Abstract: Methods and devices for creating and/or adding to sensations of satiety to reduce food intake. Methods include electrically stimulating the duodenum which may induce false nerve signals in the duodenal region which are normally indicative of duodenal distension (fullness) and/or the presence of food in the duodenum. The artificially generated signals may be applied in a pattern which mimics at least in part a naturally occurring pattern of duodenal signals generated responsive to eating a meal. Some artificial patterns may be exaggerated relative to the natural patterns, by occurring earlier after ingestion, and/or lasting longer after ingestion, having an exaggerated (higher) frequency response or a faster rate of frequency increase after ingestion. The applied signals may generate nerve signals going to the brain which induce a feeling of satiety.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a neurological stimulation lead is adapted for implantation proximate target nerve tissue in a person for neurological stimulation of the target nerve tissue. A resilient lead body has a generally spiral natural configuration. A plurality of electrodes are located along the resilient lead body and adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue. The plurality of electrodes are located along the resilient lead body such that the electrodes are arranged in a predetermined array when the resilient lead body is in its generally spiral natural configuration. An inner channel formed through the resilient lead body is adapted to receive a straightening element. When inserted into the inner channel, the straightening element is adapted to place the resilient body in a generally linear configuration for insertion of the lead into the person and positioning of the electrodes proximate the target nerve tissue. The resilient lead body is adapted to return to its generally spiral natural configuration upon removal of the straightening element from the inner channel after insertion of the lead and positioning of the electrodes proximate the nerve tissue.

Abstract: Implementations for adaptive context sensitive time division multiplexed scheduling and execution of tasks to be performed by a high frequency ablation system, such as an RF ablation system, are disclosed. The implementations may be effectuated in software, firmware, or both. Tasks may be categorized into categories corresponding to task priorities. Time blocks may be allocated during which execution of the tasks may be performed. The time blocks may be divided into time slots. A task may be assigned to a time slot based, at least in part, on a categorization priority of the task. Additionally, each task may be executed according to the schedule delineated by the time slots. An assignment of tasks to time slots may be adjusted based, at least in part, on data received at a high frequency ablation device of the high frequency ablation system.
