| 20100111654 | SYSTEM FOR LOADING PARTICULATE MATTER INTO A TRANSPORT CONTAINER - A method of loading particulate matter into a transport container having at least one chamber with a peripheral region using an apparatus comprising a rotatable member configured to be positioned at least partially into an opening for the chamber. The method can include the acts of locating the apparatus adjacent the opening for the chamber by movement relative to the transport container, initiating a flow of particulate matter from the apparatus into the opening, rotating the rotatable member to facilitate the dispensing of particulate matter within the chamber, and engaging the rotatable member with particulate matter so that at least a portion of particulate matter that has been dispensed into the chamber is pushed into the peripheral region within the chamber. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090106301 | Creating reference objects - A storage medium and computer system that, in an embodiment, in response to a request to create a target object, create a reference object for the target object and bind the reference object to a name space without the target object being instantiated. In response to an invocation of a method on the reference object, a determination is made whether a target object associated with the reference object exists. If the target object does not already exist, the target object is instantiated. If the target object does already exist, the target object is returned. In this way, target objects are not instantiated until a method on the reference object is invoked, which in an embodiment increases the performance of the invoking application. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090270957 | STIMULATION SYSTEM WITH PERCUTANEOUSLY DELIVERABLE PADDLE LEAD AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING - An implantable lead includes an expandable paddle body and a plurality of electrodes disposed on the paddle body. The electrodes are configured and arranged to provide electrical stimulation to adjacent tissue when implanted and the lead is coupled to a control module. The paddle body is configured for percutaneous implantation through an introducer followed by expansion of a volume of the paddle body by at least 10%. Alternatively, the paddle body is configured for percutaneous implantation and when implanted the lead is configured and arranged so that a position or orientation of the plurality of electrodes relative to the paddle body can be altered. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090212766 | JOYSTICK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A joystick having a movable member that includes a shaft portion and a spherical portion wherein the shaft portion has a diameter less than the spherical portion. An actuating member is secured to the shaft portion of the movable member to provide actuation of the movable member. A magnet is disposed within the spherical portion of the movable member and positioned adjacent a three axis sensor such that the magnet moves in a hemispherical pattern along the three axis sensor to operate a device. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090048685 | Method And Apparatus For Occluding A Lumen - A method and apparatus of occluding a lumen of a body cavity, more preferably, the lower uterine segment and/or cervix of a female patient is provided that results in a significant reduction or complete elimination of uterine bleeding, thereby providing a treatment option for conditions such as menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100319691 | VACUUM AND POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTRATHORACIC PRESSURE REGULATION - Medical techniques include systems and methods for administering a positive pressure ventilation, a positive end expiratory pressure, and a vacuum to a person. Approaches also include treating a person with an intrathoracic pressure regulator so as to modulate or upregulate the autonomic system of the person, and treating a person with a combination of an intrathoracic pressure regulation treatment and an intra-aortic balloon pump treatment. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100059065 | Tongue Implant for Sleep Apnea - A patient's obstructive sleep apnea is treated by identifying a patient with sleep apnea attributable at least in part to movement of a base of a tongue of said patient toward a pharyngeal wall of said patient. The method includes identifying a region in the tongue extending from a mandibular-geniohyoid interface to the base of the tongue and stiffening a tissue of the tongue throughout the identified region. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100059066 | Tongue implant - A patient's obstructive sleep apnea is treated by identifying a patient with sleep apnea attributable at least in part to movement of a base of a tongue of the patient toward a pharyngeal wall of the patient. The tongue is stiffened by an implant sized to be placed within the tongue. A distal portion of the implant is sized to extend within the tongue from a first end near a mandibular-geniohyoid interface to a second end near a base of the tongue. A proximal portion is attached to the first end and adapted to be secured to a jaw bone of the patient following a period of healing after placement of the implant in the tongue. | 03-11-2010 |
