAIRE - A cooling arrangement comprising a source electrode, a first and a second target electrode arranged at a distance from the source electrode and control circuitry for controlling a voltage being applied between the source electrode and at least one of the first and the second target electrodes. The voltage is controlled such that an airflow resulting from a potential difference between the source electrode and at least one of the first and the second target electrodes is arranged to have alternating directions. By means of the invention it may be possible to provide cooling of a device having similar or better performances than a conventional heat sink and fan system, but with a smaller size and weight as well as being silent.10-06-2011

20090039643SECURE IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS - Improvements that prevent tampering of images on identification documents for example identity cards, credit cards and the like, and passports. The document includes a full color image of a person, and a second, full, achromatic image of the person formed underneath and spaced from the color image and in congruence therewith using a laser. The second full image is not visible underneath the first full image during normal viewing of the document, and is only visible upon removal of all or a portion of the first full image. As a result, the document and the image have no outwardly apparent visual difference to the document holder or to a would-be counterfeiter. This provides a covert security feature that is not known or seen until the document is attacked by removing the first full image.02-12-2009
