摘要:
The delivery system may include, for example, an outer catheter having a distal tip and an inner support member, such as an inner catheter, disposed within the outer catheter. The inner support member includes an anchor member adjacent a distal tip of the inner support member and a support portion axially inward of the anchor member. The support portion is configured for supporting an implantable device thereon. A diameter of the anchor member corresponds to a diameter of a portion of a vessel in which the anchor member is to be disposed. The anchor member is configured to be lodged in the portion of the vessel to locate an intended position of the anchor member and to prevent movement of the inner support member relative to the vessel during release of the implantable device.

A method for autonomously parking a motor vehicle (12) in various types of parking spots includes the steps of receiving a map of a parking area (30), locating the motor vehicle (12) within the parking area (30), selecting a parking spot within the parking area (30), generating a node tree from the location of the motor vehicle (12) to the parking spot, selecting a path (61) from the node tree, wherein the path (61) connects the location of the motor vehicle (12) to the parking spot, autonomously driving the motor vehicle (12) along the path from the location of the motor vehicle (12) to an intermediate location on the path (61), and performing a parking maneuver into the parking spot from the intermediate location. The parking maneuver may be a head-in, tail-in, or parallel parking maneuver.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for treating fibromyalgia. One step of the method can include placing a therapy delivery device into electrical communication with a parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) nerve target, other than the vagus nerve, which is associated with the fibromyalgia. Next, the therapy delivery device can be activated to deliver a therapy signal to the PNS nerve target in an amount and for a time sufficient to effect a change in parasympathetic activity in the subject and thereby treat the fibromyalgia.
