| 20100324625 | BRACKETING SCAR FOR TREATING PAIN WITH ELECTRICAL STIMULATION - A method includes implanting one or more leads in proximity to a scar of a patient. The one or more leads have a plurality of electrodes and are implanted such that a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes is implanted subcutaneously on a side of a longitudinal axis of the scar and a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes is implanted on an opposing side of the longitudinal axis of the scar. Such an electrode configuration may be achieved by positioning leads transverse or perpendicular to the scar. The method further includes applying electrical signals to tissue in the region of the scar via the first and second electrodes. The electrical signals applied in such a manner may be helpful for treating pain associated with the scar. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20110040348 | DORSAL COLUMN STIMULATION THERAPY - In some examples, the disclosure relates to system, devices, and techniques for delivering dorsal column stimulation. One or more locations for dorsal column stimulation may be identified based on sensed signals evoked by delivery of stimulation to a dorsal root and/or peripheral nerve of a patient. In some examples, an IMD may deliver dorsal column stimulation in combination with dorsal root stimulation to a patient to treat a patient condition. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20100212569 | LIFT SYSTEM FOR AN ELEVATOR - A lift assembly is provided for a platform such as used on a ship. The platform can have four spaced apart hitch points. In one embodiment, the lift assembly includes four trolley drive assemblies, each trolley drive assembly including a trolley guidable along a guide rail, and a drive configured to displace the trolley along the guide rails, each trolley being coupled to at least one hitch point. In a second embodiment, a tension leveling assembly is provided in a trolley drive assembly and is configured to couple each of the wire ropes to the trolley and maintain substantially the same amount of tension in each wire rope. In a third embodiment, the lift assembly can be provided on a ship that also includes a vessel for holding water. The lift assembly includes an electric drive that operates as generator and generates current during lowering of the platform, A resistive device is disposed in the vessel and connected to the drive to receive current, the resistive device being configured to dissipate heat into the vessel. | 08-26-2010 |
